SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES
UNIQUE, PERSONALIZED & DISTINCTIVE
“Intention means every decision,
from the most obviously significant to the
seemingly mundane, matters.”
— Will Guidara
Weddings & Elopements
I offer bespoke collections for discerning clients who value a tailored, exceptional experience. From the welcome party and bridesmaids’ lunch to the rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and post-wedding brunch, I thoughtfully document the full story of your celebration weekend — with a calm, artful presence and an editorial eye.
Partnering closely with your planner, I help bring your vision to life while paying attention to every detail — from travel planning and timeline coordination to styling, lighting, photography, editing, and ultimately, the design and delivery of your final imagery, prints, and heirloom albums.
Your love story will be documented with a refined blend of authentic, emotion-filled candids, timeless portraits, curated details, food, fashion, and guest experiences — creating a collection that feels both deeply personal and effortlessly stylish.
Since the beginning, my desire has always been to create images that feel as relevant in 50 years as they do today. Every gallery is edited in my signature classic color and black & white, ensuring a timeless aesthetic that will never go out of style.
I also encourage you to print your images. Whether as fine art albums or framed giclée prints, there’s nothing more meaningful than leaving a tangible, lasting legacy of photographic memories for future generations.
All wedding collections include photography by me and my assistant photographer(s), custom travel planning, and timeline collaboration. Additional coverage — such as pre-wedding events, post-wedding brunch, or destination portrait sessions — is available. All edited images are delivered in a beautiful online gallery for easy viewing, downloading, and sharing. Fine art prints, albums, and custom products are also available to order.

Bridal Portraits
Bridal portraits provide more time for you to spend in your wedding dress, capturing more variety of beautiful images in various locations. Many of my brides use this session as a trial run before the big day—allowing them to decide on hair and makeup looks, assess fit and movement, and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and style. Collaborating closely with you and your planner, I help select the perfect locations and art-direct every detail to create stunning images to share with future generations...who may, one day, also wear your dress.
Engagement Portraits
Engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to highlight your lifestyle in destinations where you meet, connect, and make memories. I also love it when couples include hobbies and interests in your imagery. I collaborate with you and your planner to get creative on locations, styling, and fashion as well as art direct the shoot for the best possible images to tell your love story.
Lifestyle Portraits & Headshots
My photography business is deeply rooted in lifestyle portraiture, which is where my journey began. For over 20 years, I’ve had the honor of capturing families, babies, children, teens, graduates, and couples. I’ve even had the privilege of photographing brides and grooms who I first photographed as toddlers, children, and teen s—documenting their stories across generations. Whether it’s the significant milestones or the everyday moments that often go unnoticed, it’s my passion to capture them all. I’m more than happy to travel to any location that holds meaning in your lifestyle.
In addition to my lifestyle work, I also specialize in headshots and portraits for both personal and corporate branding. You can explore more of that work here.
Commercial + Editorial
With years of experience as a visual storyteller, I specialize in capturing brands for advertising campaigns and editorial features in leading publications. Understanding the essence of you and your brand is always my top priority.
With a background as both a marketing director in the fashion industry and an art director for a national magazine publisher, I bring a well-rounded, creative perspective to every production. From concept development and creative direction to assembling a trusted team, building timelines, executing the shoot, and overseeing retouching — I manage every step with intention to ensure a seamless process and exceptional results.

Corporate and Charity Events
Whether you're hosting a local gathering or a destination event, I photograph corporate and charitable occasions with the same thoughtful approach I bring to weddings and editorials — capturing the atmosphere, emotion, and design details that reflect your vision.
From keynote speakers and candid guest interactions to brand activations and elegant décor, I’ll ensure your images tell the full story of the experience — one that celebrates your mission, your guests, and your success.
THE BENEFITS OF TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
Ability to Help You Feel At Ease
I work with my couples in a way that enables you to enjoy the experience. I want the day to unfold organically and not interfere with authentic moments and emotions. The goal is for you to forget I'm there until you need direction, and when I see you do, I step in to direct in an unobtrusive way that keeps you fully present in the moment.
Attention to Details & Styling
With a background in art direction, commercial, editorial and travel photography, I approach your wedding day as a storyteller, with an eye for lighting, details, architecture, scenery and styling as I would for a fashion, lifestyle or interiors editorial.
Collaboration with Vendor Teams
The ability to collaborate with vendor teams is crucial to executing your day successfully. I have worked with the best teams of creatives including planners, producers, creative directors, stylist, editors, filmmakers, and venues — concepting ideas, art directing, and coordinating efficient timelines to create images that tell the compelling story.
Experience Handling Unexpected Circumstances
With over two decades of experience, I have encountered a variety of extreme weather conditions and unexpected circumstances on a wedding day. My team and I always have a plan B and C in place. The off camera lighting skills I have gained from commercial and editorial work prove themselves invaluable when we are forced inside due to rain, so you will still have beautiful lighting for your portraits.
