I find joy in finding and creating beauty all around me. I hold the belief that we are all doing the best we can at any given moment, and that our authentic selves are better than any glamorized version. I am based in Salt Lake City, Utah but my work has me documenting stories around the country. I shot my first wedding in 2009, launched my business in 2015, and graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2016.

I believe that weddings are about real moments and real people. I approach a wedding day in a photojournalistic style, letting moments unfold and letting people be themselves. I don't believe that beauty and reality are mutually exclusive-- to me, they go hand in hand. Real enough to make you feel something, beautiful enough to hang on your wall. I don't believe that weddings need to be exceptional, extravagant, or perfect in order to make great photographs. In fact, some of my favorite work has come from the simplest of weddings.
