This website is where I share my creativity and zest for the celebration of love and life. I believe photographs are a visual story—capturing moments that speak volumes without uttering a single word and creating the art of your story with images you can feel.

My world revolves around my family and faith. Most days look like spending time with my family and homemaking. Other days are spent creating epic wedding experiences for couples that don't want to settle for traditional!

I love to make the most of the present. I have a passion for life, and an eye for noticing small details and moments. I DIG being a cheerleader for people who crave to be AUTHENTIC TO THEMSELVES!!!

In the end, it's about the moments we create. Choose to seize every opportunity, embrace every adventure, and savor every experience. Let your life be a symphony of laughter, love, and fulfillment. Because when the final curtain falls, all that is left is the legacy of memories we've created, the echoes of our joyous laughter, and the warmth of the connections we've shared.

With every photo I capture, I aim to weave the narrative of your story with authenticity and passion. Like my love for reading a Nicholas Sparks novel on a chilly October morning, I pour that same dedication into crafting unforgettable elopement and micro wedding experiences.

You may be wondering if eloping or having a smaller and more intimate wedding is the right choice for you. Having 10+ years in the wedding industry, I know everything that goes on behind the scenes. You'd think traditional weddings are simple but oh boy do they take a toll on brides and grooms... These are the most common themes I've seen and some that I experienced-

- All weddings had a production like feel, and I could sense how this affected couples from truly enjoying their day.

- Couples being stressed and overwhelmed from pressure to make sure their relatives and guests have a good time and are looked down on when wanting to prioritize each other.

- Strict timelines to make sure you're catering to your guests and being on time for them.

- Couples only getting golden hour (sunset) portraits to spend some quality time together that only lasts mere minutes before having to return to keep entertaining guests.

- The wedding day passing by in a blur, the couples tied the knot... but they regret the potential their wedding day could have been.

If you're ready to break free from the confines of tradition and create a celebration as unique as your story, I'm here to make it happen. Together, let's make the best of what life has to offer. Reach out today, and let's embark on this adventure together!!!!
