I have been a wedding photographer for the last 7 years, and a curious observer my whole life.
Growing up, I was the de-facto documentarian among my group of friends, and I was conscious from a tender age about the importance of preserving a moment. My sentimental outlook and background in Journalism has led me to seek out stories in the world around me, and my education in Fine Art and Design is what has compelled me to tell those stories with a curated eye.
Personally, I am a product of two cultures, having spent half of my life in Australia and half of my life in America. My laid-back Australian upbringing has lent itself to a laid-back approach to life and work, and a love of being outdoors.
Together with my husband and dog I live in a near-original MidCentury Modern home in east Dallas, spending my days scouring Facebook Marketplace and First Dibs, working in the garden and scanning film.
I work with both digital photography and analog film to produce a portrait of your wedding day that feels lived-in and immersive, rather than produced and formulaic.
I look to pair moments big and small with an editorial sensibility and the humble aesthetics of film photography. My favorite images are clever and usually simple, but punctuated by visual metaphor that make them rich with meaning.
Authenticity is important to me, so I prefer to be embedded in a wedding day rather than dictating it. I look at our time together as a collaboration. I will not overcomplicate a moment, or direct when direction is not called for, but I will provide honest and gentle guidance where needed.
My aim is to keep you in the present on your wedding day so you can first and foremost live it.

The Family Photograph Archive
My parents came up in a world I find it hard to conceive of - my Dad watched the moon landing as a child on a black and white television set, and my Mum flew on planes when they still had bars and baby grand pianos on them. So, throughout my life I have referenced the family archive as a way to better understand them and their lives before me.
Through these collected photographs and stories I have learned a great deal about my family. I learned that my Dad has nine lives and that my Mum has been almost everywhere in the world from Irkutsk to the Galapagos Islands. I am only three generations separated from ancestors who forded rivers in a covered wagon, and my maternal grandmother hadn’t had a birth certificate until she was an adult - only her name recorded in the family bible. I have always felt fascinated by my proximity to the recent past.
I have referenced my parents’ wedding album off and on since I was a kid, and their wedding photographs have largely influenced my approach to weddings as a photographer. A balance of slow moments observed and documented artfully, and spontaneous fleeting moments captured in an instant that will live on to show us - and our loved ones after us - “how it was” for a lifetime.
