Adirondack Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer + Planner
Capturing authentic love stories across Upstate New York, Colorado & beyond. Helping you plan + Photograph your unique wedding day.
I photograph couples who value connection, intention, and real moments - whether you're planning an intimate elopement in the mountains or a meaningful wedding celebration surrounded by your favorite people.
I focus on capturing real, candid moments while offering gentle guidance. My goal is to bring a calm, friendly presence behind the lens, helping you feel supported and at ease throughout your day- even when things feel overwhelming.
✨Honest. Emotional. Effortlessly you.
Your love story deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.
For over 16+ years, I’ve been documenting love stories in a way that feels natural, heartfelt, and true to who you are. From quiet mountaintop vows to joyful celebrations with family and friends, I focus on capturing the moments you feel — not just the ones you see.
Your photos should bring you right back to the emotion, the movement, the laughter, and the connection — not just on your wedding day, but for decades to come.
WHAT MAKES MY APPROACH DIFFERENT
More than photos — an experience built around you.
✔ Documentary-style storytelling with an artistic touch
✔ Guidance when you need it, space when you don’t
✔ A calm, supportive presence on your day
✔ Movement, emotion & real connection over stiff posing
✔ Deep knowledge of Adirondack + Northeast locations
Whether you’re eloping just the two of you or celebrating with loved ones, I’ll help you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present.
