Romance doesn’t come from the outfit alone. It comes from the way you reach for each other without thinking. The way you linger a little longer.

I photograph weddings at the intersection of editorial storytelling and real emotion – for couples who value aesthetics as much as connection.

Based in Saint Augustine, Florida, I'm endlessly inspired by golden light, historic streets, vintage fashion, late-night conversations, and a damn good playlist. My work is intentional, elevated, and entirely your own – imagery that feels alive long after the day is over. 

When I'm not behind the lens, I'm with my husband and our two girls – slow mornings, kitchen dance parties, and the quiet reminder that love, in all its forms, deserves to be documented beautifully.
