I believe the best photos happen when you forget you're being photographed. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive - think of me as a guest with a camera, blending into your day rather than directing it. No stiff posing (unless we want to go for that Vogue cover shot ;-)), no pressure, just real moments as they unfold. As an empath, I have a natural instinct for sensing when something special is about to happen, and I know how to be in the right place to capture raw, genuine emotion before it passes. I also just really love making people laugh. When you're relaxed and having fun, your most authentic self shows up, and that is what makes a photograph truly unforgettable. All in all, I want every experience in front of my camera to be fun and stress-free, with no pressure to perform.
There is no greater joy than capturing the beauty of places, things, and people, but nothing compares to the honor of being trusted by couples to document love in its truest form. I don't take that privilege lightly, and I hope you won't take choosing your photographer lightly either. Finding the right photographer isn't just about gorgeous images. It's about finding someone who will look out for you, hype you up, bring laughter and calm to what can be an emotional and overwhelming day, and who is genuinely, wholeheartedly thrilled for you to be marrying the love of your life. At the heart of what I do is this: creating heirlooms. Keepsakes to cherish for a lifetime and pass down to future generations, so they can see exactly what your love looked like.
My philosophy...
The heart behind my art is my own love. Justin, the man who believed in me from the very beginning and continues to help me make my dreams come true. I understand now how life-changing true love can be, because it has changed mine. Being loved and loved well is the greatest gift in this life, and Justin is the greatest example of that. His love makes me a better person and a better artist..
