Driven by a passion for poetic imagery, my motivation comes from an innate desire to express both beauty and truth. I began photographing weddings in 2011 and decided to take my business full time at the beginning of 2016. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph hundreds of weddings and have documented over twenty different cultures. Whether you’re looking for wedding or portrait photography, I take that trust very seriously and I’m humbled that you’re considering me. From inquiry to delivery, my goal is to make this process fun and seamless for you. I will tell your story in the most beautiful and honest way I know how.

My pursuit of film photography started when assisting my dad. Growing up, I spent most days in his darkroom. Turning the paper in the developer was my favorite job as a young girl. In those moments we stood back, watching the story we saw in real time unfold again. Even at a young age I valued the memories that images carry. It was imparted to me that a photograph should be timeless but I’ve also come to see imagery as limitless. I enjoy creating both lighthearted and classic photographs you’ll want to pass down through generations. I aim to create effortless imagery that embodies nostalgia and romance. Honest color palettes and sun drenched scenes inspire me.

I fell in love with weddings at a young age as well. It was either when I watched "Father of the Bride" or when I was a flower girl at my cousin’s wedding. Regardless, I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't live and breathe weddings. I’m wildly thankful for a career that allows me to pursue a simple life of travel and intentional living. I primarily work out of Southern California, but my husband is from the west coast of Scotland, so we frequent the United Kingdom.

The saving love of Christ is the measure of my life. Serving Jesus and my family is my greatest joy! I love deep conversation, hosting dinner parties and cooking nourishing meals. I live and love a lot of things. But mostly, I’d be honored to serve you and be your storyteller. That’s more than enough about me — please tell me about you and your love story. I hope this is the start of something beautiful!
