Artist Statement (1.2)

Capturing the light sent from those that couldn’t be there

An approach as carefully crafted as your vows

As once in a lifetime as all your favorite people in the same place at the same time

Photos that sip like celebrating with that bottle of vintage, sound like the first time you heard her laugh, echo like stories around the table

Your wedding, photographed with space to breath

So that you can remember the moments that left you breathless

Gentle, quiet, still, peaceful, soothing 

All the noise hushed

Photography with a deeper reverence towards life, love, and weddings 

Proven trusted by couples

{poets, artists, film directors, florists, high school sweethearts}


And by their loved ones

{moms, planners, maids of honor, shy flower girls and eccentric uncles alike}.
