Photo & Video · Richmond, VA

I'm a LGBTQ documentary photographer who's evolved to blend that candid approach with moments of editorial portraiture. There are three main things that make my business a bit different; from the jump, I guide you through a style consultation to nail down what you're envisioning when you think "wedding photography" and use that to inform how to approach your celebration; I work efficiently and aim to only pull a couple for 15-30 minutes at a time throughout the day, so you spend most of your wedding enjoying the moment & not at a photoshoot; my average turnaround time on galleries is 4-6 weeks, and I build all my edits from the ground up, based on your tastes, instead of slapping the same preset on everything I do (that's why my photo look so different). At the end of the day, it's about bringing some concierge energy to wedding photography. I want you and your guests to feel at ease in front of my camera at your wedding and personally cared for in the service that comes before + after the big day. It's a huge amount of trust (and money!) to give a stranger, so I hold myself to a high standard! With that in mind, if you want to ask any questions of my past clients, I'm always happy to connect you - I'm lucky that I have past clients who have eagerly said yes to talking about their experience with prospective ones.

Owner/Lead Camera

Hey! I got started in the wedding industry through catering Boston weddings in college. I realized pretty quickly that I enjoy the hustle & flow of the behind-the-scenes work that brings a wedding day together. When COVID hit, I took on small, cautious backyard weddings with my photography background as a way to support my masters degree. Next thing you know, I've been working as a wedding photographer & videographer for 6 years (with 3 of those being full time). I was based out of Richmond, Virginia for the past 6 years, but now you can find me in Maine - my lovely spouse started law school in Portland in September of '26. We're both familiar with New England, but excited to call it home for at least the next three years while they're in school!
