Experience your wedding day with someone who sincerely cares about focusing on how your wedding day feels. Creating an atmosphere to be your authentic self, because when you are fully present with each other, the photographs naturally become honest, emotional, and timeless.
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you want to remember? What emotions do you want captured? What moments?
While I thoughtfully build timelines to minimize stress on your wedding day and prioritize capturing images of all your people, my main focus is you two, leaving space for you to truly enjoy each other, your guests, and radiate the joy you feel.
The unique wedding experience I have crafted isn't about making it on time to the next photoshoot of the day. It's about leaving time for connection and the full enjoyment of your wedding day, together. Making sure you remember your wedding day, remembering the joy you felt when each image was taken.
I believe your wedding day should be experienced, not managed. I purposefully leave room for quiet exchanges, shared laughter, and time together that actually feels like yours. When you’re able to slow down and truly enjoy the day, the photographs reflect that sincerity and connection in a way nothing else can.

I offer 35mm film photography and Super 8 film as a way to preserve your day with even more depth and dimension. Film brings a softness and timelessness that can’t be replicated — it slows the process, honors imperfection, and captures moments exactly as they felt in real time.
Super 8 adds another layer documenting the emotional, in-between moments: quiet glances, joyful chaos on the dance floor, the way your people show up for you. It isn’t about recreating your day beat for beat — it’s about preserving how it felt.
Super 8 pairs seamlessly with your photography coverage, offering a nostalgic layer to your story and a tangible keepsake you can return to for years to come.
Together, these offerings ensure your story is documented thoughtfully and completely, blending artistry with presence so your memories feel as full and alive as the day itself.
I offer complimentary engagement sessions because connection matters long before the wedding day arrives. It gives us the chance to meet, talk, laugh, and create together, so you can get comfortable in front of the camera and feel truly at ease.
By the time your wedding day comes, I’m not a stranger with a camera — I’m a familiar presence you trust. That ease allows you to be fully yourselves, creating photographs that feel natural, emotional, and honestly reflective of your relationship.
I offer full day coverage and intimate elopement collections for couples in the Cincinnati and tri-state area. My collections are packed with value and content to fully capture your wedding day.
Further below I have my most loved wedding experience, but I make a custom collection for all my clients because I believe every wedding day deserves unique attention.
Let's see if your date is available.
Fill out my contact form and tell me anything/everything you want me to know about your big day.
We will set up a zoom call and meet each-other virtually. We will talk about you two, and your relationship, and your plans so far.
I will walk through a mock timeline with you so you can get an idea of how the day will/should run. It is what makes a wedding day with me so set apart - the custom timeline curated to capture all the memories
Once you are on the books the real fun begins - planning your engagement session.
Even if you may have had one already - or gotten some photos done, I recommend we at least do a mini-session so we can meet in person and get you comfortable in-front of the camera and working with me.
It is also an awesome opportunity to capture images you will cherish forever. I love to create your vision, so we work closely together to plan the location and overall feeling for your engagement portraits.
Leading up to your wedding day I will be in touch on the timeline at least three months ahead of your date to make sure everything is lining up to ensure you have a blissful-stress free day.
We will set-up one final call about a month before the wedding to iron out formal shot lists, special traditions, or anything else I should know about your wedding.
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
On your wedding day, I will walk you through and manage the whole timeline for the day, get some gorgeous images of you, you two together, and your loved ones along the way. So you can just enjoy the day you have tirelessly planned, and rest in knowing at the end of the event, I will have captured all the beautiful moments you will hold dear for years to come.
A sneak peek of your images will shared privately within 48 hours for you to see what your wedding day looked like from an outside perspective, a glimpse of the day with your loved ones, and to hold off your excitement while I curate your gallery.
You can expect the full hand-edited-to-perfection gallery with 6-8 weeks of your event date.
