In February 2024, I married the love of my life on the rainiest day in Joshua Tree, surrounded by 35 of our closest people in one of our favorite places on earth. Our photographer was talented. But the moments that mattered most to us slipped right by, because they never took the time to actually know us. When our gallery came back, the joy we expected just wasn't there.
I never want you to feel that.
So before I ever pick up my camera, I want to know you two. What matters, who matters, what you absolutely cannot miss. That way when your day is actually happening, I'm not just taking photos. I'm telling your story, the way only someone who actually gets you can.
If you've made it here, you're probably deep in the rabbit hole of finding a wedding photographer who actually gets you. Someone who won't make you do awkward poses, who feels like a friend by the end of the night, and who hands you back a gallery that looks like you.
That's exactly what I'm here for.
I'm a Wilmington wedding photographer shooting digital and 35mm film, and I am genuinely obsessed with the real stuff. The quiet moment your person sees you for the first time. The chaos of the getting ready room that somehow always ends in happy tears. The way you look at each other when you think nobody's watching.
You don't need another beautiful wedding on Instagram. You need yours.
The journal is where I share real weddings, engagement sessions, and honest planning resources for couples who want to feel a little more prepared and a lot more excited. Wilmington venues, real stories, behind the scenes moments, and tips I actually wish someone had told me. Pull up a chair.
I shoot a mix of digital, 35mm film, and Polaroids at every single wedding because each one does something a little different. Digital makes sure nothing gets missed. Film adds that warmth and grain that makes a photo feel like a memory the second you see it. And Polaroids are just fun. Together they create something that feels real, timeless, and entirely yours.
