romantic destination & wisconsin wedding photographer
for couples
who value experiences with their most important people
Most couples worry that they'll feel awkward in their wedding photographs. I say, let's make some magic! I pride myself on knowing when to step in with direction, and when to step out to let you be yourself.
So be present. Laugh too hard. Hold each other too long.
I'll be there to document every second - and to create the dynamic, playful, emotive photographs you've been dreaming of.

your nerdy wisconsin wedding photographer
Depending on the day, you might find me on a mountain top, geeking out about the latest science news, 100 feet deep in the ocean, or rocking out to show tunes with my kiddos.
But some of my favorite days are spent living it up as a wedding photographer in Wisconsin - and beyond - and keep you feeling all the feels every time you see your photos hanging on the wall.
