Over 500 celebrations
Serving Dallas, TX and destinations worldwide
Since 2007
Within these 16 years of photographing more than 500 weddings, I have realized that my bond with my clients brings out the best of my creativity. Your celebration is more than just the cake and the dancing - it is celebrating YOU. It is the intimate moment I'm drawn to when you wink at your lover at the altar while tightly holding hands... The hug your best friend gives you on the dance floor... The happy tear that runs down your cheek while you watch your partner walk towards you down the aisle...
What I do is so much more than just creating beautiful photographs to hang on your wall. It's giving you something to remind you of all the feels from your big day. My approach makes it easier for me to blend in, and in no time, you, your family, and your friends will forget I'm "the photographer" and celebrate with you, unfolding all the memories made.
As your wedding photographer, I believe the photos you receive at the end of the day must tell your story. From all the intimate moments to the crazy party - I want you to relive your day every time you look at your photos on your walls or your album on your coffee table. From the start of your day, photographing your details, I will be there until the end, waving goodbye to you as you leave your venue. Capturing all the raw emotions, all the beauty, and all the fun from your day... Everything will be fabulous - and that is my promise to you.
My mission is to bring out the personalities of my couples who are madly in love, reflecting their passion for one another while helping them during the entire process with my 16+ years of experience with pride, sincerity, and authenticity.
IT'S ALL IN THE THOUGHTFUL DETAILS.
I love getting to know my couples before anything else. We need that connection for those fun, authentic, and sweet photos you see in my portfolio. After you inquire, our first step will be to set up a phone consultation and chat more about you, your partner, your relationship, and your plans for your big celebration. This call is where you'll get to know me. That way, you know I'm the best fit for you. I can't stress this enough - but we must click well for everything to be seamless. Perhaps this is why I never end up with clientzillas, if you know what I mean, haha! I want to make sure you know EVERYTHING about me and my services, what's included and what's not - BEFORE you book with me.
I want this to be special for you and your partner. Nowadays, most wedding traditions are out the window. You don't have to follow anyone else's footsteps. Do you want to walk down the aisle together? Go for it! You don't want to do a bouquet/garter toss? You do you, boo! Or maybe you want to do your newlywed portraits before/after your wedding day - I got you! Good for you for dedicating your day to only having fun. Whatever you hope to have on your wedding day, share your ideas with me, and we can make it possible. If it's not something I can do, I can introduce you to my friendors who can. I think, at this point, we are all done with the cookie-cutter ideas, and that's abso-fuckin'-lutely wonderful!

I cannot put every photo I deliver to my couples, but once you send me an inquiry, I'll be happy to share some of my recent client galleries. That way, you'll know EXACTLY what to expect, what the end product looks like, and what you will receive if you book with me. Want an album with your booking? Come see me at my studio - I'm happy to show you samples along with cover options
