PORTFOLIO
HIGHLIGHTS

A selection from capturing the heart of celebrations over eighteen years

Commissioning a photographer for a wedding is unique in that you are hiring someone to capture something that will happen for one weekend only. One weekend where all of your most beloved people are gathered together, experiencing the anticipation, emotion, joy, and celebration that is a wedding.


Couples often come to me after having viewed many portfolios, searching for a photographer with the expertise and professionalism that allows them to be truly at ease, while having an eye and intuition for authentic, documentary images that capture the essence of couples and their guests.

In other words, clients hire me for perspective and trust.

My perspective -- the qualities I search for most when I work -- is firmly rooted in family, empathy, hospitality, and joy, and I am routinely told by families and planners alike that I particularly capture emotion and energy at weddings in a unique way. Below are selected highlights from my portfolio, along with more complete galleries showcasing a variety of wedding styles and settings.

" Your sweet and gentle way touched me this past weekend. …As I watched you, it kept me focused on what I should be noticing, and I think it kept me more present."

"We are blown away by your photos and the slideshow. You truly captured the "spirit" of the day and evening. We took great care to select our team of vendors but were most of all grateful for you"
