As for style, I am a fine art wedding photographer rooted in intention— artfully preserving organic moments. My approach lives at the intersection of artful direction and careful observation. With over a decade of experience, I bring a steady, grounded presence and a deep appreciation for honest, layered storytelling. I work intentionally, leaving room for emotion to unfold naturally. My process isn’t about chasing perfection; it’s about preserving what’s real and enduring. Being trusted with your story is an honor I hold with genuine care and respect. Through light, connection, and composition, I create images that feel lived-in, poetic, and unmistakably yours.
