Certified photographer of real emotion

If you're anything like me, you freeze up when you have to be in front of the camera. You don't know what to do with your hands and you end up smiling with your mouth but not your eyes (good grief).

​

I've been there. I've worked with photographers who live for stiff photos and don't really care about building a genuine connection with you to capture the REAL you. 

​

Capturing the essence of someone is a really hard thing to do. And perhaps no one is truly fully captured in a photograph. But I strive to. Through the process of inviting real emotion with you and your partner, you will get photos that show your genuine smile, a beautiful quiet moment between the two of you, or maybe even some happy tears.

​

I have been documenting weddings in a documentary way for over nine years. During this long journey, I have developed a process that will help capture the real you in the most real way possible. Say goodbye to awkward photos. I gotchu boo.
