That's why I fell so in love with capturing weddings. You're creating the memories you'll tell stories about for the rest of your life. Your wedding gallery should feel like a time capsule, something you can return to years from now and instantly remember the way it all felt, not just how it looked. Through digital, film, and super 8, I want to tell your story in a way that feels entirely like you.
I'm a wedding photographer, filmmaker, mom, nostalgia enthusiast, and person who will probably have a Diet Coke or energy drink somewhere within reach. I've always been drawn to things that make you feel like you've stepped backward in time. Old photographs, film, home videos etc, The way a certain song can bring you straight back to a specific summer.

let's do this!
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, I'm a wife, a mom of twins, and the person behind this little business I started 4 years ago. I've been married 6 years, and life these days is a sweet mix of family, motherhood, and getting to do work I genuinely love. I always have a film camera in my purse to document the little pieces of everyday life, and you’ll rarely find me without a comfort drink in hand.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of traveling from California all the way to New York, to document love stories. Getting to see new places, meet new people, and preserve the way two people love each other is something I never take for granted. I love romanticizing the everyday and creating images that let you feel the emotion of a day all over again. Getting to document love stories from the quiet in-between moments to the people and places that make a wedding day yours — feels like an extension of my personal life and the way I want to remember it.
