Several years ago, I begin dabbling in graphic design and photography. I discovered it was incredibly freeing to let my creativity... loosed with a camera. Years later, I went to school for graphic design in England, then later to Amsterdam for a documentary photography school. During this time, I fell in love with this style of photography and realized that the future of my life had taken a turn.
After my time in Europe I came home and began my journey into the world of wedding photojournalism. Now, years later, I have still found there's nothing like telling the story of a wedding day. Its such an incredibly precious moment in time, and I always count it my complete honor and joy to be found along side the bride, groom, family, and friends during the most important day of a couple's life.
Why do I prefer a photojournalistic style over traditional wedding photography? Photojournalistic images are all about capturing the true essence of the day; a story told with pictures. While we still make sure all the formal shots are covered, the overall focus is more on the candid, real moments that count the most.Read More

Band photography got me started as a teenager, but I discovered wedding photography and have not looked back since. Read More

I am a graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in English literature, but have been working in journalism since my freshman year on the copy desk at the Daily Northwestern.
