If you've been around here for a while, you know I have a hard time putting my photography into one neat little box… But recently, I was approached by a group that made it too easy to pass up! I have some news I’ve been excited to share: I’m now a featured vendor with Rocky Mountain Bride, the regional wedding resource that’s been guiding couples across the Mountain West for years.
You can see my vendor feature on Rocky Mountain Bride here, complete with a gallery of recent work, a few kind words from past couples, and some behind-the-scenes answers about how I shoot.
Why this one feels right
Rocky Mountain Bride has a point of view I admire. It’s less cookie-cutter wedding-industry and more real weddings, real people, real taste. That’s exactly the kind of couple I love working with: the ones who’d rather get married in their parents’ backyard or throw a party in the back room of their favorite restaurant than recreate something they saw on Pinterest.
For Couples Who'd Rather Live It Than Pose for It
One of the questions Rocky Mountain Bride asked for my profile was what kind of couples I love working with.
Easy: The ones who aren't afraid to do things their own way. The couple getting ready in their own apartment. Getting married in their parents' backyard. Throwing a party in the back room of their favorite restaurant. Whose hobbies, favorite places, senses of humor, and little everyday rituals find their way into their celebration.
They feel strongly that their wedding doesn't need to be some entirely new version of who they are. It can be an extension of the life you've already built together, just a little louder, a little fancier, and with all your favorite people in one place.
What I told them about my work
In my feature, I put it this way: if there’s one thing that’s consistent about my style, it’s my curiosity.
If you’ve followed along for a while, none of this will surprise you. My approach is equal parts documentary instinct and editorial influence. I come from a photojournalism background, I shoot on both film and digital, and I’d rather let the people, personalities, and atmosphere in front of me shape the photographs than force every wedding into the same aesthetic.
Who I’m looking for
Couples with an eclectic sense of style, an unbothered sense of humor, and the confidence to do things their own way. People whose hobbies, favorite places, and little everyday rituals all find their way into the celebration, because the wedding isn’t a brand-new version of who they are. It’s an extension of the life they’ve already built together, just a little louder, a little fancier, and with all their favorite people in one place.
What my couples say
I’m so grateful for the notes past couples shared for my feature. One couple described me as someone who “can lead the day yet go unnoticed,” and another said the unexpected moments I captured “were such a gift” when they went through their gallery. Those candid, in-between moments are why I fell in love with photography in the first place. You can read the full reviews on my Rocky Mountain Bride page.
Planning a funky wedding?
I photograph weddings throughout Arizona, California, NYC, and wherever a good story takes me. If you’re looking for a Phoenix wedding photographer who’ll hang out with your people, know when to step in and when to disappear, and deliver a gallery full of moments you didn’t even know you wanted, I’d love to hear about your day.
And if you’re a couple planning a wedding anywhere in the Rockies or Southwest, Rocky Mountain Bride’s vendor directory is a great place to start building your team.
