West Virginia Wedding Photographer
7+ years. 100+ weddings. A proven, stress-free experience you can trust.
Unscripted. Unfiltered. Unapologetically You.
I am a West Virginia wedding photographer capturing real, emotion-filled moments for couples who want to actually enjoy their day.
If the thought of standing there while someone tells you to “smile for the camera” makes you cringe… you’re in the right place.
You'll have a photography experience that’s as fun and effortless as falling in love has been.
Through playful prompts and natural interaction, I guide you in a way that feels easy, comfortable, and genuinely you. You’ll laugh, move, connect, and fall into the moment instead of overthinking it.
One moment you may be laughing so hard you can’t breathe, the next you may lock eyes and be drawn into something quieter, softer, and more intimate.
I’ll be there to capture it all as it naturally unfolds.
The results?
No stiff poses. No forced smiles. No wondering what to do with your hands.
Just photos that not only look beautiful… they feel like you.
If you’re looking for perfectly posed, super traditional wedding photos… I might not be the best fit.
But if you want real, in-the-moment, emotional images that reflect who you actually are as a couple?
You’re probably in the right place.

I AM A PROUD MEMBER AND SUPPORTER OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITy.
I love being able to call myself a queer wedding photographer in West Virginia.
I believe that love is love and same-sex couples are valid as fuck. I happily illustrate love stories for the gals, gays, and theys.
More than just a photographer, I’m your built-in support system for the entire day.
From our first conversation to final gallery delivery, everything is designed to feel easy, organized, and genuinely stress-free.
I help you build a timeline that actually works, provide a family photo template so nothing gets missed, and share a wedding planning guide full of tips and ideas to make the process smoother.
On your wedding day, I’m not just there taking photos. I’m pinning boutonnieres (because the groomsmen never know how to do it themselves), fixing stray hairs caught in eyelashes, tucking tags and straps, keeping things on track, and stepping in with direction when you need it without pulling you out of the moment.
So instead of worrying about how you look or what comes next, you can stay present, soak it all in, and trust that everything important is being taken care of.
Most couples invest $3,999–$5,999 for 6-12 hours OF wedding day coverage.

You deserve photos that capture the magic of your wedding day.
- The way your eyes well with happy tears as you meet each other at the altar.
- The tender look in your partner's eyes as you exchange rings, sealing your promises with a kiss.
- The look of pure joy on your partner’s face as you share your first dance as a married couple, lost in each other’s embrace.
- The bursts of laughter when your best friends share those unforgettable, lighthearted stories and inside jokes during the toasts.
- The spontaneous dance-off that erupts on the dance floor, where you’re surrounded by the people who love you most.
Let me take care of preserving these beautiful, fleeting moments, so you can immerse yourself in the magic of your day, knowing your love story is being captured with care and artistry.
"Despite it being a torrential downpour on our wedding day, she did a wonderful job of getting as many pictures as possible and making the rain/fog/clouds work in our favor for the pictures. We will forever keep these pictures and have received SO many compliments on them from our friends and families."
