How it all started...
As someone who’s basically a Nicholas Sparks novel in human form, I’ve always adored the smell and feel of the beloved pages of a romance story—The kind that makes you squeal and kick your feet in the air, secretly hoping your very own Noah Calhoun will row up in a boat just for you.
Now, cue “Love Story” by Taylor Swift on repeat (because, obviously), and you’ll have the soundtrack to how I fell in love… with love.
Romance and weddings have been my obsession since I was 16—right around the time I “borrowed” my parents’ camera. Let’s be real, borrowed is just a polite way of saying I never gave it back. But hey, I think they’ve forgiven me by now because that little act of teenage rebellion? It turned out to be my life’s purpose—just with a better camera and way less questionable eyeliner.
I see beauty in the smallest things—the sparkle of your rings, the soft rustling of your dress, the laughter shared between best friends—and it’s these details that tell your unique story. With a gentle blend of posing and direction, I’ll make sure you look like the best version of yourselves—without any stiff, awkward moments (unless we’re talking about that one aunt who insists on taking selfies in the background, in which case, it’s okay to embrace it).
My camera is my wand, and I wield it, ensuring every shot is as perfectly lit and framed as the scene itself. But beyond the technicalities, it’s the connection I build with you that makes all the difference. I believe that when you feel relaxed and at ease, your true beauty shines through—and, honestly, less stress means fewer photos with people blinking at the wrong time.
Of course, no wedding is without its little surprises, and I thrive in those moments—whether it’s chasing the perfect light or adapting to unpredictable weather (hello, surprise rainstorm!), I’ve got it covered with a calm, creative spirit. From the anticipation of getting ready to the final dance under the stars, I’ll be there, capturing each fleeting moment so you can relive it forever.
With a deep respect for tradition and a knack for editing with a light touch (because no one needs 20 filters on a single photo), I bring your images to life while preserving their timeless charm. Every wedding is different, and I adore embracing each venue’s personality—whether it’s a grand hall or an intimate backyard celebration. My ultimate goal is to weave your story together in a way that feels as magical as the love you share.
Let me help you preserve your wedding day in photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime—your love, your laughter, your happily ever after (and hopefully a little less stress than you expect).
Folklore Photography wouldn’t be what it is without my other half on this journey....Ryan is the behind-the-scenes wizard at Folklore Photography.
She works her magic to make sure your big day unfolds like a well-told fairy tale—no mishaps, no drama (unless we’re talking about dramatic light, of course). From keeping your glass filled and flowing like a never-ending fountain to making sure your veil stays perfectly poised in every shot, she’s there, weaving a spell of perfection over every detail.
Amidst the wedding day whirlwind, Ryan’s the calm amidst the storm, keeping everything organized and on track, so I don’t end up chasing the groom around like a lost puppy (which, let’s be honest, is a real possibility without her). Whether it’s rounding up the wedding party for group photos or ensuring every tiny detail is in its rightful place, Ryan’s presence ensures the day runs as smoothly as a Disney princess’s grand entrance.
