My approach is rooted in trust and presence—I document the joy, quiet emotion, and in-between magic that naturally unfolds throughout your day. My couples value beautiful design, emotional connection, and the gift of gathering their people in one place.
I approach every celebration with a photojournalistic perspective, aiming to capture the essence of your day with light, true-to-life, film-inspired images. I am best known for making my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. I have a soft spot for handwritten vows and those raw, unfiltered smiles shared with your loved ones.

the timeline
how it all began
living with a camera in hand SINCE 2011
2011
My love for documenting stories started in 2011 when I got my first camera for Christmas to take photos during an upcoming trip to Costa Rica. Little did I know that tiny purple point-and-shoot camera was the start of something special!
2014
Spent my years in school doing photoshoots with my friends in random fields and pretty locations around Charlottesville. The thought of being a photographer hadn’t crossed my mind yet- I simply loved finding beautiful compositions and making someone feel confident in front of the camera!
2016
Believe it or not, I didn’t start off photographing weddings but actually events on my college’s campus. I bought my first camera and spent months deep diving into the technology behind the camera. My camera started to become attached at my hip!
2017
I dipped my toe into wedding photography and it all came together- my love for documentary stories, beautiful compositions, and making someone feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. And now here we are today!
Effortless storytelling for the stylish and sentimental. I believe your wedding photos should feel like you—natural, joy-filled, and timeless.
