I’m a Rochester, NY documentary wedding and elopement

My work is rooted in storytelling, capturing what’s real as it naturally unfolds, without interruption or expectation.

I approach weddings with a calm, observant presence. No stiff posing, no constant direction, just space for you and your partner to be fully present with each other and the people you love. The result is a collection of images that feel natural, emotive, and true to your experience.

Based in Rochester, New York, I photograph weddings and elopements across the Finger Lakes and Upstate New York, documenting everything from intimate, nature-filled elopements to full wedding celebrations.

I believe wedding photography should be both meaningful and accessible. I’m proud to offer affordable wedding photography in Rochester, NY while maintaining a thoughtful, personalized experience from start to finish.

If you’re drawn to a mix of candid storytelling and a handful of relaxed, natural portraits, I’m always happy to guide you when needed. Your vision matters, and I’ll gently shape the experience to reflect it, without ever taking you out of the moment.

This space is inclusive and welcoming to all. I photograph weddings, engagements, elopements, and couples of all identities, backgrounds, and love stories. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and celebrated exactly as you are.

I do this through two different paths. One is completely hands off your whole day capturing organic moments, while the other embodies that with a dedicated portrait section with guided prompt allowing you to fall naturally into your pose.
