You only get to experience your wedding once, but your photos last a lifetime. I believe the best photos capture not only how you great you look, but also how happy you feel together. I love beautiful dresses and flowers, but my favorite photos are moments of heartfelt emotion and interaction. I believe weddings are about more than one perfect day, and I want my photos to nurture your love and relationship over a lifetime.
I've been photographing weddings for almost a decade, and I've seen a lot of trends come and go. The things that don't change are the beautiful moments of connection I see between people, and that's what keeps me coming back for more.
I typically work with people who consider exceptional photography their highest budget priority. My couples want a little bit of everything in their wedding photos: authentic and creative portraits, beautifully composed images of their ceremony, candids of the friends and family surrounding them, photos of the details they've worked hard to pull together, and a few traditional family photos for their parents and grandparents to frame. In every type of photograhy, I seek to capture the most authentic and beautiful images of my couples and their wedding day.

I believe the relationship between the photographer and the couple is one of the most important factors in creating beautiful images, and I book a limited number of weddings per year so I can give my clients the time, attention, and creative energy they need. Wedding coverage includes digital files and an online gallery for sharing and printing.
I love traveling back to Washington, DC, my hometown of Traverse City, Michigan, and around the country for destination weddings. Wherever you wed, I'd love to capture all the moments, big and small, that will make you smile for years to come. Prices vary by destination, so please contact me for full details about booking.
Engagement sessions are one of my very favorite things to shoot! They help my couples to get comfortable with my unique posing methods and allow me to create natural, heartfelt images of them in a relaxed environment. My sessions last 2-3 hours and can include multiple locations and outfits.
Whether you’ve just fallen in love or been together for years, I want to hear your story and help you capture all it’s richness.
