A Calming presence
My journey into wedding photography began with a black and white framed photo – an image of my grandparents kissing in the backseat of their getaway car. The details of that photograph are etched in my mind, a timeless memory that has lasted nearly 70 years of their marriage. Witnessing the enduring value of that image, I've come to understand the profound impact a photograph can have over time.
As a photographer, I take on the role of a documentarian, capturing the true heart of every celebration. Weddings are a day of joyous firsts and heartfelt lasts, and it's my privilege to preserve these moments for a lifetime.
My career is a testament to the incredible clients who have welcomed me into their lives, asking me to capture not just a day but every milestone that follows. Building these enduring relationships is the most rewarding aspect of my work – turning clients into friends and documenting a special slice of history for each one.
Every day, I wake up grateful to have a career deeply rooted in passion and creativity. If you've connected with my portfolio and would like more information about working together, I'd love to hear from you.
