Authentic Wedding Photography Focused on Presence, Connection & Trust

I photograph weddings that prioritize presence, emotional connection, and trusted storytelling — capturing candid moments, quiet exchanges, and the real relationships that make your day unique.

About me After nearly two decades of marriage, I know how quickly meaningful moments pass and how powerful they become when revisited. I shoot with intention: blending unobtrusive documentary coverage and gentle direction so you can stay present while I capture gestures, glances, and unscripted laughter that tell your story. Weddings aren’t just events to me — they are layered days of family, history, and feeling, often revealed in the quiet spaces between vows, toasts, and dances. My images aim to feel as true and memorable as the day itself.

I am based out of Prosper, Texas, but travel to capture those moments. Most recent wedding was in Portland, Oregon. My experience in lighting allows me to adjust on the fly and capture the best story.

The Process

1. Engagement Session

The engagement session isn’t about practice, but connection. This is time set aside to get comfortable, understand how you naturally move together, and create space to simply be yourselves. There’s no pressure to perform — just an opportunity to settle in, build trust, and begin telling your story in a way that feels natural.

2. Preparation

Preparation creates a calm wedding day.

Through thoughtful planning and open communication, we’ll align expectations and walk through what matters most to you. This process isn’t rigid — it’s intentional. By addressing details ahead of time, the wedding day is free to unfold with confidence and ease.

3. Wedding Day

Presence over direction

I’ll guide when it’s helpful and step back when it’s not, allowing moments to happen without interruption. The focus stays on connection, emotion, and the quiet in-between moments that often mean the most — documented as they naturally unfold.
