Now Available for Micro & Elopement Wedding
For the couples who crave connection, not convention.
You don’t want the giant ballroom bash. You want something real. Intentional. Maybe it’s just you and your person, or maybe a tight-knit crew of your favorite humans. You’re skipping the stress, the spreadsheets, and the year-long wait—because love doesn’t need a massive production. It just needs you two.
I get it. After photographing over 600 weddings (yes, really), I took a step back from the wedding whirlwind. I needed a breather. I loved the joy, the stories, the beautiful chaos—but whew, it was a lot.
Now? I’m back. But on my own terms. I’m here for the offbeat romantics, the rule-breakers, the couples getting married for them—not for tradition, trends, or anyone else. I want to celebrate your day with meaning, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. And yes, we’re going to make some serious art along the way.
Here’s the vibe:
- I book weddings 6 months out or less (unless you're whisking me away to a fabulous destination).
- Your guest list is short and sweet—close friends and family only.
- You’re up for fun, romance, and some creative magic.
Sound like your kind of celebration?
Fill out the Wedding Info Form below and let’s see if we’re a match made in micro-wedding heaven!
- P.S. Got your heart set on something a bit bigger? Convince me. Rules were made to be joyfully broken.
Oh and did I mention that I won 1st place Masters Wedding Image &
Missouri's Top 10 Photographers at both 2023 & 2024 at MOPPA , along with many other awards... :)
