The Person Behind the Lens
Fun Facts
I'm known to tear up during emotional moments—whether it's a father-daughter first look or a heartfelt first dance. This emotional connection helps me anticipate and capture the raw, authentic feelings that make your wedding photos truly meaningful
My emergency kit has saved dozens of wedding day moments—from sewing loose buttons to providing stain removers for unexpected spills on white dresses
