The artist behind the lens
In my approach to photography, I strive to capture candid and documentary moments, allowing my clients to fully immerse themselves in the joy of their special day without worrying about what's being captured. I find inspiration in utilizing the venue and surrounding spaces to craft creative and unique shots, weaving the essence of the location into the tapestry of each image. While I guide and prompt couples to warm up to the camera, I also embrace spontaneity, seizing opportunities for authentic moments amidst the posed shots. Many of my clients express initial nerves about being in front of the camera, but my goal is to dissolve those feelings, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere throughout the shoot. With gentle encouragement and a genuine connection, I strive to capture the true essence of each couple, ensuring that every image reflects their love story in its purest form.

Jess was a dream to work with! My now fiancé got her to photograph our proposal and I can’t be more thankful to her. All the photos were absolutely perfect and she came prepared with poses and was just a joy to work with! So happy she was the one that captured that special moment for us.
