You Deserve to Feel Present - and Look Incredible.

Most couples worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera — or worse, missing the moments they’ll never get back.

That’s why I guide you with calm, confident direction while staying behind the scenes — so you can relax, be fully present, and trust that every meaningful glance, tear, and laugh is being captured naturally.

For over 30 years, I’ve been quietly capturing the moments couples never want to forget — always with calm direction and timeless style. I know how to anticipate the moment before it happens — and help even the most camera-shy couples feel like themselves.

This isn’t about stiff poses or fake smiles. It’s about creating timeless, emotional images that feel real — because they are.

The Calm Behind the Camera

About Me — But Really, It’s About You

The most meaningful wedding photos never come from stiff poses.
They come from the quiet laugh you didn’t think anyone saw.
The look on your partner’s face during the vows.
The warmth of your people all around you.

I’ve been doing this for over 30 years — and I still get nervous before every wedding.
Not because I’m uncertain, but because I know how much it matters.

After photographing hundreds of weddings over the past few decades, I’ve learned something simple:
The best photos happen when you feel fully present.

That’s why I work calmly, behind the scenes — guiding when it helps, then stepping back when the real moments unfold. I’m always anticipating what’s next, so you never have to think about a thing.

My goal is simple: to help you relax, feel confident, and walk away with photos that feel like you — not a filtered version of someone else’s idea of perfect.

Most of my couples say the same thing:
We’re so glad we didn’t have to worry.”

Custom packages are available.

I don’t believe in stiff poses or trendy edits. The most meaningful photos happen when you’re fully present — the way your partner looks at you during the vows, the stillness just before you walk down the aisle, the quiet squeeze of your mom’s hand, or the way your friends erupt in laughter during toasts.

My approach is simple: guide when needed, step back when it matters most, and always stay one step ahead of the moment. You’ll get honest, beautiful images that feel timeless — and feel like you.
