About This Vendor
More Than Just "Wedding Photos"
I became a wedding photographer to give couples the option to choose something different. If you like the idea of non-frilly wedding photography inspired by art, cinema, and retro film photography, with no rules about what a wedding "should be," we're probably going to get along. I'm of course going to get the traditional family photos and moments for you. But I focus on the little ones too–the ones that make up the spirit of your day. You end up with wedding photos that don't really look just like wedding photos. I'm there for you from the time we first meet, until your photos are delivered. If you can put your trust in me, I'll put everything into creating the most unique photos I possibly can. Sound cool? Head over to my site and fill out my super fun contact form so we can talk!

My background is in film studies, art history and drawing, which definitely influences the way I shoot. I live in a little apartment with my husband, overrun with books and boxes of tea. Some things I like to do when I'm not shooting: reading graphic novels and cookbooks, hiking, writing comedic prose, watching movies, and quoting Seinfeld. I plan most of my trips and travel around restaurants.
I'm Connecticut-based but I'm a travel addict, so if you're getting married somewhere overseas or across the country, I'm always game!
