Travel has always been one of my greatest passions, and over the years I've had the privilege of photographing weddings across the United States, from Alaska to New York. Whether you're celebrating close to home or in a place that's meaningful to you, I'll bring the same personalized experience, thoughtful guidance, and genuine approach to every destination while preserving your story in a way that feels true to you.
destination Wedding Photography
The best photographer for your wedding isn't always the one who lives closest. It's the person whose work makes you feel something, whose approach puts you at ease, and whose experience gives you confidence throughout the day. When you find someone you genuinely connect with, distance simply becomes part of the journey. Whether your celebration is across the country or somewhere you've always dreamed of saying "I do," I'll arrive prepared, invested, and ready to document it with the same care I'd give a wedding in my own backyard.
The right photographer is worth the journey
Choosing the right photographer is about more than location
I'll handle the details so you can focus on celebrating.
From navigating travel logistics to photographing in new locations & lighting conditions
My approach
I feel incredibly fortunate to photograph weddings in two places that have shaped my story. I return to Chicago several times each year and am always looking forward to documenting more celebrations throughout California, including San Diego, Laguna Beach, and Santa Barbara. No matter where your wedding takes place, I'd love the opportunity to be part of it.
