Photography
This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. In that time, I have met so many wonderful couples, made some long lasting friendship with fellow wedding pros, and photographed some amazing events.
Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. I see myself as more than on a photographer… I’ve sewn broken buttons, put hair back into place, put on about 1,000 boutonnières, and even burped a baby (true story.)
Inclusivity is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that love is love, I believe in equality, I believe that Black lives and the lives of People of Color matter, and I believe that trans women are women and that trans lives matter. I’m constantly working to learn and better myself and look for new ways to further the inclusivity of this industry.
Meeting new clients and forming new friendships is one of the things I cherish about my work life. My favorite clients:
Celebrate the uniqueness of their day
Are down-to-earth
Love to laugh
Know that a wedding day is very organic
Down for all the best photos
Are head-over-heels in love
Home Life
To start, I’ll tell you about my little family: my husband Tommy and our two dogs, Edie and Winnie. Tommy and I just got married on Sept 20, 2019! He owns a men’s clothing store in Irvington called James Dant (yup, two small biz owners!) We are obsessed with our dogs, and have a million inside jokes about them. If you’re a pet parent, I definitely want to see all the photos.
Travel is a big part of our lives. Eating, drinking, and exploring my way through all the cities my adventures take me. I have so many great travel stories (and some really really bad ones too.)
When I'm anxious for a night in, I look forward to watching: The Office, Friends, Parks and Rec, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Frasier, and so many more! If you drop an Office quote on me we will be best friends straight away.
Connecting to my clients on a friendship level makes the day all the more personal to me. All of my couples feel like family, and what a family I have accrued! I’ve been lucky enough to see so many milestones, dance on a lot of dance floors, and eat so much cake!
