I’m a wedding photographer serving Cincinnati, Dayton, and beyond, capturing romance, connection, and the in-between moments that make your day unforgettable.

My goal is to create images that feel timeless and true and photographs that reflect not only how your day looked, but how it felt to be there.

Welcome! Here's a few quick fun facts about me! I can't tell you how much I love living in Ohio (moved in 2016 from FL) because hello seasons! While summer is my absolute fave, I can't decide on second place (def between spring or fall!) But aside from that, I snort when I laugh, I get giddy about road trips, I find joy in building the perfect playlist, and I'm on a mission to visit as many of Ohio's breweries and state parks as I can. My ultimate bucket list item would be visiting every National Park in the US. While I love adventure, travel, and exploring, truth be told some of my best memories were right at home with my cats cuddled up by me, a cup of coffee (or glass of wine!) in my hand, something good on Netflix, and my husband making me laugh.

Let's be friends!

Your wedding day should feel like a celebration, not a photoshoot, and I’m there to keep things relaxed, natural, and full of laughter.

Joyful, Easy, & Fun

I believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that are both stunning and deeply felt.

Beauty with Heart

PRINCIPLE 3

I’m drawn to vibrant color, beautiful light, and images that feel as alive and joyful as the moments themselves.

People on your photography team

I know all too well what it's like finding that special someone. I met my husband at a time in my life where I didn't expect to find love. Our wedding day was a day I'll never forget and the images I received meant so much to me. The relationship I have with my husband is absolutely the most important part of my life. Without sounding cheesy, he is my best friend!

I've always loved photography and it was a hobby for many years. I started my business in 2018 thinking that I could take my hobby and make it something more. I never thought I'd do weddings, though! Through happenstance, I was able to photograph my first wedding in 2020 and that's when I discovered how much FUN it was. It was like a spark had been lit within me. I get to create beautiful art and also spend time with lovely couples on the best days of their lives? Sign me up! I went right into setting my business up to be one that focused on the wedding experience. Good photos are of course important, but you should ENJOY the process!

 I feel fortunate to have been chosen by many couples to capture those moments I know are so dear to their hearts. So, if you're reading this, I hope to do the same for you!

With so many images living on screens, the experience of flipping through a beautifully crafted album feels all the more meaningful. It invites you to slow down, revisit each moment, and truly take it in. Each wedding collection includes a linen heirloom album to preserve your story in a way that lasts.

Marriage

A strong marriage is the bedrock of a happy life (I truly believe this!) Finding your partner that you want to commit to for the rest of your life is simply soul-fulfilling.

outdoors

I've visited a ton of national parks and state parks. I love to go on hikes, take a boat ride, or just sit outside by a fire. 

Travel

I love visiting new places. I like trying new foods, drinks, and exploring all that a town has to offer. My favorite trip so far has been to either Montana or Maine!

taking photos

Long before I started photographing weddings, photography was a passion of mine. I learned on a small camera back in college, and was always taking photos with my phone. Some of my friends joked that I was the "historian" of the group since I documented every moment! 

Things I Love

favorites

Date nights with my husband: Nothing better than enjoying the company of my hubby and exploring new finds together.
