Capturing Intimate Moments and Micro Weddings My take on this industry and my role, is very simple; authenticity is *key*.

Not one client, session or photographer is alike and that is what makes this such a beautiful and authentic experience! We live in a world that commercializes "big" moments, where you might feel that those "bigger" achievements are the only things to celebrate. Wrong, my friend. As someone who has experienced much loss and tragedy in a very short period of time, I can confidently say that the smal

l, intimate, in-between moments that pass quickly; those are also moments worth celebrating and photographing. I wish, for some of my life's smallest moments, I had a photograph to look back on and reflect on how pivotal those moments were and how they helped shape who I am to this day. These intimate interactions are the things that remind us of maybe an important milestone you achieved in your personal life. Maybe they remind you of a meaningful, raw conversation you had with your partner, which resulted in an even deeper connection than before. What about the simple idea of just setting aside a couple hours one day, designated to being fully present with your partner, being yourselves and celebrating where you are, right in that very moment? Do you see now?? There is no better reason, big or small, to choose to celebrate life and your relationship. Make it a point to book a session that allows you to feel like you're the main characters in your favorite Indie film or 1940's romance movie. I am here for it, here for you and will always encourage you to celebrate yourself! You deserve it.

C and T | Rittenhouse Square

These two are so fun and the sweetest souls! We had a blast frolicking around Rittenhouse, while we captured some engagement photos. Big thank you to The Dandelion for letting us snap some shots inside as well!

I cannot wait for wedding day!

Breaking news: local wedding photographer spotted in a kitchen, making a homemade meal. Authorities confirm she appears… relaxed?

But seriously; this is what my free time looks like when I have it! There’s nothing I love more than cooking with a little jazzy playlist and a crisp glass of NZ Suavy B 🍷

Kelly & Jo proved that the best wedding traditions are the ones that actually feel like you. No first dance. No pressure to perform. Just rooftop vows in Asbury Park, a convertible getaway, flip cup instead of formalities, and a dance floor that never needed convincing. Every moment felt intentional because it reflected exactly who they are. The loud laughter, the happy tears, the chosen family, and the kind of celebration that reminds you weddings aren’t about following a script—they’re about creating one worth remembering.

Some love stories don’t need elaborate direction. They just need space to unfold.

The in-between moments. The lingering hands. The laughter that interrupts a kiss. The way they naturally find each other in every crowded room. Taylor + Brooks, you two are magic ✨

That’s the kind of imagery I’ll choose every single time.

My goal isn’t to create moments that look perfect. It’s to document the ones that already are; cinematic, nostalgic, a little messy, deeply intentional, and unmistakably yours.

There are moments behind the camera that remind me why I do this.

Standing quietly behind the lens, witnessing two people promise forever, I caught myself wiping away tears instead of checking my settings. Love has a way of breaking through every professional wall you think you’ve built.

To every couple who trusts me with the most meaningful day of your lives: thank you. I will never stop feeling the weight and privilege of that trust. 🤍
