Your story, with all its beautiful complexity, deserves to be told with the same depth and reverence you bring to your relationship. Whether you're blending two cultures, two faiths, or simply two families with their own unique traditions, I'm here to honor every part of what makes your love story yours.
As a Nevada wedding photographer, I believe the photographer you choose should celebrate your differences, not overlook them.

I believe love doesn't look the same for everyone, and neither should your wedding photos

It all started with a Mickey Mouse camera and a lot of curiosity

My love affair with capturing life started with a Mickey Mouse 110 film camera my grandfather gave me as a kid. I was that family member always taking photos of my sisters and friends doing ridiculous things—just being kids, you know? From yearbook club in junior high to events coordinator in college, I've always been the one behind the camera, drawn to documenting the moments that matter.

But I didn't always know this was where I'd end up as a Nevada wedding photographer. I started college studying website design (back when we coded in HTML, if that tells you anything about my age), but life had other plans. I worked in a variety of different fields to help me grow my entrepreneurial skills: housekeeper at a B&B, street team promotions for a college radio station, even cocktail waitressing in Vegas. Then I finally found my way to photography. And when I did, it was like everything clicked into place.
(LOL, clicked, get it?)


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.

Each moment can pass in the blink of an eye, so we will make the most of this window and breathe life into the events taking place. I believe that my job is to capture not only memories but also the emotion, relief, sadness, and absolute joy on this unforgettable day. It may sound silly but I do enjoy quietly walking into a room of chaos and finding pockets of timeless memories in your relaxed, and natural self with the ones you love.
