WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

I document Weddings, Elopements and Portrait sessions for clients all over the world, and provide support throughout the planning process. 

I am based out of New York City, the rolling hills of Italy, and the cloudier -but still mildly charming- Cincinnati, Ohio. :) 

If you're planning a far flung wedding or engagement session in a dreamy destination, I create custom photography packages based on your unique vision.  

SHOULD WE DO AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

I consider Engagement Sessions one of the most essential parts in creating natural beautiful portraits on your Wedding Day!  Consider it a practice round that allows you to slow down, get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.

WE'RE AWKWARD IN
PHOTOS CAN YOU HELP?

Creating spaces where couples feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera is my specialty.  Between our chats and the Engagement Session, by the time your wedding or session rolls around, we're already friends.  Don't worry about a thing.  It's my job to create prompts and create a space where you're free to be you. All you need to do is show up.  I'll handle the rest. *plot twist half way through your shoot you'll realize you're rockin' Beyonce level confidence.

So just know the Beyonce equivalent on camera confidence will come, even if you don't feel it right now.

WHAT DOES YOUR PROCESS LOOK LIKE?

My core values are connection, honesty, curiosity and creativity.

I ask a lot of questions before you even step in front of the camera, because your unique story and season will influence how I capture it.

When I show up at a wedding or at a session, I use  prompts and activities to weave the most important pieces of your story into photographs that go below the surface.

My goal is that you feel seen and free to be you, because that's when the magic happens.

In one word?
Trust.
Creating magical photographs is a collaboration, between me and you. You trust me to not only notice the things you hold closest to your heart, but also to draw them out and paint them into pictures you'll treasure forever. 

Camera wise, I shoot both film and digital!
Film allows for a thoughtful, romantic
approach and Digital allows for the fast paced magical
movement that sets your heart on fire.

DO YOU SHOOT FILM?
AND HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?

Yes! I'm a hybrid photographer and on wedding days I shoot both medium format film and digital photographs.  Film photography allows for a thoughtful, romantic approach and Digital allows me to capture fast paced movement full of feeling.

The amount of images delivered varies based on collection, but I average about 75-100 edited images per hour of shooting!  I know how important these images are to you, so if I think there's even a chance you'll love an image, I include it in your gallery!  It's what I'd want if it were my own wedding or session!

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT?

Select outfits you feel great in! Confidence is key. Neutrals and solid colors are always a win and blend beautifully in photos.

Try to avoid stripes, plaids, and any small patterns (they can cause chromatic aberration in camera, and appear distracting and unflattering)!

If you need assistance deciding, I'm here and happy to help! 

Each wedding day and story is unique and receives a custom proposal following our consultation call.

Whether you're considering rehearsal dinner coverage, welcome or after party coverage, a bridal session, or want family portraits taken a few days prior to your destination wedding, I first understand your story and dream day before putting together a wedding collection that captures every part of the best day of your life.
