Love is Love is Love! All are welcome in front of my camera no matter their sexual orientation, race, or religion.

A fierce advocate for inclusivity and equal rights, I’m a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and have had the honor to photograph several engagement sessions and wedding ceremonies of couples of all sexes and genders in Orlando and throughout Central Florida. We’ll work together to ensure that you have the joyful celebration of your love that you deserve.

Let’s work together to create images that capture your love story and you’ll treasure for generations to come.   

I believe in happy endings. I believe that love is love. I believe in the moment when you first see your partner in their wedding attire. I believe in cake ALWAYS. 

Nothing makes me happier than working with fun and unique couples (that’s you!) and capturing the emotional moments and delicious details that tell the story of your wedding!

Weddings are emotion-filled days and I’m there not only to capture your amazing memories, but to help with all the little things:

Bustling your wedding dress, negotiating with an in-need-of-a-nap flower girl to get her to smile for photos, keeping that one stress creating relative (you know the one!) at bay while you’re getting dressed, basically anything you need to keep your day stress free!   

I don’t just take photos. I turn moments into memories.

And it all starts by making you feel comfortable in front of the camera because that’s where your magic happens. That’s where your story as a couple unfolds as you join together on this journey we call life. My goal is to capture these raw, heartfelt moments — from adoring looks to shared laughter — in the most authentic, natural way possible amid the true-to-life, vibrant colors of a place that invigorates your love. Think classic, not corny. Timeless but on trend. Sweet, not cheesy. In me, you’ll find a seasoned photographer expertly skilled in providing the perfect blend of guidance and observation as we create the heirlooms of the day you said yes or I do.

I’ll tell every “dad joke” I know if it gets you to laugh naturally and look awesome in your pics.

It's kind of a well-kept secret that I'm a crier. On the outside, I love to crack jokes and do goofy things to get you to smile for photos, but I'm like a toasted marshmallow: crunchy on the outside and warm and mushy on the inside. I cried when a bride's grandpa sang to the couple at their reception. Heck, just this morning I cried tears of joy at a stranger's Disney-themed gender reveal on Facebook.

And let me just tell you, me sobbing at my desk earned some strange looks from my officemate — a cranky old ginger kitty named Bumper. Anyway…those are the kind of memories I want to to preserve for you through my photography.
