NICE TO MEET YA!
I’m a Kansas City-based photographer using both analog and digital mediums. With formal training in fine art photography, my work is defined by humor, light, and tenderness. I blend a photojournalistic approach with editorial photography for those who want to slow down, and witness their wedding day.
These are once in a lifetime moments where you center your love and share it with the people you care for most. A day worth remembering in its entirety. When I think of the 150+ weddings that I have photographed over the last 9 years, I think of all the love I have witnessed and couples I have been lucky to document.
What a gift it has been, becoming so intimately acquainted with joy.
I bring all of myself to every wedding day. I hope you’ll bring all of yourself too, because that’s where the good stuff lives.
SO WHAT KEEPS YOU IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY?
Just as you’ve invested in the people who matter most to you, I invest in those I photograph. I care deeply about how you're feeling. Not only because it influences the images we create, but because it shapes how you’ll remember this time in your life. It’s about more than just smiles. It’s about the real moments, the quiet emotions, the candid truths. It is not about the photographs. It is about actually experiencing this moment in your life. I simply have the honor to witness it.
“Midwife. Funeral director. Wedding photographer. You meet them once on a delicate day. They quickly slip into the inner circle of a family to perform their role during this rite of passage, and then they are gone.”
- John Dolan
Genuine connection with my couples is the goal. Cultivating an immersive environment where moments unfold naturally, allowing me to capture them as they happen. To do this, I intentionally fade into the day, becoming an observer and friend. Building trust with my clients is my top priority, and I want them to feel seen and understood. We can giggle like friends or shed some tears. You lead, I listen. My approach is slow, couple focused, and intentional. I’m for the folks who want presence, more than the photos.
Your wedding isn’t about the photos, it’s about you getting married.
I believe ALL love is welcome here. You and your loved ones will find a safe place to land.
I am honored to work with all people regardless of gender, sexual orientation/identity, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, or economic background.
I believe a wedding can be whatever you say it is, no traditions needed.
Discrimination of any kind is unacceptable in my business and goes against my core values as a person and business owner.
I believe no wedding, elopement, union, or ceremony must look a certain way to hold value.
Integrity, humor, service, high-quality work, kindness, hope, & creativity are the values I look to as a guiding light in my business.
I encourage my couples to embrace their true selves. Whether that’s silly, contemplative, joyous, or even a little cranky, because photographs mean the most when they are telling the truth.
I invest wholeheartedly in the people I photograph, offering support before, during, and after each session, wedding, or elopement.
My work is a reflection of that dedication. I craft images that speak to the heart of each couple’s unique story.
Your wedding day isn’t a performance —it’s a moment that holds so much more than just the photos. I want to help you experience a day that allows you to be fully present and open, something I especially love about smaller gatherings.
My goal is for you to be so immersed in the moment that you forget I’m there, capturing it. As an analog photographer, I take my time, and relish the process. Film encourages me to step back and let the couple in front of me take the lead.
My couples know I’m for them, and will protect their big moments. They know how personally I take this work. Each of them are a gift to me. Their photos are like a love letter. In doing this work, I want to make postcards of your love, sending off to the folks you care most about saying, “We were here, and we are so in love.”
