Based in Salt Lake Utah with my main squeeze Ben, our two children, Liv & Finn and our newest addition, Fern, our sweet Goldendoodle. I have been in business since 2010; specializing in both weddings and commercial work. My work has been published The New York Times, Kinfolk Magazine, Inside Weddings, Dear Grey Magazine, Rocky Mountain Bridal Magazine, Once Wed, Style Me Pretty, Carats & Cake and other major wedding blogs in the US. My background in anthropology sparked a love for people and their stories… and I feel most satisfied when I’m able to capture emotion and beauty together. As a claimed lover of the light and dark, I look forward to sharing my approach to embracing light from day to night on a full wedding day.
