Elopements

I define documentary photography as an unstaged, hands-off approach that captures genuine, raw, and emotional moments as they naturally unfold. I focus on authentic storytelling and “in-between” moments, working discreetly to allow subjects to be themselves rather than directing or posing them.

I studied documentary photography in both undergraduate and graduate school. My work centered around my passion for sub-cultures and the celebration of individuals and communities outside of the mainstream and norm. I learned to ensure that everyone I photographed felt trusting, comfortable and at ease with me. I ensure they didn’t feel observed and exploited but instead seen. That same philosophy is how I approach each and every wedding I photograph today.

I have found that the most flattering photographs are the ones without any interference, performance or posing. By catching a genuine and emotional moment and using my experience and skills as a photographer, I am creating an artful image that highlights your beauty.

I completely understand and feel the same way when I’m on the other side of the camera. To put you at ease, I’ll share that my portfolio is made of individuals who felt the same way. I promise our time together will be comfortable and centered around your experience. I’ll help ensure you can forget about the camera, be present and not feel performative. When you don’t feel that you’re being photographed, you can’t hate it.

I understand the importance of family photographs and always ensure you have as many (or as few) portraits as you’d like. I’ll help you decide when they can take place for the least amount of impact on your day and will take the lead to ensure it is an enjoyable, relaxed and efficient experience. Each portrait will be well lit and loved by every generation.

For the majority of the day (sometimes all of it!) I am using ambient light to photograph. This approach is not only less obtrusive, it also reflects how your day felt.

Of course! I celebrate BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent and ALL individuals and couples from all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds. I am neurodivergent myself with a complex story that allows me to relate to others in a deep way. The human experience fascinates me and I’m very grateful that I can use my camera to show and record its complexity and beauty.

Absolutely! Though I’m based in Boston I regularly photograph throughout New England. I’m open to other regions/locations as well.

I always ensure you receive an exceptional curated gallery of quality photographs. To achieve this, my regular turnaround time for your wedding gallery is 10 weeks. If you’d like a sneak peek 2 weeks after your wedding, this can be closer to 12 weeks.
