Portfolio

A gallery of gathered moments

A small selection of weddings, elopements and portrait sessions. Look through them the way you'd turn the pages of an album.

How I photograph

Natural light, and no rushing

I shoot in natural light and I don't rush. I give gentle direction when you want it and stay out of the way when you don't, so the photographs look like you and not like a pose.

More than photographs — a breath of life, a reflection of love, and a little piece of forever.

Elopements + weddings

Just the two of you, or a handful of people, and room to breathe.
