Why I Love Weddings:
A wedding signifies the joining of two people’s lives and the beginning of a new journey in their relationship. To have both the bride and groom’s family there to celebrate their love creates an exhilarating atmosphere and I love having the opportunity to capture those beautiful memories for all to enjoy and remember forever.

A Little Bit About Myself:
I’ve always loved photography and knew one day I’d be shooting professionally. I started off by picking up any camera I could get my hands on. Then, when I reached high school, I only took the film classes because I enjoyed going into the dark room and tuning everything out to focus on developing my shots. When I got into college, I realized analog would be impractical to do since technology is constantly evolving. Now, I enjoy shooting digital because I am doing what I’ve always wanted to do! Switching to digital and evolving myself has allowed me to grow as a photographer and has given me amazing opportunities, like photographing for RollingStone.com!

My Photographic Style:
I like to capture as much detail as I can, pops in color, and candid shots are my absolute favorites. I also capture the moment so that when you look back at the image you feel like you were reliving it! I’m not a “play-it-safe” photographer. I like risk-taking angles, subjects, and lenses.
