I'm entering my fourth wedding season, and it's been quite a journey! Interestingly, I began my photography career during the pandemic. As a recent film school graduate, I found myself exploring new avenues for work when the film industry shut down. Luckily, I landed a second photographer gig with a seasoned photographer on the eastern shore. That first wedding went so smoothly that I was asked to stay on for the rest of the summer. From there, I gradually transitioned to taking on my own smaller weddings and building my business. Now, four years in, I'm doing what I love and couldn't be happier!

Absolutely! You can view most of my work, including full weddings, through my gallery on my website. I also can send out links to full galleries upon request.

Buckle up buckaroo— this is a long one. Like any photographer, I dread the thought of lost images. My business is more than just a job—it's my fourth baby, right after my three precious pups. Photography is my livelihood, my passion, my everything, so I take extra precautions to protect every single shot.

#1 - I shoot with two cameras, each equipped with a dual card slot. This means every image is saved to two separate SD cards simultaneously. If one card fails, I've got a backup ready to go.

#2 - After your wedding, I back up your images to two external solid state drives. Unlike traditional hard drives, solid state drives use flash memory, making them more reliable and less prone to failure.

#3 - I never format my SD cards until your full gallery has been delivered. So even if both external drives fail or are lost, I've still got your images safe and sound.

#4 - As I edit your photos, I back them up to Adobe Creative Cloud. This not only protects your images but also preserves any edits I've made.

I know it may seem like overkill, but as a naturally paranoid and anxious person, these steps are essential for quadruple protecting your photos—and preserving my sanity and peace of mind.

Although I've never had to put my emergency plan into action (fingers crossed), I firmly believe in preparing for the unexpected. In the rare event that I'm unable to photograph your wedding, I have a trusted team of second shooters ready to step in. They're familiar with my style, shooting approach, and have worked alongside me extensively to ensure a seamless experience for you on your special day. If, by chance, they're unavailable too, I'm part of a robust network of over 100 seasoned wedding photographers. We regularly collaborate and provide backup for one another when needed, ensuring that your wedding day coverage remains in capable hands.

I'm easygoing, yet assertive when necessary. While I could snap photos endlessly and provide endless poses and prompts, I understand that your wedding day is about you, your partner, and your loved ones, not about me and my camera. During the "getting ready" portion of the day, I'll offer a bit more direction, but by the time the reception starts, I blend into the background, capturing candid moments of you and your loved ones. Rest assured, when it comes to wrangling and organizing family for photos, I'll be there ensuring everyone on your list gets photographed! Ultimately, my top priority is capturing the essence of your special day and ensuring it's one of the happiest days of your life.
