genuine storytelling for free-spirited couples
Philadelphia Wedding and Lifestyle Photography
Finding the right wedding photographer can be hard, but I’m here to tell you…
My goal as your photographer is to ease your worries and ensure your wedding day is stress-free from the minute you book me as your photographer. Nothing makes me happier than putting a smile on my clients’ faces (and sharing a good laugh! - after all, its life’s best medicine.)
As your photographer, I’ll capture every moment and detail of your wedding day. Big or small, nothing will be forgotten.
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Growing up, we had vintage cameras showcased in our home. I was always so fascinated by them! I’d often find myself picking them up, pushing the buttons, examining where the film would go… So when high school came around, I was thrilled to find out I could sign up for photography classes – that’s where my passion for photography kicked into overdrive.
My journey as a wedding photographer started with pure luck when an old friend reached out and asked if I’d be interested in photographing their wedding day. I thought she was crazy but I happily accepted the challenge. I’m so glad I said yes because if I didn’t I wouldn’t have known just how amazing photographing weddings can be!
2016 is when things became official and it’s been absolute bliss ever since! Almost 200 weddings later and I still get choked up at every first dance, beam with joy every time a couple sees each other for the first time, and cheer on every single hype moment!

My husband and kids are my biggest cheerleaders and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them! We love game nights, dancing like nobody’s watching, snacking on new foods, and going on adventures. We have 2 rescue pups that we absolutely adore and can't imagine life without our furry pals!
Every day, they teach me the importance of enjoying the little moments in life, and I take that passion into my work. Whether you’re hosting an elegant 500+ guest wedding or a backyard-bbq-style elopement, I’ll be there to photograph every second of your big day.
a trip down memory lane…
A long while back, I had a bride that seemed like she was being pulled in a million directions by her family and bridesmaids. I made the decision to send everyone out of the bridal suite to give her a few moments to take some deep breaths. She looked at me with a slight tear in her eye and said, “Thank you so much, I’m just so happy you’re here with me!”
At that moment, I knew why I was with her on her wedding day and I was convinced that photographing weddings was what I was meant to do with my life. Every wedding day I am a part of brings me so much joy. Time and time again, I am proud I can ease any wedding day stress and make your day feel effortless while still photographing all the good angles (we all got them!)
Wondering if we’d be a good fit?
It’s a big decision, but let me help you out…
Honestly, the wedding planning process can get a little overwhelming, I get it! It can become challenging to find the right photographer you vibe well with or find someone that understands your concerns. The anxieties that come with being in front of the camera are understandable, but I’d argue that being photographed isn’t as intimidating as some make it out to be. It can be fun, light-hearted, and silly!
I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and ease your worries to make you feel like you can be 100% yourself. As your photographer, take comfort in knowing I’m with you throughout the wedding planning process. I will always have your back and support your decisions! When you hire me, I will champion and help amplify your voice from the moment we book to the moment I deliver your wedding gallery.

fun facts for curious couples
I’ve photographed close to 200 weddings (big & small) in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas - From Lancaster to the Jersey shore, to NY state!
I consider myself an extroverted-introvert, I will be all the hype your party needs, but give me a hot coffee and silence the next morning to recharge those batteries.
Music is life! I will easily rock out to Metallica or SOAD, and chill out to DMB or Bob Marley, but put on some ’90s/00s pop and you’ll get some karaoke fun going!
I’m a wannabe at-home barista. You can catch me making horrible latte art, one cup at a time. I’m slowly getting better and better – you may even catch some of my latte art on Instagram!
I’m a lefty (aka a southpaw) and LOVE meeting other lefties!
I’m a collector of random things; I can’t leave a store without finding a fun mug, a funky coat, a cool hat, or a colorful pillow!
