You deserve to be the guest of honor, not the director.

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you finally stop worrying about the schedule and start noticing the people around you. You deserve to be fully present in those moments, soaking in the calm and trusting that the real, unscripted story of your day is being handled with care.

A steady hand for the heavy lifting

When decisions feel heavy or the day begins to move at high speed, you shouldn't have to be the one holding the map. You need a partner who brings structure and clarity to the flow. This allows you to let go of the "how" and sink back into the "why."

The logic behind the lens

By day, I work in project management and client support for a software platform. It’s a 9-5 that has essentially trained me to be a professional problem solver. While you’re enjoying the day, I’m naturally "debugging" the timeline and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. You get the peace of mind that comes with a project manager’s brain, wrapped in a photographer's creative heart.

Honest storytelling and the "in-between"

Whether you are celebrating in Maryland, Northern Virginia, D.C., or Pennsylvania, my approach is built on creating an experience that feels effortless for you. I’m drawn to the moments that happen when you think no one is looking: the breath before the aisle, the quiet hand squeeze, or the laugh that comes out of nowhere.

These fleeting moments become your visual legacy. My goal isn’t just to document what happened, but to preserve exactly how it felt. Portraits should feel like a breath of fresh air rather than a series of forced poses, giving you the space to be unmistakably you.

An aesthetic that stands the test of time

The way your day is edited is just as intentional as the way it’s captured. My approach is true-to-color and guided by the actual atmosphere of your celebration, whether that’s the glow of the warm sun, soft shade, or a candlelit reception.

I use black and white to pull the focus toward emotion and connection in a way color sometimes can’t. Above all, my edits are meant to enhance rather than overpower, preserving what was already real and meaningful. Everything comes together in a final gallery that feels cohesive, elegant, and timeless.

Beyond the final gallery

Your wedding deserves more than just beautiful images. It deserves to be considered and supported from start to finish. When you prioritize intention over performance, you aren’t just hiring a photographer. You are gaining a partner who values your comfort and your connection as much as the final photos.

If you’re planning a celebration that prioritizes presence and ease, I’d be honored to help you navigate it.
