My mission is to create images that spark memory and reflection, capturing the people, community, and emotion that tells the honest and beautiful story of your day, so you and your loved ones can relive not just the outfits and the decorations, but the warmth, togetherness, and radiance of your celebration.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm based in beautiful Ithaca, NY and serve the entire Finger Lakes region of Upstate. I'll travel for the right couple though! I do charge for mileage, lodging, and incidentals when the celebration is outside of the Finger Lakes region.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I've been photographing weddings since 2007. I really made weddings my primary focus after I got married in 2016– it was the most joyful day of my life, and I realized the significance of having that documented in an honest and memorable way!

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

Documentary-style, with a dose of honest and intimate portraiture.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

I operate on an hourly rate structure, customizing packages to each client based on their wedding-day schedule and budget. The most common commitment is around $4k.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I don't have a physical studio, but I have lots of favorite coffee shops! Recently I've been meeting most clients via zoom.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I have a degree in Cinema & Photography from Ithaca College, and am always expanding my skillset through courses and workshops.
