About Me
I have always understood, in a quiet and personal way, that things don't last. Places become unreachable. People become memories. Time moves whether or not you are ready.
That understanding is why I became a photographer. And it is why I photograph the way I do.
But knowing how quickly things pass is also exactly why I love a wedding so much. A whole day given over to joy, to the people who matter most, to laughter that spills over and dancing that goes too late. I am there for all of it, fully, gladly. The depth and the delight are the same thing to me.
My work lives in the quiet in-between. The moment just beside the obvious one. The light that is almost gone. The color that is shifting, soft and luminous, already beginning to feel like memory.
I am drawn to candlelight, cool shadows, muted tones, and the kind of stillness that holds something true inside it. I am drawn, just as much, to the moments that make everyone laugh, the ones no one will stop talking about for years.
My photographs have been featured in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and recognized by BRIDES and Over The Moon among the world’s top wedding photographers. I have documented celebrations across Iceland, Bali, Burgundy, the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, and New York, my home.
But the work has never really been about the destination.
It has always been about giving you something to return to.
I am based in New York City, where I live with my husband and our two French Bulldogs, Jefe and Chloe. When I am not behind the camera, you will find me drawing inspiration from somewhere new.
Artist Statement
I often notice what others move too quickly to see. The way afternoon light leans across a room before anyone thinks to look. A glance between two people who have forgotten they are seen. The hush just after laughter, when the feeling is still in the air.
I have always been observant in this way. Slow to leave a good moment, quick to feel its weight while it is still unfolding. It is the quiet privilege of this work, to stand inside the most alive moments of your life and miss none of them.
My work lives in the quiet in-between. Not the peak moment but the one just beside it. Not the loudest light but the light that is almost gone. Not the most saturated color but the color that is shifting, already becoming something else.
I am drawn to what flickers. Candlelight. Wind through flowers. The stillness that settles after laughter. I shoot film because it whispers, and I scan it myself because I care how it feels, not only how it looks. I pull back color because memory is soft, not loud. I reach for black and white when a feeling is too true for color to carry.
I work in both film and digital, guided by instinct rather than formula, reaching for whatever most honors what is in front of me. Every frame is made with presence, and with joy. I approach each wedding as a collaboration, one that begins in trust, in the simple work of making you feel seen and safe and known. There is something sacred about being trusted with the memories that matter this much, and I never take it lightly.
These photographs are made to be felt, not only seen. Held onto. Loved for a long time.
