THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE

Photography is not just a profession for me; it's a passion that I feel deeply honored to share with you as I document the remarkable moments that make up your extraordinary life. 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 and working with my clients on a photography timeline that allows them to slow down and enjoy their day. I have a soft spot for handwritten vows and those raw, unfiltered smiles shared with your loved ones.
My days are spent with a cup of coffee in reach while editing luxurious weddings, and my nights are likely spent day dreaming of upcoming travels. Originally from Charlottesville, VA, I made Richmond my home in 2021, but you'll often find me on the road. I can't wait to see where your journey takes me!

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!
