I never planned on becoming a wedding photographer. When I picked up my first DSLR in 2016, I never imagined photography would eventually become my career.
At the time, I was working in higher education in various administrative roles. While those jobs were good to me, I found myself feeling drained and unfulfilled. I knew I wanted to do something more creative, meaningful, and enjoyable — I just didn’t know what that looked like yet.
Photography slowly changed that. Eventually, it gave me the opportunity to leave my full-time desk job and pursue photography full-time in 2019. I haven’t looked back since.
Ten years into this industry and nearly 200 wedding days later, I still feel incredibly lucky to do what I do. Getting to work with fun-loving couples who are genuinely excited to be married, document some of the most meaningful moments of their lives, and build real relationships along the way is something I never take for granted.
