About Me
I’m a Nashville Wedding Photographer serving couples all over. With a photographic approach fueled by curiosity, intentionality, and looking for meaning in the mundane, I strive to document your day, both the expected and unexpected, with honesty and beauty.
I grew up in a multi-diverse family with eight siblings in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It’s no surprise that weddings hold a multitude of different people, personalities, and emotions. And with that, can sometimes bring a little chaos. For some, this can be overwhelming to navigate. For me, weddings feel like another Sunday family dinner after church.
Advice given to me on my wedding day
On the day of my own wedding, my older brother gave me a piece of advice. He told me to make sure to take a few moments throughout the day to step back, look around, and really take in what was happening in each moment and process why we were there that day. He told me that at his wedding, the day felt like a blur and, while it was the greatest day of his life, it ended before he knew it.
Thankfully, we took his advice.
But it wasn’t until we got our photos back that we were able to truly understand. Because we chose to be fully immersed on our wedding day, our photos reflected that. Not only is the joy visible, but you can truly feel the emotions in our photos. I knew this experience was something I needed to share with my couples.
I believe that the photography experience, at the core, is actually a human experience. The key to timeless photos is simply allowing yourself to be present on your wedding day. When you’re truly experiencing all of the emotions of your wedding, the timeless, genuine photos will come naturally.
