Small weddings, elopements, and events photographer in Portland, Oregon.

Intimate Celebrations

Intimate celebrations are my jam. There’s a special kind of honesty in small gatherings—and an enormous amount of love. That richness of emotion and intention creates beautiful memories - and photographs - that truly last. I approach these moments with both respect and inspiration, capturing images that elevate your memories into timeless art.

Weddings and Elopements

Whether it is a courthouse wedding, an intimate backyard ceremony, or a gathering of friends and family at a park, my work is to notice the poetry of the in-between: the breath before the vows, the crumpled napkin beside the cake, the way the light wraps around you. It’s your aunt going for those shots, your uncle telling another dad joke, the flower girl sneaking frosting when she thinks no one’s watching.

I don’t direct your day; I document it. Because when it’s all said and done, the best photographs aren’t the ones where everything looks perfect — they’re the ones that make you feel seen.

Other events

Baptisms, birthdays, living funerals, vow renewals — all in between. These events tend to have a little bit of everything: laughter, emotion, maybe someone spilling a drink (there’s always one). I follow along and catch the real moments as they happen — the side-eyes, the hugs, the questionable dance moves, and all the deep, real love. Basically, if it makes you laugh or cry later, I will photograph it.

Documentary Style Event Photography

If the thought of posing in front of camera makes you overwhelmed, this is for you. I believe that my job is to artistically document your event, not to BE the event. This means that I do minimal to no posing. The only posed photos I’ll take are the ones we’ve planned together in advance. Other than that, you can be present and enjoying your perfect moment, knowing I am making sure you will always be able to remember it.

And no pictures are better than those filled with genuine emotion and real connection.
