AUSTIN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

With each wedding, I ask my couples to be open and honest to capture their wedding images. It’s only fair that I do the same.

So, here’s an awkward truth about me

I’m not married.

I didn’t grow up dreaming of my wedding day. For many years, I was somewhat cynical about the idea of marriage.

And yet, I couldn’t be more in love with this work.

Wedding photography has cracked me open

I once fell in love at a wedding and dated him for three years. I will always love that story because it placed me in a heart space that I've never left –

documenting weddings like I could fall in love, too.

It’s shown me how bright a person can shine when they are brave enough to put their heart in someone else’s hand. it hasn’t made me jaded about my own love lost; it’s made me hopeful. Eager. Being thrust into that amount of vulnerability changed me forever.

As I watch each of my couples get married, I’m building a case study of how spectacular a relationship can be, and how one day I will have that, too.

You can’t find inspiration more potent than that. So, thank you. You’re pushing me to do my best work.

  • Because wedding and lifestyle photography is about celebrating who you really are. Fake smiles and photoshopping just aren’t my jam.

  • From the colors to the people, I hope you look at my images and see brave souls who are baring their true selves.

  • My photos give off a warm-and-fuzzy feeling, like you know the folks in them, because I connect so deeply with each client.

  • Play is a pretty big deal for me. Your wedding should be fun, and I always make sure that comes through in the photos.
