FOR THE NOSTALGIC LOVERS WHO WANT TO BE PRESENT

Documentary & editorial style wedding photography

Kansas City Wedding Photographer

You’ve waited years to feel this kind of love — the kind that makes your everyday moments feel real. The kind that roots you to the people you cherish most. The kind that deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.

As a Kansas City wedding photographer, my approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a nostalgic, editorial edge, giving you timeless photos that feel like your favorite movie — warm, romantic, and honest.

No forced poses. No production-like energy.
Just your real connection, beautifully photographed.

Not stiff, not staged — just real moments.

You deserve imagery that feels like a memory — honest, warm, nostalgic.

  • the way he squeezes your hand before the first look
  • the deep breath your mom takes before she zips your dress
  • the quiet moments that unfold before the big ones
  • the energy in the room when your people see you together

I photograph your day the same way I’d want mine documented: with intention, with care, and with an eye for the emotional details that truly matter. My style blends natural, true-to-color editing with a moody, nostalgic warmth — giving you images that feel like memories you can step back into.

Documentary photography isn’t about staging perfection — it’s about noticing what most people overlook:

I want you to feel your day again — through cinematic storytelling, intentional direction when you need it, and a deeply present approach that keeps things natural and grounded. I believe your wedding day isn’t a production. It’s a sacred beginning — a covenant. With a Christ-centered, intentional approach, I honor your story while preserving it with the artistry and care it deserves. My approach blends intentional artistry with genuine storytelling and editorial moments — so you can relive your wedding day exactly as it unfolded: cinematic, timeless, and true. I focus on creating an experience where you feel comfortable in front of the camera, allowing real moments to lead. The result is a gallery rooted in honest emotion, not awkward, prom-posed images.

We had the absolute BEST experience working with her!! She is highly professional, takes amazing pictures, and is overall a super fun person to work with."

With a  “fly on the wall” documentary approach,I give you space to be fully immersed in your wedding day. I gently guide you when needed but let moments unfold naturally. Expect movement, genuine interaction, true-to-life color, direct flash, and film-inspired edits. You will also walk away with 10+ Polaroid photos at the end of the wedding day as a keepsake! You don’t have to perform for the camera. I’ll help you feel comfortable while capturing the quiet, emotional, in-between moments that make your story yours. Because your love isn’t meant to be staged — it’s meant to be lived.

No stiff, over-edited galleries — just honest, cinematic storytelling.
