Meet Your Elopement Photographer

You know that kid that was always quiet in school with their nose in a book, actually stoked from silent reading time? YUP, THAT WAS ME!! *insert my midwestern wave*

I believe in romanticizing the shit out of your life, following your heart even if it's scary, and living life through experiences. I believe in soulmates, the magic of the universe, the invisible string theory, and yup, even aliens!

When you work with me, you're working with someone who's determined to make your dreams come true and support you in every way imaginable, while capturing your love story as if it's the greatest romance novel you'll ever read!
