βYou didnβt just take pictures, you told our story. Somehow, you caught every laugh, every tear, every tiny moment in between that we didnβt even realize was happening at the time. We are over the moon with our photos, they are even more beautiful than we imagined.β

βIt all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business.β
The Swoon Story.
Something new.. Something you.
Before the wedding day ever begins, there is already a story unfolding. It is how you met, how it felt, the quiet moments that led you here.
Swoon Stories are my way of preserving that part of your love, the heartbeat beneath the day.
Through a guided conversation, we record your story in your own voices. The laughter, the nerves, the way your eyes find each other when you talk about the moment you knew. It is not scripted or posed. It is the raw, real, beautiful truth of what brought you here.
You will receive a cinematic audio or video piece that can be played at your reception, shared on your wedding website, or kept as a keepsake. It is a time capsule of what this love feels like right now.
Because the wedding is one day.
But your story is forever.
An experience worth swooning over

A great photographer does more than take beautiful pictures, they help you design your day so every moment is captured at its best. From guiding your timeline to ensure the perfect light for portraits to being in the right place for the most meaningful moments, your photographer becomes your quiet co-pilot, making sure your wedding flows seamlessly and your memories are preserved exactly as they should be.

While the unposed and candid moments are always the show stoppers, I specialize in knowing when to lead and keep your timeline flowing smoothly and when to step back and let your moments flow naturally.

Each image is meticulously culled, edited, and gently retouched by me. My editing style is nostalgic and emotion-driven, while remaining true to life with skin tones and natural coloring of your location.
