That perfect balance between guided and that’s where I work best.
I’ll guide you just enough to help you feel confident, then step back and let things happen.
Because that’s when the real moments show up —and the real you takes center stage.

PENNSYLVANIA DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
My first career wasn’t behind a camera—it was in a classroom. That’s where I learned to notice the little things, stay steady under pressure, and hold space for people to be themselves. Turns out, it was the perfect preparation for weddings.
Over the past decade, as a documentary wedding photographer, I’ve come to see weddings not just as events, but as living stories. I’m drawn to the gestures and glances that might go unnoticed, but say everything. So you can be sure I’ll document the real emotions of your day along with the people who made it yours.

How I show up matters just as much as what I create.
This is why my approach is simple:
STAY PRESENT, NOTICE WHAT MATTERS, & TURN IT INTO SOMETHING LASTING
with honesty, creativity, and quality you can trust

Real Connection
Real Moments
I’ll show up as my genuine self, so you can feel completely at ease being yours. Because when you’re relaxed, the good stuff happens. From the start, I’ll make it clear: This isn’t a photoshoot—it’s a collaborative experience where I'll capture your story naturally, without awkward poses or forced smiles. Just real connection and honest moments, captured in a way that feels like you.
Take a look at the values that guide me every time I pick up my camera.
Storytelling You
Can
Creativity doesn’t always come from perfect edits or perfectly planned moments—it comes from sensing what’s real. This is why I’ll watch closely for the subtle, beautiful in-between moments. Then I’ll let my instinct take over—following light, movement, and emotion. The result will be timeless imagery with heart and soul and memories you can step back into.
CREATIVITY

Storytelling You
Can
To me, what matters most is that you feel genuinely cared for—through thoughtful communication, calm guidance, and a process that feels easy from start to finish. That same intention goes into every image I create: each one crafted not just to look beautiful now, but to mean something for years to come. Because these aren’t just photos for today—they’re heirlooms in the making. Honest, artful, and built to stand the test of time in both heart and craft.

A FEW fun FACTS ABOUT ME
and why they actually matter to you
FAMILY FIRST
I live in Lancaster with my husband, Ryan, and our three kids—so I’m basically a pro at staying calm while everything around me is delightfully chaotic. On your wedding day? Same deal. I’ve got you covered.
JOY ALWAYS
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me soaking up good conversation over a cocktail, with great music and even better company—reminding me that joy lives in connection. And that’s exactly what I strive to capture for you.
DETAILS MATTER
I’m a self-proclaimed crossword puzzle nerd—always curious and detail-obsessed, which means I notice the subtle stuff that others miss. Your wedding day won’t be any different.
