Real Moments Documented With Intention
Documentary imagery doesn’t have to be dry or rigid — it can be fluid and nuanced. It can convey wonder, beauty, and memory.
The one thing you should know about me is that I believe in doing things with intention. I started out documenting punk bands in basements 7 years ago that led to a role in the fashion landscape, and now, I travel to document couples in love with the same hybrid editorial-photojournalistic eye. Couples who book me tend to believe in the purity of the moment, don’t want anything over-staged, and really value the time spent with their loved ones and friends over trying to get the perfect picture. Most of the couples I’ve worked with have either bucked tradition in some way or another, or made up their own rules when it came to their day.
Oh, and I’m also a verified member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association — an international directory of documentary, reportage-style photographers as well as adventure elopement photographers.
