I first fell in love with photography through something small and unexpected, a worn box of my family’s photos, edges curled and memories made soft with time.

I remember thinking how extraordinary it was that an image could hold so much meaning. How it could bridge what once was with what still is, preserving a legacy for generations to come.

That wonder and appreciation never left me.
It’s what led me to this work. Telling stories that will one day live in someone else’s box of photographs. Stories that will continue to feel alive even decades from now.

Through a thoughtful balance of editorial composition and honest emotion, I strive to create images that feel alive. Timeless in tone, yet deeply personal in their storytelling. My work is guided by intuition, light, and an understanding of what it means to be fully present in a fleeting moment.

Rooted in the mountains of Colorado and documenting celebrations around the world, I draw inspiration from honest connection, elegant design, and the sacred beauty of marriage itself.

Every photograph I make is a preservation of legacy—reflecting not only how your day looked, but how it felt.
