Mansion Hill Intimate Wedding
I had the pleasure of second shooting alongside AJ Photo Co for Kelsey and Rob’s intimate wedding at Mansion Hill. Kelsey and Rob basked in the warmth of their nearest and dearest while celebrating their love story. There is a unique beauty of small, intimate weddings. The warmth of a small gathering creates an atmosphere of closeness, allowing me to capture authentic emotions and tender moments that make your day so special. The authentic joy and intimacy that radiates from your small wedding, every smile, glance, and embrace is a beautiful part of your celebration.

Documentary Styled Wedding Photography
As a documentary styled wedding photographer, I approach each wedding with an eye for capturing the genuine, unscripted moments that unfold throughout your day. I won’t pose you but I may give you a prompt when needed. My goal is not to pose or stage the moments, but to blend seamlessly into the background, allowing the natural flow of your celebration to unfold. I love to document raw emotions, the intimate exchanges, and the fleeting expressions that altogether tell the story of your day. By remaining an unobtrusive observer, I am able to preserve the authenticity throughout your day, ensuring that you are left with a timeless gallery that truly reflects the memories of your wedding.
