Weddings Engagement

hello!

 

My approach to wedding photography is a blend of natural photojournalism and romantic, authentic portraits. I love the candid nature of life around us and the beauty of environmental lighting. I'm not here for those stiff, posed photos.. I'm here for you, to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and to capture your unique love story in a beautiful light. I'm all about capturing images that represent who you are as a couple so you can look back and relive those special moments for many years to come.

about

 

Photography has always played a big role in my life. I got my first camera in middle school and I haven't put it down since. Trust me, I know how cliché that sounds, but it is such a beautiful thing to tell stories through photos without saying a word. I was fascinated by this concept of visual storytelling that I spent most of my life learning and surrounding myself by art of all kinds. I graduated from Kutztown University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design. Graphic design allowed me to incorporate my photography skills while also learning the fundamentals of art. I have a love for so many forms of art but photography has always captivated me in a different way. I knew in my heart this is what I should be doing with my life. Not only do I absolutely love what I do, it makes me to happy to be able to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments for other people. To be able to put a smile on my client’s face means the world to me!

I'm very passionate for photography but that’s not the only thing I’m passionate about! I also love spending time in nature, going on camping + hiking trips, creating abstract paintings, meeting new people and spending quality time with my husband Nick and our super fluffy cat Bella. I'm so lucky I found a partner who enjoys being as creative as much as I do. With our mix of hobbies and passions, photography finds itself into everything we do. This is why Nick is my second photographer on the wedding day. It's so much fun working with other couples and we're always excited to tell their love story!
