The Journal

Let’s talk about value.

Wedding photography isn’t just a line item on your planning checklist—it’s an investment in how your story will live on.

The cake will be eaten. The dress carefully packed away. But your photographs are what remain—growing more meaningful over time as your memories deepen.

I don’t take that lightly. I believe in capturing your love with artful integrity, honoring your story in every frame, and turning those images into heirlooms.

If you’re planning a 2026 wedding and care deeply about the legacy you’re building, I’d love to talk about what I can create for you.

Reach out before June 1 to secure current pricing.

Life moves fast. Let’s remember it slowly.

Let’s hold onto this season—just a little longer.

There’s something special about seeing your love story preserved in a tangible, lasting way. This black-and-white film photograph, taken on my vintage Rolleiflex, was captured with intention—one slow, meditative frame at a time. The way the light sparkles through the trees, the quiet intimacy of the moment—it all feels timeless.

Photographs aren’t just memories; they’re heirlooms. They deserve to live beyond a screen, to be seen and felt every day. A framed print transforms your space, grounding it in love and meaning.

If you’ve been waiting to print your images, consider this your sign. Let’s create something beautiful for your home.

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder that love is everywhere—not just in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, everyday moments. The way your partner reaches for your hand. The laughter shared over morning coffee. The hugs that feel like home.

I feel so lucky to spend my days capturing love stories—on wedding days, in cozy homes, in golden fields, and in the little in-between moments that make life so special.

However you’re celebrating today—with a partner, with friends, or simply by loving yourself—I hope your heart feels full. 💛
