Love is Magic Photography
FUN, Relaxed, Candid Wedding Photography
Capturing the FEEL and EMOTION of your love story
Having photographed over 200 weddings and almost 20 years in the wedding industry, I have a sense for anticipating moments and I'm sensitive to your needs. I remember a wedding day during a heat wave, it was so hot the cake started melting and leaning. We needed to move things around in the timeline to get the cake cut early. When the DJ went to grab the bride, she was in line at the photo booth with her bridesmaids. After the cut the DJ announced the first dance and began working through the reception traditions.
I noticed the photo booth begin to pack up, so I pleaded with them to stay just so the bride could get one pic with her maids. When they agreed I quickly had the DJ call up the bridesmaids and take a small break from the reception traditions so that the bride could get the photo that I knew she really wanted!
I'm with you all wedding day and that is enough time to see what is really important to you. And if I've done my job correctly, you'll never even know how I helped prevent disaster.

Wedding Experience
the love is magic
I’m a movie buff, obsessed with Harry Potter, Tim Burton and Tarantino films. I quote Movies and TV shows like a second language.
I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I bring that magic and wonder into everything I photograph.
Capturing intimate moments of human connection is what makes my heart beat hardest. I am so passionate and I put so much of my soul into documenting your love story in the most magical and meaningful way.

Wedding Investment
My work is a collaboration, I want to tell your story and I do that best when I know more about you. I like to add a personal touch and do things differently. My couples tend to be sentimental, adventurous and even non traditional, choosing to do activities that feel more personal. And I want to be there to document your story, whether that's morning golf descending into cart races or sneaking away to the hotel room to take a few intimate newlywed pics! I want to give you photos that capture who you are and what your relationship feels like. I am invested in you, your love, and your day.
There’s something magical about gifs and super 8 video, they remind me of the moving paintings in Harry Potter.
