Unforgettable photographs don't just happen. Rather, they're the result of an intentional, collaborative process between the artist, the client, and the entire creative team. My experience allows me to anticipate the moments of high emotion and energy on a wedding day, ensuring that these moments are planned for and documented beautifully.

Your wedding experience should feel like an escape, an excursion into the present moment, a place where you can feel the pulse of every emotion and intrinsic detail.
With a relaxed yet refined approach, I am inspired by the unique excitement, energy, and design of each wedding I witness. Every couple and celebration is unique, therefore, stiff poses and cookie cutter images have no place in my work.

EXPERTISE
What Sets This Experience Apart
the method
After nearly a decade of photographing weddings in the DC area, I've come to anticipate exactly when to step in and direct - and when to step back and document. You can count on me to be a calm, warm, and confident presence, guiding you and your loved ones through the events of the day without ever feeling rushed or staged.
EXCLUSIVITY
I photograph just ten wedding celebrations per year, allowing me to give each client the highest level of service before, during, and after the wedding day. From collaborating with your planner and vendor team, to arriving fresh and ready to create on the wedding day, to fast gallery turnaround post-wedding, you can rest assured that your memories are in capable hands.
