My galleries, my journals, my mess.

From travel to weddings to analog documentation, there's much to dig through.

Brendan’s smile matched our glowing sun as he watched his bride glide onto the scene. They shared the sweetest vows and left everyone hiding their tears behind paper fans. Their nephews and nieces continuously filled the space with bubbles from their bubble guns, pure magic amongst an already magical afternoon.

While engagement photos might feel like a must-have-high-stakes-situation, my stance is a bit more casual. Engagement photos should just be for the hell of it. We’re here to have fun, get to know me as your photographer, and feel comfortable in front of the camera. It’s an opportunity to dress-up or dress-down for a fun and creative afternoon with your love.

Naturally for a gal as stunning as Molly, she’d be matched with an equally stunning partner. Joseph is a charming guy who oozes warmth and style. I loved getting to know them both throughout their wedding planning and witnessing their partnership throughout the day. Witnessing patient and earnest love stories is what makes my job so goddamn cool.

The trade-off, however, is less built-in guidance and support from coordinators or vendors. After capturing a handful of sweet small weddings from folk’s yards, I’ve noticed a few patterns or afterthoughts.

The post-covid wedding world has opened couples up to more customization. We’ve slowly but surely shaken off the necessity for a traditional checklist.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I utilize film to capture the day in smaller, more intentional snippets; as if the digital is my coverage and my prep for the true moment I’m trying to capture.

I could spend days on end with these two folks and their infectious energy. I loved capturing every detail, every in-between moment, and every theatrical event woven into the wedding.

One of my favorite details was their effort to reinvent the traditions in a way that worked for them. Rosie’s folks were titled “Goblins of Honor” rather than a “Bridal Party” and their wedding day was filled with personal details that spoke to their theatrical background: a poem performed by Rosie’s mom at the ceremony and a joyous choreographed routine to get the dance floor started.

We were lucky ducks who had one heck of a sunset, and Ari had the time of her life running up and down the beach whilst I snapped away. Mom has incredible style, and I loved the matching tops she and miss toddler had – don’t worry Dad was lookin spiffy too. Those cross-stitch jeans are some of my fave.

Since she’ll be helping people with their own home renos it was important to us that we captured her in as many corners of her self-designed home as possible. Her house is glorious. You find yourself staring at one nook for far too long, studying every detail and filling with envy over your own lack of originality.
