We attract what we put out. That’s a fact.
What are YOU putting out there to the world? What are you attracting, either intentionally or unintentionally?
Me? I’m just here to connect. I believe that with my full heart and full soul. Whether it’s with my camera, or my heart. Working or standing in line and striking up a conversation with someone new, I was made for connection.
I believe we should know the people we choose to work with. Know what they stand for, what their values are. So, I am inviting you in to know me! I believe that love is love, that everyone matters and deserves to be seen. I strive to see the beauty in everyone! It’s there, I promise you.
I believe that lots of things are funny, humor is everywhere! I believe that it’s really easy for people to get stuck and rooted in fear, and so I am working on my empathy and patience to show people grace.
I believe that joy is everywhere! And I also believe that what you look for: YOU SHALL FIND.
So, what are YOU looking for?

It’s the end of the night. I’m in the corner drinking my requisite Diet Coke, packing my gear when my second shooter Greg says- ‘Turn around quick’
I look to see this moment unfolding: the couples grandfather had lovingly picked up his wedding photo with his wife, who had passed away and gently kissed the photo.
He stood there a moment, reflecting. We all stood there in the shadows crying quietly as he gently placed their treasured wedding photo back on the table.
I’ll never ever forget this moment, as a photographer and a human.
This is what it looks like when a room is so full of love that there is no other option but to dance it out!
Shanice and Hoi set the tone from the very first minute on their wedding day. By the time DJ Christie had the floor, literally nobody stood a chance.
I photograph weddings because of moments like these. Not the portraits — though I LOVE those too!! But I love the moments when everyone in the room has completely forgotten there are cameras anywhere and they’re just living inside the best day.
That is EXACTLY what I am here to document.
If your people dance like this… I want to be there, right in the middle of it!

There’s always a moment after the ceremony where the day finally lands.
The vows are done.
The toasts are done.
Everyone around you is celebrating and somehow it is also the quietest your heart has felt all day. Just the two of you, together having a moment.
Tricia and Bill’s Lord Thompson Manor wedding were featured in Connecticut Magazine last summer — and every time I look back at this session I understand exactly why. There is something so beautiful in the way they both look at one another that my camera just gobbles UP!
This is EXACTLY what I am here for.
Very limited 2026 dates available. Now fully booking for 2027 + 2028! Link in bio!

Shanice and Hoi did not shyly whisper their wedding into the room.
THEY ANNOUNCED IT.
Color on the wedding party.
Color in the florals — handmade by Shanice herself.
Color on the cake, the table scapes, the crown she wore like she was born in it. Color absolutely everywhere, and not a single apologetic choice in sight! Boop!
This is a Lord Thompson Manor wedding that felt like a perfect representation of Shanice + Hoi and their full, vibrant life. Like two people who had been waiting their whole lives to celebrate exactly like this, surrounded by exactly these people, and they finally got to!
If you have been quietly wondering whether your wedding can actually look like you — not like a template, not like a mood board you saved but were afraid to commit to — the answer is a full, enthusiastic HELL YES. . And I would love to help you get there and be there for it!
