Your wedding or elopement is more than a photo shoot—it's one of the most meaningful days of your life. My role is to create a calm, supportive experience where you can be fully present with each other, knowing every moment is being thoughtfully documented. While we'll absolutely create beautiful portraits together (and have a lot of fun doing it!), I also intentionally build quiet moments into the day where you can simply pause, soak it all in, and experience your wedding as it unfolds. Those are often the moments that become the most treasured memories.

As an Alaska-based travel photographer, filmmaker, and commercial drone pilot, I document weddings, elopements, births, and families in a timeless, true-tone, film-inspired style. Whether I'm photographing from the ground, the air, or on film, my approach is always rooted in authenticity, connection, and storytelling rather than forced poses or rushed timelines.

You'll never have to wonder what to do or feel like you're performing for the camera. I'll gently guide you when needed, step back when the moments speak for themselves, and create space for genuine emotion to unfold naturally. My goal is for you to leave your wedding not remembering hours spent taking photos, but remembering how deeply you experienced the day together.

My work has been recognized with a 2024 Alaska Magazine award and a 2025 Elopement Legend Award, but the greatest compliment I receive is when couples tell me they felt completely at ease and forgot there was even a camera in the room.

Outside of weddings, I'm a mom of two, a certified DONA Birth Doula, and a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. Those experiences have shaped how I approach every story—with patience, empathy, and deep respect for life's most significant moments. I believe every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and cared for, and I'm honored to document love stories throughout Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and wherever your adventure leads.
