Long before photography became my career, I was collecting memories.

Photo booth strips tucked into drawers. Disposable camera snapshots. Travel photos I couldn't bring myself to delete. I've always been drawn to nostalgia and the way a single photograph can instantly transport you back to a moment, a feeling, or a season of life you'd give anything to revisit.

That's what drew me to wedding photography.

Not just the beautiful venues or thoughtfully chosen details, but the people at the center of it all. The relationships, the emotion, and the moments that become part of your story long after the wedding day is over.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me planning my next adventure, revisiting a favorite movie, cooking with the people I love, or exploring somewhere new. A few places that have stayed with me over the years? Walking the Grand Haven pier with pronto pup in hand, getting completely lost inside Meow Wolf Santa Fe, late nights at Frankie's Tiki Room in Las Vegas, and just about anywhere in Koh Samui, Thailand.

My approach blends fine art imagery with genuine connection, creating photographs that feel both beautiful and deeply personal. Because while beautiful photographs matter, it's the feeling behind them that gives them meaning.

Years from now, my hope is that your images bring you right back to the people, emotions, and moments that made it all forgettable.
