My approach to wedding photography is simple: to honestly photograph your friends and family in a way that feels true, so twenty years from now your photos reflect your wedding day as it really was and help you remember both the big and small moments. In many ways, I’m photographing for the future as much as the present.

I’m mostly hands-off, gathering real moments as they unfold, while offering light guidance during portraits so you feel comfortable and fully yourself. No two weddings are the same, and that’s what keeps me inspired. I’m drawn to the history, tradition, and love each couple brings, creating photographs that feel deeply personal and entirely their own.

My work is rooted in presence over perfection. A photographer I admire once said, “Instead of trying to get every beat, just get the heartbeats,” and that philosophy shapes the way I work, leaving space for meaningful moments to happen naturally.

Based in Grand Rapids, you’ll usually find me chasing after my two-year-old son with my husband close by. In quieter moments, I love quilting, a craft passed down by my mom and grandmother. Becoming a parent has deepened my appreciation for how fleeting time is and how powerful photographs can be in helping us remember it. I’m endlessly grateful to document love stories and create heirlooms meant to last for generations.
