Minnesota and destination wedding photographer
distinct perspective
for the way it felt
Working with me means inviting in someone who is there to create, not simply document. Anyone can photograph how a wedding looked, but my purpose is to preserve how it was felt by the people living it. Every wedding I take on is approached with the intention of creating timeless art, imagery that grows more valuable with time. Your gallery is built on the strength and reliability
of digital photography, while elevated by the depth that film brings. My goal is to deliver a collection that feels both refined and deeply human, polished yet alive. If you look through your gallery and feel transported back into the emotion of the day, while also seeing your story as something beautiful and lasting, then I will have succeeded in my job.
(the process )
01. Connect
02. vision and planning
03. wedding weekend
04. portfolio delivery
We begin with an introductory call or coffee to connect, understand your vision, and ensure we are a good fit for working together. This is a space to talk through your story, your priorities, and what matters most to you in your wedding day experience.
This includes a relaxed engagement session along with ongoing communication to refine your vision and finalize your timeline. A detailed questionnaire is also provided to help shape the day with clarity, intention, and cohesion.
By this point, I have a clear vision for your day and work closely with your coordinator to ensure everything flows seamlessly. This is where preparation turns into real moments, and I focus on documenting it with care and intention.
This is the best part. Your personalized, high quality gallery delivered online. If you selected film as a part of your experience, you'll also be mailed your negatives and prints to cherish forever.

( common questions )
Do you travel for weddings?
Often and happily! Whether it’s Provence, New York, or somewhere quieter, I love photographing love in both familiar and foreign spaces.
How many images do we receive?
Every wedding is different, so the amount of photos I deliver varies. However, I typically deliver 60-90 images per hour.
What do you charge for a wedding?
My wedding packages with film photography start at $3,950, with the average investment being $5,250. Check out my pricing guide for more information.
Do you offer film?
Yes. Over the years, film photography has become an important part of a portfolio. It's included in all packages longer than 8 hours.

I do. A 25% retainer secures your date, with the remaining balance divided into three equal, thoughtfully spaced payments leading up to your wedding.
