Meet sylvia
it's all about
your people
Back when Javan and I were planning our Wisconsin wedding, one of the first conversations we had was about how important it was to celebrate with our people. You know - the ones who had made us who we are, supported our relationship, and who we'd be lost without. We knew we wanted to prioritize loving on them, being fully present with them, and expressing gratitude toward them throughout the entire process.
Everything I do as a wedding photographer is with that in mind. I pride myself on know the right times to direct or pose, and the right times to step back - camera in hand, of course! That means that you get to be fully present. You get to feel the ground beneath your feet, kiss each other deeply, and soak in every precious memory with your most important people. So your biggest worries? Not happy-crying off all your mascara and tending to your sore ribs after a day of laughter!

Sylvia got to know us as a couple. It wasn’t just about the day of, it was about learning what was important to us an incorporating it into our photos. She has a real passion for this and I would recommend her 100 times over.

I stand by my values...
My family - and my extended heart family - is full of people in the LGBT+ community, people of different religions, different languages, and different races. And it's full of love, acceptance, curiosity, and respect. I will never discriminate against any individual on the basis of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, disability, national origin or sexual orientation.
love is love
people are what matters
Never stop learning
The two of you are my #1 focus on your wedding day. And your close family and friends are my #2 focus. I make it a priority to know who your "wedding VIPs" are - the people you're most excited to celebrate with - and to treat them like my own family. We will never force posed photos over important moments with you VIPs - even if that means changing the written plan!
After 7 years, close to 150 weddings, and countless hours of education, I will never pass up an opportunity to experiment, learn, and grow in my craft. As the old song goes, "the more I see, the less I know." The art I create doesn't happen by accident. The experience you receive doesn't come out of thin air. I will always be a student.
