It all started with a Mickey Mouse camera and a lot of curiosity
From small-town California to Vegas spectacle to East Coast traditions to Nevada's natural beauty
Thanks to my husband Matt's career in hospitality, we've lived quite the nomadic life: starting in small-town California, then Las Vegas, then Atlantic City, and now Reno, with who knows where next in the next 7-10 years. Each move has shaped me as a Nevada wedding photographer in ways I never expected—giving me exposure to incredible diversity and different ways of celebrating love.
In Vegas, I worked under a studio and learned how to make quick elopements glitzy, glam, and anything but an afterthought. In Atlantic City, I discovered the deep family traditions of the East Coast and Tri-State area. Now in Reno, I'm falling in love with the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe and the laid-back elegance of Northern California celebrations. Each place has taught me something new about love, family, and the countless ways people choose to celebrate their most meaningful moments across Nevada and beyond.
I basically created a career where I live inside 90s rom-coms every weekend. And I’m obsessed.
I live in Reno with Matt and our two kids (ages 9 and 5), and honestly, most days feel like controlled chaos in the best possible way. When I'm not editing photos or chasing after my kids, you'll find me exploring hiking trails around Lake Tahoe, collecting vinyl records, or hunting for treasures at thrift stores.
I have a serious problem with buying chips at every corner store we stop at (my trip to Ireland and Scotland last year was basically a chip tour), and my drink preferences are very specific: water, coffee, or tea before 10am, and for happy hour, give me small batch whiskey neat, a crafted Belgian beer, or a slightly sweet Riesling.
I'm obsessed with 90s rom-coms and time period dramas—Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Outlander—basically anything with romance, comedy, and a healthy dose of drama. And honestly? I think I created a career where I get to live inside those stories every weekend. There's something magical about documenting love stories that have that same inescapable magnetism, that "can't quit each other" energy that makes the best rom-coms unforgettable.

We know you have taking all your free time to craft your wedding and working with the vendors to plan a experience that is a reflection of the two of you. Those details will not go unphotographed. There will be plenty of details to choose from.
