Worth Remembering

an experience

Photography is more than images—it’s a feeling, a memory, a way of holding on to what matters. My approach is rooted in presence, trust, and an eye for honest beauty. Each collection is crafted with intention, so that what we create together not only reflects this season of life, but elevates it into something lasting.

Timeless, emotive, and quietly refined—crafted just for you.

Your story deserves more than a photoshoot. It deserves to be seen—clearly, softly, truthfully.

 I fell in love with intimate weddings the day I lived one myself. When my husband and I made a promise to love each other for the rest of our lives we were surrounded only by our closest family, I realized how powerful it is to celebrate love in its purest form — unhurried, intentional, and intimate. Now, I pour that same heart into every story I capture. With an approach rooted in natural light and refined simplicity, I create timeless imagery filled with warmth, authenticity, and quiet elegance. Whether it’s a serene courthouse ceremony or a sunset beach elopement, I’m there to preserve your love story as it truly felt — beautifully and honestly.

Guest Count: Typically 10–100 guests, bringing together only your closest family and friends.

Location: Can take place at a private estate, charming venue, vineyard, garden, or even your own backyard.

Focus: Prioritizes connection, intentional details, and meaningful moments over large-scale production.

Vibe: Warm, elegant, and personal — filled with laughter, emotion, and genuine storytelling.

For Couples Who: Want a celebration that feels authentic, heartfelt, and truly reflective of who they are.

Working Together

back

Intimate weddings are for the couples who want to celebrate their love surrounded only by those who truly matter — where every guest has a story, and every moment feels intentional.

Connection

01

back

Intimate weddings are for the couples who dream of a slower, more meaningful day — one filled with deep connection, heartfelt vows, and laughter shared over a long dinner table instead of a crowded dance floor

I’m here for the couples who crave connection, cherish intimacy, and aren’t afraid to show their hearts fully.

Core values

Think in layers, movement, and tone. Editorial sessions are best styled with minimal palettes, rich textures, and silhouettes that photograph well in natural light. A refined wardrobe doesn’t need to be elaborate—it just needs to feel like you, elevated.


What should be worn for a session?

Yes—often and happily.  I love photographing in both familiar and foreign spaces.


Do you travel?

I typically book 3–6 months in advance for portraits, and 8–12 months for weddings. However, I always welcome last-minute magic when possible.


How far in advance should we book?
