connecticut wedding, proposal + Engagement photographer

I am a Connecticut wedding + engagement photographer who loves creating meaningful images throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New England.  I'm a dreamer, down to earth and goofy to my core. I love chatting about passions + hobbies, traveling and creating art. When we meet, I can promise you two things - laughs till your stomach hurts as well as beautiful memories that we’ll create together.


I know how important these moments are — whether it’s your wedding day or a regular session, you’re trusting me with memories that mean the world to you. I don’t take that lightly. From the big, emotional moments to the small, quiet details, I’m there making sure everything is captured with care and intention. You can count on me to bring both creativity and calm energy to your day — someone who’s organized, prepared, and ready for anything while still keeping things fun and relaxed.


My goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in the moment, knowing I’ve got everything handled behind the camera. You deserve to enjoy every second — and I’ll be there making sure those memories are frozen beautifully in time.


photos you can feel


Let every touch become art


For those who cherish the beauty in fleeting moments—the wind in your hair, the gentle brush of his hand, the laughter that turns into tears—I create photographs that bring those emotions rushing back.

When the music fades and the day speeds past, it’s the small, meaningful details that linger and tell the story.
