I live in Midcoast Maine with my husband, our two children, and our springer spaniel, Scout. I’ve had the privilege of documenting weddings of all shapes and sizes throughout New England and around the world since 2012. I grew up in a small seaside town in Southern Maine, and my husband is a commercial lobster boat captain, so the coast of Maine and the ocean are deeply woven into our every day life, and serve as a constant source of inspiration for my work.

When I am not behind the camera, I can be found surviving parenthood, teaching hot yoga, seeking out ABBA-themed dance parties, and traveling.

Some pieces of my heart, shot on film:

A note on style

As a visual artist, I find it can be difficult to distill my “style” into words. At its core, my goal is to create images that look the way the moment felt — photos that carry you back, inviting you to feel it all again. On a wedding day, my approach is a balance of gentle guidance and quiet observation. I help couples feel comfortable and confident during portraits, while also remaining attentive to the subtle, candid, “in-between moments” that often go unnoticed: shared glances, family connections, a father’s quiet wink to his daughter before she walks down the aisle.

Bearing witness to these moments year after year has been a profound privilege. Documenting love in all its forms continues to inspire me, and it’s work I feel deeply grateful to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For a typical “full wedding day,” we will arrive about 2-3 hours before your ceremony begins, and stay until about an hour after the dance floor opens, or about 8-9 hours. We are flexible and always able to add additional hours of coverage for special late-night surprises or our favorite - fireworks!

  • My primary medium on a wedding day is always digital, but I can (and love to!) incorporate shooting 35mm film into the day.

  • The Maine and New England wedding industry is close knit and full of incredible vendors who are masters of their crafts - I love to recommend and work with my favorites! Don’t hesitate to ask!

  • Traditional wedding day coverage begins at $6500 for a shorter day, add-ons such as engagement sessions, rehearsal dinner coverage, and rolls of 35mm film are all available. Drop me a line for a full pricing guide!

  • If you decide you’d like to move forward after we chat over the phone or on a video call, I require an electronically signed contract and a $1000 retainer fee to hold your date. The remaining payments are broken into two, with the balance due 30 days from your wedding date.
