beautiful moments captured with intention

an elevated experience and memorable celebration

When you glance down the isle holding the arm of your brother, father or grandfather, get flutters in your stomach when you lock eyes with your significant other, scan an entire room filled with loved ones you hold dear who have come to celebrate you and your love -- these are the scenes that make a wedding day unforgettable, & the moments I want to capture for you.  

while you get swept away in the moment

let me stop time for you on your wedding day

We love design, but wedding days are so much more than fine decor. We will capture it all, from getting ready in your Great Grandmothers heirloom necklace, the florals you poured so much of your energy into dreaming up in your mind, to the tiny scallop details along the edge of the cocktail napkin; but our approach is the art of noticing. Noticing the kiss of the hand as dad walks you down the aisle, the tear shed during the father daughter dance by mom and the laughter breaking out during family speeches, we can't get enough of those moments that make your day. 

Photographed With Intention and a Personal Approach

our work

Our legacy and our story are more than what we leave behind. I want my story to be rooted in:

My love for my husband.
My childrens past & future.
The service of others.
