I'm an old soul who found the love of my life, a dude who has a young heart and balances me out and makes me laugh every day. Because of our story, I want to tell your story. I’m a lover of adventure, a dreamer, an artist, and - full disclosure - slightly addicted to wedding cake.

My goal is not only to take photos that will be cherished for years to come, but to capture your spirit, your true and authentic self surrounded by those who matter to you, to make tangible the moments that are unforgettable in the best way I know how: with my camera. I believe we each shine bright from the inside, and that's what inspires my work. I want you to have genuine, beautiful, moving photos to look back on, ones that honor your love story. If that’s super important to you, I might be your gal!

To me, it's not JUST about getting great photos: it's about getting to know you, honoring your individual story, and being part of your team. I love finding amazing opportunities in ordinary settings and scenery and bringing out the most comfortable confident side of you. I appreciate the clients who appreciate the details. I shoot weddings to include all of the things you worked so hard to pull together, and the things you’ll probably otherwise forget. I strive to capture candid moments throughout the day, the colors and textures that build the look and feel of your space, and the little pieces and parts woven together to make it YOUR day. I think it's important you find a photographer whose work you LOVE - but, I believe it’s just as important you find someone who will bring out the best of who you are in your photos and is able to authentically capture the love you have for each other. After all, your wedding day is meant to be an amazing fun-filled celebration and you probably want a photographer who is all about that!

Your wedding day is important; you probably wouldn't still be reading this if it wasn't. Your wedding photos are important; surrounded by friends and family and your forever person, there are a ton of special moments I’ll capture for you, creating photos that, years down the road, will bring you right back to that day. So why choose me? Because I work hard to respect and honor that. As your photographer on your wedding day, you are my number one priority - from the moment we book, I'm on your team and I have your back. I promise I'll do my best not only to ensure you get beautiful pictures, but also to make sure your day is a ton of fun.

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Client Testimonial

This is the spot to share a short client quote. The formatting of this section looks best with only a few sentences, but feel free to include a link to full reviews.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!

Vendor Gallery

Upload and select the images to be shown in your gallery. To add images, click the "Add to Gallery" button. After selecting your images, you will be able to drag and drop them to change the order. To delete an image, hover and click the X in the top right corner of the image. Your gallery is limited to 30 images. Images must be smaller than 4 MB. Pro-tip: When selecting gallery images, do NOT select your logo or headshot.
