...but when I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me spending quality time with family & friends, going on walks, listening to podcasts while road tripping, or sitting in a coffee shop to edit! I can easily get lost in a good book, historical fiction with romance intertwined is my go to (bet you didn't guess that;)

capturing young love in an open field while chasing the sun is what I love most...

Born & raised in the small town of Millersburg, Pennsylvania, I've learned to value hard work, community, and Christian values. I'm outgoing, love people, & am known to always be laughing about something! Though I come across as extroverted, I have introverted tendencies, and thrive around a circle of close friends, which might explain why I especially love the more intimate backyard celebrations;)

beyond the images...

It's an absolute joy to document love stories and capture wedding days full of happiness & love, where Jesus is kept the central focus and given glory! Jesus brought me to where I am today, and without Him I am nothing. HE DESERVES ALL THE PRAISE!

-but to me it's so much more than just a living-

I'm the girl who loves the outdoors and iced lattes, goes barefoot whenever possible, stops the car on her golden hour drives to pick pretty wildflowers, geeks out over cute love stories, and somehow found a way to go to weddings for a living:)

i'm

heyy friend!

faith.

My aim is to honor Jesus through everything I do. I want my life to be a walking testimony of His love and faithfulness to us! I've found that the most fulfilling wedding days are the ones where your marriage is prioritized and the little details take second place to honoring Jesus and truly celebrating the beginning of your marriage... I want that to shine through your images!

the core Values

connection.

Connection is what I capture, whether that's in friendship, in love, or in worship to Jesus. How you connect with your love is what inspires my prompts during your session or happy day. I create spaces for connection all throughout your wedding day, and I search for it in the seemingly mundane and ordinary happenings. 

The core Values

intentionality.

I believe in that intentionality, even on wedding days, can bring calm to the chaos. It's no secret that wedding days fly by! Be intentional about who surrounds you, what you choose to include in your day, and what your priorities are, and it will make a difference to everyone involved. Make time to slow down, breathe, and spend quality time with your loved ones!

THE EXPERIENCE

want to learn more about the process?

I believe that each story is handwritten by my Heavenly Father and deserved to be preserved. No moment or detail is too insignificant to be documented- the little details, the hugs, the belly laughs, the happy tears, the kisses, the memories... 

I've been shooting weddings for three years, and while I never would've guessed this would be my full time job, I honestly can't picture myself doing anything else! Being part of 50 plus weddings has given me a new perspective of what the day is truly about.

your wedding day is not something I take for granted
