PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIVED IN.
Your wedding day is not only an accurate picture of you, but also the love that surrounds you.
It’s the tight squeeze of your grandma’s hand between family photos; your flower girl walking down the aisle and never tossing a single petal, or your best friend holding up your dress because July in Kansas City is just too damn hot.
If you want curiosity, openness, and someone who allows you to be present with your guests, instead of making everything picture perfect, you’re in the right place.
Kansas City and Destination Wedding Photography and Super 8 Films
Photo coverage starts at $6,000 and most clients average from $7,500-$8,000 for 2 photographers, film photography, super 8 video, and multi-day coverage.
Travel fees and packages are custom to each client
Discover the value of completely being yourself. You want emotion and memory captured. You’re looking for artistic storytelling with a personal touch. You are searching for sentiment-driven imagery and a slow approach in a world of content.
For couples seeking an analog film and digital wedding photographer, my work is a reflection of you—where every frame feels like your cherished memories.
You are drawn to rich textures, soft grain, and attention to light. When you look through your wedding photos you are hoping for an intimate experience that transports you back to the essence of your day. The photos are about more than just documentation; it’s storytelling with soul. You find yourselves looking for a photographer that can define your day as uniquely yours.
Personalized Film and Digital Wedding Photography
IF IT ISN’T INTENTIONAL, WHY DO IT?
I value capturing weddings on film, digital, and Super 8 with poetic sensibility; blending documentary style storytelling with gentle guidance that feels effortless, silly, and personal.
Each frame is rich with texture, light, and movement, evoking a sense of memory. We will lean into the beauty of 35mm and medium format film— embracing imperfections, grain, and blur to create imagery that feels alive, immersive, and full of meaning.
We will work to preserve the heart of your event, the energy of a celebration, and the quiet, intimate moments that reflect you and your loved ones.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Absolutely. I strive to be an inclusive and mindful human personally and professionally. You can expect me to strongly advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. Your love has a space here and deserves to be celebrated.
-
My goal is to be a warm place to land. I believe everyone is worthy of care, acceptance, and love. I am honored to work with all people regardless of gender, sexual orientation/identity, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, or economic background. Discrimination of any kind is unacceptable in my business and goes against my core values as a person and business owner.
-
During the wedding day, I am photographing digital images on a dual card slot camera, so the files are saved in two places. As soon as I get home from a wedding, I am backing up your digital images on 2 hard drives, and into the cloud they go. Film is handled with so much care and caution. I package the film to send it to Indie Film Lab or Richard’s Lab with an AirTag to track it the whole way to the developer. Once the scans are returned they get backed up in the same places as your digital images.
-
I started my film journey in undergrad at KU. I learned both 35mm and medium format, but it wasn’t until 2020 that I began adding film into my wedding packages. Since then I have grown tenfold and wouldn’t change a thing.
-
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 3-4 weeks for couples, families, branding, and lifestyle sessions. Wedding collections can be expected within 8-10 weeks of your wedding date. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
-
First thing is first, head to the contact page to fill out an inquiry form. I can't wait to hear what you have been planning. You should hear back from me about scheduling a zoom call to meet within 48 hours.

100%. I will travel wherever your wedding day takes me. I have photographed couples in Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wyoming, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arizona, Hawaii, Michigan, Utah, and Wisconsin! Let’s keep the list growing.
-
I develop and scan my work via Indie Film Lab or Richard’s Photo Lab. I trust them to offer the highest quality. I have used these labs for the last 5 years, and feel completely confident in their professional quality and love for film.
-
Film photography is a time honored tradition with a rich history. I love film because it was my introduction to being an artist. To me, the surprise, joy, and awe, that client’s experience when viewing their images is so refreshing, fun, and artistically fulfilling for me. These one of a kind images are what keep me in the wedding industry.
-
Each of my packages has an estimated number of rolls ranging anywhere between 7-25. For couple and lifestyle sessions the number of rolls range from 2-4. There is a film only option as well!
-
I photograph using both digital and film mediums. Each package in a wedding collection will give you the estimated amount of film I will use alongside my traditional use of digital photography. Ask to see a gallery to understand more about how I switch between mediums.
-
Each wedding day is different, custom wedding packages are available to accommodate for your unique event. Be sure to include you are wanting a custom package in your inquiry form.

Present, beautifully imperfect, and full of heart.
You can show up exactly as you are. There’s very little joy in chasing perfection or stressing over every detail. The real goodness that comes out of making photographs, is capturing love and affection unique to each person. No interaction is too small. The hug from your grandparents, the glance from your partner, and the laughter of your guests are equally important. The depth you seek is already present, just as you are.
