Wedding & Elopement PhotographY in Madison, wisconsin
I work with couples who care deeply about how their day feels — and trust that beautiful images will follow.
You care about creating beautiful, meaningful photos—but you also want to actually be in the moment. You want your day to feel relaxed, effortless, and true to you.
Whether you're eloping with just the two of you, celebrating with 50 of your favorite people, or planning something in between, my goal is to capture the real, unfiltered moments alongside the gorgeous, intentional shots you'll love.
As a story-driven photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin—and always ready to travel—my favorite days are set outdoors in stunning natural settings. Days where the landscape matters as much as the celebration.
You’re My Kind of Couple If…
You're drawn to outdoor settings where natural landscapes take center stage
You'd rather read your vows surrounded by nature—mountains, forests, lakes, open skies—than inside a traditional venue
You want the day to unfold naturally, not feel like a production
You're planning a celebration that feels intentional, whether that's 8 guests or 80
You want a photographer who feels like a friend, not a stranger with a camera
Support Beyond the Camera
No matter how much (or how little) you've planned so far—whether your date is a year out or just a few weeks away—I'll meet you right where you're at with guidance that feels personal and approachable.
Think of me as more than just someone showing up with a camera. I'm here to help you feel at ease—from brainstorming ceremony locations and suggesting meaningful ways to spend your day, to building a flexible, photo-friendly timeline that keeps the focus on you two.
Here's what that looks like:
Helping you choose ceremony locations with stunning natural backdrops
Creating a photography-friendly timeline tailored to your day
Offering personalized suggestions for how to spend your time together
Answering any questions that come up along the way
Providing tips to help you feel comfortable and look your best in photos
I'm not here to plan every detail for you, but I'll be in your corner to answer questions, offer resources, and make the process feel less overwhelming. From our first email to your final gallery, my goal is that you feel supported—so your celebration stays intentional, stress-free, and true to you.
WHY I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING OUTDOOR CELEBRATIONS
There's something undeniable about a wedding set outdoors in nature. When the mountains, forests, or lakeside become part of your story—not just a backdrop—the day takes on a different kind of magic.
You're not rushing through a rigid timeline or performing for a crowd. You're grounded in a place that matters to you, surrounded by the people who know you best, soaking in moments that feel real and unhurried.
Add in golden light filtering through trees, a breeze off the water, or the quiet of a mountainside ceremony, and you've got yourself a wedding day you'll want to relive forever.
These are the kinds of days that let you be fully present—where your attention isn't pulled in a hundred directions, and where the emotion you feel is real, not rushed. And those are the moments I want to capture for you. The ones you'll actually remember, because you were in them—not performing for them.
