The stories I tell. . .
Investing in the documentation of the experiences that shape your heart and enrich your life.
Service 01.
Weddings + Elopements
Weddings are a collection of fleeting moments—the tearful smiles exchanged across the room, the deep breath before walking down the aisle, the blur of movement as the dance floor comes alive. My style is rooted in guided documentary and editorial photography, capturing your day with movement, laughter, and artistically crafted narratives. Before the wedding, I’m there to share in your excitement, gush over your inspiration, and offer insights from my experience in the wedding world. When the day unfolds, I step in as both an observer and a storyteller—a quiet presence when you need reassurance, a witness to the emotions that fill the room, and a seamless part of the celebration, preserving the uninhibited joy on the dance floor. These are more than just photos; they are your memories—captured in a way that brings you back to the love, the movement, and the magic of it all.

Service 02.
Engagements + Couples
Your love isn’t just something to be seen—it’s something to be felt. The way your hands find each other instinctively, the laughter spilling out between glances, the quiet comfort of simply being together. With a focus on storytelling, I encourage playfulness, spontaneity, and movement, creating a space where moments unfold naturally rather than being forced. Inspired by film, my images carry a heightened romance, a touch of nostalgia, warmth, and grain—preserving the feeling of now in a way that lingers long after.
Starting at $1,000
Service 03.
Families
These sessions are pure documentary—messy, real, and full of life. In other words, a little bit of chaos. If you’re looking for perfectly posed portraits with everyone lined up and smiling at the camera, I might not be your photographer. But if you want a session where your kids can run wild, laughter spills into the air, and moments unfold naturally—where your family is simply being together, without the pressure of perfection—then let’s make some magic.
Starting at $500
Service 04.
Portraits + Lifestyle
Portraits are more than just images—they are glimpses into who you are, capturing the quiet depth, unfiltered joy, and everything in between. I focus on movement, emotion, and the details that make you you, creating a space where you can simply exist, without stiff posing or forced moments. Let’s craft something honest, artful, and entirely yours.
Starting at $800

Frequently Asked Questions
While I'm based in Lewes, Delaware, I'm always excited to travel and capture new stories. If you have a particular location in mind for your session, I’d love to hear about it! We can chat about it on our call!
Absolutely! If you have a vision that doesn't quite fit into my collections or if your ideas go beyond the usual, I’d love to hear from you! These offerings are just guidelines meant to inform you, not to confine you. Together, we can design a package that’s perfectly tailored to you and your day.
As a photographer, loving and serving my couples, their friends, and their families are important to me. When I photograph the rehearsal dinner, I gain the wonderful opportunity to meet your family and closest friends beforehand. This initial connection is invaluable; it allows me to understand the dynamics and relationships that are integral to your story. By the time your wedding day arrives, I am not just a stranger with a camera—I am already woven into the fabric of your celebration. I can greet everyone with warmth and familiarity, making the atmosphere feel even more intimate.
We’ll be walking, running, exploring, and embracing playfulness and joy. I’ll guide you with prompts, all while creating a space for candid and natural moments to unfold. Drawing inspiration from films, my images have a heightened romance and cinematic flair, warmth, grain and motion.
An engagement session is a wonderful way for us to get to know each other and for you to feel at ease in front of the camera. It’s a chance to capture your love story while you explore my style, giving you a sense of what it’ll be like to work together on your wedding day. I highly recommend it!
While I’m confident in my ability to shoot weddings solo, having a second photographer is recommended when couples are getting ready in different places. If the timeline doesn’t allow me to be with both of you, a second photographer can step in to capture those moments. They also provide different angles and perspectives, capturing all the joy and love from multiple viewpoints. We can talk about this option more on our consultation call.
Wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable and true to yourself! Whether you lean towards earth tones and neutrals or prefer an eclectic and funky style, it’s all about expressing who you are. If you're feeling a bit unsure about outfits, just ask me for my Pinterest board filled with inspiration! Keep in mind that our sessions will involve a lot of movement—running, playing, and plenty of close contact (hello, PDA!). So as you plan, consider outfits that allow for all that fun and spontaneity!

From The Journal
Fig 12
Where the horizon kisses the sea,
Two souls entwine, wild and free.
Sunlight dances on the shimmering shore,
As whispers of love weave through the roar.
Shells scatter secrets beneath their feet,
While waves compose a symphony sweet.
In the salty breeze, vows gently soar,
A coastal embrace, forevermore.
The sky blazes orange, a canvas divine,
As hearts sync to the rhythm of time.
In this fleeting moment, they find their way,
A timeless tale, washed in ocean’s spray
