Your memories —
turned into art.
The photographs you see will make you look like you're in movie stills, full of real emotion
-
I am passionate about loving all people. I will never turn you away based on race, gender, ability, religion, or sexual orientation, and this goes for your wedding guests and family members too. No matter who you are and how your love looks, this is a safe place for you.
-
80% of a photographer’s job is how they make their subjects feel behind the camera. The best images come from moments of authenticity, and I will always create a space for you to emulate that. (I’m also pretty fun to hang with if I do say so myself!).
-
The photographs you see will make you look like you're in movie stills, full of real emotion. I’ll direct you in a way that feels natural, while also observing how you interact with your partner to capture those in-between moments in real-time.

When I got married in 2022, one of the biggest things I took away from it was how fast the day went by and how many small details I missed, like the bonfire where people chatted & made smores, or the welcome table full of framed photos of relatives and passed loved ones. I take that wisdom to every wedding I photograph now, making sure to document each and every fine detail that you’ve thoughtfully brought to life. I care about documenting your memories as if they were my own.
-
I have worked years to create my editing style to be both unique and timeless. My presets are custom made and directly inspired by my love of 35mm film. Warm tones and rich colour give my images a feeling of nostalgia. Plus, I promise to not ever make your skin look orange or your blue suit look black!

Did we wake up to a rainstorm on your session day? Although I’m always down for a romantic rainy sesh, I am more than happy to reschedule and wait for a day with some more ideal weather! (There is no rescheduling fee due to weather or sickness for my photo sessions).
-
The age old question: “When will I receive my photos?!” Aside from a sneak peek gallery of 20-50 highlights from your wedding or elopement (or 5-10 sneak peeks for any other photo session) sent within 48 hours, I’ll always aim for your wedding gallery to be delivered by 5 weeks, but sometimes up to 8 weeks during busy season. Photo session galleries are delivered within 3 weeks!
-
I deliver your photos in an aesthetically stunning, simple-to-navigate online gallery where you can easily share and download your images at full resolution or web-size. You can also choose to purchase high quality prints and other products through the gallery, from my partner photo labs! In exchange for me not gatekeeping, I’ll make a small profit from your purchases, so it’s really a win-win.
