The quiet after “I do” is often where the most tender moments unfold 🤍

There’s a certain glow that lingers just after the vows are spoken - it's a combination of relief, joy, and a love that feels brand new all over again.

These are the moments I love most, the ones unposed, unrushed, and true to the story unfolding between two people.

Because long after the celebration ends, it’s these fleeting, quiet portraits that remind you what it felt like to start your forever.

If your heart beats for photography that captures the in-between moments, let’s tell your story!

Your first dance isn’t just a moment, it’s a memory etched into forever ✨

The first dance is one of those moments where it feels almost like time holds its breath. There’s something sacred in those fleeting minutes - the music, the way you hold each other, the way everything else falls away.

That’s what I love most about photographing weddings: preserving that magic, the moments that feel as tender years later as they did that night.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding day filled with quiet, timeless beauty - I'd love to help you create one 🤍

Every element chosen with care.
Because the details aren’t just decor - they’re the first chapter of your story.

The textures. The florals. The nods to place and personality. This is how your day begins, long before the ceremony ever starts.

And for me, this part matters just as much.

Let’s document your day with depth and intention. Ready to create a wedding gallery that feels as meaningful as it looks?

I'd love to chat!

There’s a softness in this moment - part anticipation, part reflection. Before the dress is on, before the day begins in full,
there’s this quiet sense of becoming.

I believe these are the moments that matter,
not just how the day looked, but how it felt.

This is your story.
Let’s tell it with care, from the first touch of satin to the last light of day.

Because some guests don’t need an invitation - they just belong!

There’s something special about including your dog in the day, and if you're asking my opinion, YES, you should always include them!

Not just for the photos, but for the comfort, the familiarity, the grounding presence they bring to every part of our lives.

It’s not about perfect poses. It’s about what feels like home.

Your story includes them. Your photos should too1

The wind was soft. The light was gold. And the mountains as the witness.

Just the earth, the sky, and the vows that followed. There’s a kind of reverence that only nature can bring to your wedding day.

A sense that you're not just hosting a ceremony, but you’re being held by something much bigger than yourself.

If you're dreaming of a wedding that’s rooted in meaning and shaped by nature, I’d be honored to tell that story.

Unfiltered joy. Quiet curiosity. A presence that feels both lighthearted and grounding all at once.

They don’t know the timeline. They don’t worry about the dress staying clean. They just love being a part of your day!

And sometimes - those are the moments that linger the longest.

I want you to remember it all. The people, the feelings, the in-between. And I'm here to capture it all...

This is what it looks like when you feel completely at ease - when the moment is yours.

No pressure to pose. No rush to get to the next thing. Just space to be yourselves. Time to savor it all.

That’s what I want for you. Photographs that reflect who you are - not just how the day looked, but how it felt.

The laughter on the porch. The quiet confidence. The way joy finds its way into the light.

Let’s document it all!
In your way, in your time.

Before the celebration, there’s stillness. And in that stillness - so much anticipation of what's to come!

A pause. A breath. The weight of the day settling into her hands.

There’s a stillness in these moments that often get overlooked. But this is part of the story too - the softness before the celebration, the reflection before the rush.

Let’s hold space for that. Let’s document the beauty not just in the ceremony, but in the quiet becoming that happens before.

I would love to capture your important moments too!

A crown of blooms and a heart full of wonder.

There’s something sacred about the role of a flower girl. Not just in the petals or the procession, but in the way she sees it all - with wonder, with heart, with wide eyed grace.

A quiet pause between generations. A reminder that even the smallest hands carry part of the story.

Let’s document the moments that matter most - no matter how small.

A quiet kind of promise. Before the toasts, before the first look - there’s this.

A thousand small intentions wrapped up in the details most might overlook.

But love lives here, too - in the stillness, in the pause before the celebration, in the choices made with care and meaning.

This is where your story begins.
And I’m here to capture it, moment by moment.

I would love to capture all the small moment for you!

There’s something about the light right before sunset - the way it holds everything gently, the way it lingers.

As they walked into the rolling hills of , she turned back. Not for a pose. Not for perfection. Just for one last look before the day gave way to evening, before the quiet turned into celebration.

If you're drawn to honest images that reflect what the day felt like, I’d love to document your story.
