“I'm a sucker for a love party! It’s a big fucking deal. Seeing my couples gather their most beloved folks together for the celebration of love is magical.

In this really tough world we need to have more beauty,
kindness, and joy.I bring my heart and passion to creating beauty for your event.  When partnering with me you will get my focus and collaboration.  From our initial consultation to the day of your event I will listen and guide you on how best to bring your vision to life.

I call my style wild crafted and asymmetrically designed with inspiration from what is seasonally available. Building relationships with regional flower growers, I strive to bring the freshest and lowest carbon footprint flowers to your event.”

“For over 14 years and 200+ weddings, I’ve been documenting love across the country creating photos and videos. Working with me feels like having a calm, supportive friend by your side. I create wedding photos and films that feel like you —wild, tender, and beautifully real.

I believe you should do exactly what you want on your wedding day with people who get you, in front of a backdrop as epic as your love story.

My work showcases the unique love you share with your partner; your job is just to breathe, stay present and soak it all in.

I’ll give soft direction when needed but mostly stay unobtrusive and observational, letting your day unfold naturally. I have an artistic documentary shooting style, looking for the genuine moments that compose your wedding day — the excited glances, the joy of your grandmother seeing you in your wedding outfit, and the energy of people coming together to celebrate your love.

You’ll receive photos and videos full of laughter, tears, dance floor chaos, and quiet moments you didn’t even know happened.

I value inclusivity, honesty, and making people feel seen. LGBTQIA+ affirming, your love is celebrated here.”

Aura photography is a type of instant photography that reads and interprets your energy using handplates. The camera captures your physical image and the frequencies you emit are projected as the colors of your aura.

As I move into my 5th year as an aura photographer, the continuous awe and excitement it brings me shows me that I’m on the right path. If you’ve ever taken a photo with me, you’ve seen firsthand how I geek out and get so excited to talk about your aura. Each photograph is so unique and I absolutely love seeing how readings validate the energy people are experiencing.”
