Signature Style

Natural light when it’s beautiful; professional lighting when it’s needed. Colors are clean and timeless; compositions intentional. You’ll receive gentle direction for portraits and unobtrusive coverage throughout the day—so you look relaxed and your moments remain authentic. My approach favors natural light for softness and uses professional flash for consistency when needed, keeping your wedding photography elegant and cohesive.

Style & Editing Philosophy

I keep color true-to-life with a subtle, cinematic finish. Skin tones are natural, grain is minimal, and the look is designed to hold up over time. This editorial wedding photography approach gives you modern images that still feel classic years from now. If you love candid wedding photos that capture genuine emotion—and timeless wedding photos for albums and wall art—you’ll feel at home with my work. I’m a strong believer in natural light wedding photography whenever possible, adding controlled light only when it elevates the moment.
