indiana, michigan, chicago wedding photographer

Rooted in emotion and refined through simplicity, the heart of my work is centered around preserving the meaningful connections between you and the people you love. 

Through a blend of thoughtful storytelling and an eye for honest moments, each frame effortlessly captures the fleeting moments of your wedding and every detail in between. 

the WEDDING EXPERIENCE

PHOTOS
THAT
YOUR MEMORIES

...honest, intimate and full of heart.

Photography has taught me to pay attention—to the fleeting, the unsaid, the deeply human.

I document each celebration with care and curiosity, aiming to create work that is both elevated and grounded in real life. My approach blends editorial elegance with heartfelt storytelling.

My role on your wedding day is part artist, part observer, part archivist to create imagery that will outlive trends; they’re made to hold space for memory, legacy, and heart.
