Digital and film photography for the anti-cliche couple

Based in Central PA, documenting epic love in NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, and worldwide.

Organic, personality-infused storytelling that feels like a work of art

Your love captured as art, with a modern edge, and a whole lot of love

You want stunning pictures, that’s a given — but more than that, you want an experience that feels personal with photos that feel alive. The kind of images that get under your skin and take you right back to the vows, the late-night laughs, and every intentional detail you poured yourself into.

My documentary approach lets me blend into your world with the ease of a longtime friend, immortalizing the spontaneous dance-offs, shared stolen glances, and the perfectly imperfect moments that make your day feel like you. These are the details that make your wedding day (and life together) distinctly yours, and I'll preserve them in a way that feels both authentic and artful.

My job is to capture your chemistry 

every smirk, side-eye, secret smile, and booty-grab.

Because when you look back, you shouldn’t just see what happened, you should feel it.That’s why I bring a mix of professional care and real connection to capture every detail you’ve dreamed up and all the moments you didn’t see coming.

“I'm obsessed! They are so sweet and funny and us!”

REALLY BIG FEELINGS

Resting bitch face

It’s damn near unbelievable that we can come together to create magic like that. And I will be cheering you on every step of the way (don’t count on pom-poms, just a shit ton of spirit). We’re talking about ditching all judgment—this is your day to laugh, love, and let loose.

we’re gonna ditch those worries and head to a place of total freedom.

Where the chemistry, laughter, and champagne is flowing. A place where you can embrace spontaneity — walk down the aisle together, shake your ass on the dance floor, and eat cake with your hands. Here, you can feel both at peace and empowered to truly be yourself without judgment.

From one emotional creature to another, I know you’re really going through it right now with wedding planning. Energy is high. Things are stressful. You’re likely reading this from the trenches trying to “do the right thing” and make everyone happy. I know your heart is in the right place. 

As hard as it is, let go of all of that…
And take my hand. 

When you create a day that speaks to your soul, you can expect nothing short of overwhelming bliss and the crazy high of being in love. That kind of happiness transforms photos into works of art. Photos that leave you aching with nostalgia and vibrantly color in the gaps of your memory. And those same photos will leave complete strangers awe-stricken, because they’ve never seen a love like yours.

Old school vibes,
not values

I’m all about being a good human and treating others like, well, humans! It’s really not rocket science. Everyone is welcome and celebrated here regardless of who you love, how you look, or what you identify as. No homophobes, transphobes, racists, ableists, xenophobes, or patriarchal assholes allowed!

If you’re about that, and here for timeless, heart-stopping photos, welcome — you can sit with us.
