About  Me

I was born and raised in Ohio, and I’m so grateful to still call it home. I’m currently soaking up the newlywed season with my high school sweetheart, Jesse, after getting married this past July! When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me hiking in Cuyahoga Valley National Park (with a coffee in hand), spending time with my family (I’m the second oldest of five!), or somewhere in the middle of my church community. Most importantly, I love Jesus. He has radically changed my life, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am or doing what I love today without Him.

About  Me

I’ve always loved photography, but the people I get to meet and the stories I get to step into are what make this work so special to me. My faith in Jesus has shaped the way I see people, relationships, and the privilege of being welcomed into some of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. Creating beautiful photographs will always matter to me, but even more, I want my couples to remember how genuinely cared for they felt along the way.

About  Me

My favorite part of my job is getting to witness the immense joy of a wedding day. There is something so special about being surrounded by people who have come together to celebrate two people they love. I love the anticipation, the happy tears from a first look, the laughter from the best man's speech, the quiet moments before the ceremony, and the energy of everyone being together in one place. I think my favorite part is knowing that I get to experience all of that alongside my couples while preserving the little moments they may not even realize are happening.

A business built on faith and a heart to intentionally serve

Working with me is meant to feel personal, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable from the very beginning. I want you to feel like you’re working with someone who cares about more than just your wedding photos, but about you two, your relationship, and the experience you have throughout the process.

You can expect plenty of guidance without feeling overly posed or directed. I’ll help you feel prepared leading up to your wedding day, talk through your timeline and photography needs, and be there when you have questions along the way. On the wedding day, I’ll step in when you need direction and step back when the real moments are unfolding.

Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable being yourselves with me. I’m there to celebrate with you, keep things calm when the day gets a little hectic, notice the moments you may miss, and make sure you feel truly taken care of from our first conversation to the moment you receive your gallery.

Back

I’m based in Cleveland, Ohio, and love traveling throughout Ohio and beyond to document your story. Travel within Ohio is always complimentary, and I’m happy to create a custom travel quote for out-of-state weddings.

What areas do you serve? 

Back

I believe the best wedding photos come from feeling comfortable, connected, and completely yourselves in front of the camera. That’s why I prioritize getting to know my couples before the wedding day. Every wedding collection includes a complimentary engagement session, giving us the chance to spend time together, get comfortable in front of my camera, and learn what makes you two, you. So when your wedding day arrives, having your portraits taken feels natural, relaxed, and familiar. 

Do you offer engagement sessions with your wedding collections?

Back

Since the engagement session is offered as a complimentary part of every wedding collection, choosing not to use it does not change the price of your collection. It’s simply an included experience for couples who want to spend some time together before the wedding day, get comfortable in front of the camera, and get to know me a little better. If an engagement session isn’t something you need, you’re still welcome to book your collection at the same investment.

Does the price of your collections change if we don’t need an engagement session?

Back

Your wedding gallery will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share your images. Within 3 days of your wedding, you’ll receive 100+ sneak peeks to relive some of your favorite moments. Your complete wedding gallery will be delivered within 8 weeks of your wedding day.

How and when will we receive our photos? 

Back

Your memories deserve to be protected every step of the way. I photograph your wedding using a dual-slot camera, which creates two copies of your images as I photograph your day. Once I’m home, I back everything up to an external hard drive and a cloud-based storage system for added security. That means your wedding photos are safely stored in four separate places from the moment your wedding day begins through the delivery of your final gallery.

Let's Connect

Your wedding day will pass far more quickly than you expect, but the photographs will stay. I want to create something that feels like you, captures the beauty you may have missed, and gives you a way to return to this season for years to come. If you’re drawn to photographs that feel honest, nostalgic, and full of heart, I’d love to hear from you!
