Your "Heck Yes"Wedding Experience

Your "Heck Yes"Wedding Experience

Your "Heck Yes"Wedding Experience

Cinematic photography and hands-on support for couples who want their day to feel as good as it looks.

For courageous couples who make their own rules

Your wedding day should feel grounding, not like a performance

I believe every couple deserves a wedding day that actually feels good. Not one that checks boxes, meets everyones expectations and leaves you exhausted and disconnected.

Nope, I mean the one that makes you cry silent tears of joy when taking it all in. The kind of day where you're fully present, where you feel seen and celebrated, where your nervous system can actually relax because everything aligns with who you are.

Unconventionally, uniquely, unapologetically you.

Whether that's an adventurous elopement with just the two of you, an intimate gathering of 30 close friends and family, or a joyful celebration with 80 of your favourite people—what matters is that big "HECK YES!" feeling. And that's what I'm here to help you create and capture.

How we'll create magic together

Your wedding is not a photoshoot. It's a feeling. I't a celebration of love and feeling alive. It's a timeless day where you can let go and just be. With each other. With your loved ones. In a safe space without judgement.

Creating this kind of experience starts long before your wedding day—with being grounded in yourself and the relationships with the people surrounding you. Your support system, your tribe, your cheerleaders, your people of the heart.

And here's the key: On you'r wedding day I'll be one of them. Someone who cries with you. Who laughs with you. Who notices what's important to you, which moments matter to you.

The magic happens when you feel seen, heard and celebrated. And that is the kind of space I'd love for us to create.

Here's what that looks like:

01

Understanding you & your vision

You're not just hiring me to show up and take photos. You want someone you can trust with your most precious memories. Communication and empathy are key. So when your day arrives you can just let go and be sure that I'll be at the right place at the right time to capture what means the world to you.

02

Your experience comes first

What matters more is that you actually enjoyed your wedding day. That you could be present and felt like yourself. Of course you'll get stunning photos that beautifully tell your story, I'll make sure of that! But what gives them life? The connection to what you actually felt in the moment. The memories and feels rushing back.

03

I guide only when needed

I'll set up scenes when it helps tell your story. I'll give you prompts that feel natural. But I also know when to step back and let moments unfold on their own. Because the unplanned, perfectly imperfect ones usually become our favourite memories.

The photos that tell your story are

Storytelling takes center-stage. The kind that makes you feel something when you look back at your images years later.

Wether you're eloping just the two of you or having a wedding celebration with all your loved ones: I'm watching for the real moments. The tears, the spontaneous laughter, the quiet glances. The fleeting, in-between moments. My strength is in sensing them, even before they arise. In tune with what truly matters to you.

Are we a good fit?

Are you tired of all the pretending and comparison (social media ugh) and care more about how things feel than how they look to everyone else?

Let's get more specific now

What's kind of wedding are you envisioning?

01

Elopement

your day, your way

up to 8 guests

What if your wedding could be an adventure instead of an obligation?

Eloping means total freedom—you choose the location, the vibe, and who's there (if anyone). No compromises, no people-pleasing, no stress about seating charts. Just an intentional, intimate experience that's completely yours.

Wedding

Celebrate with your fav people

up to 80 guests

Want your favorite people there without all the traditional wedding stress?

Modern intimate weddings are about real celebration—not performance. You get everyone you love in one space, actually enjoying themselves (and you get to enjoy it too). No dusty traditions, no rigid timelines. Just authentic moments, good food, and the people who matter most to share the love.

Not sure which feels right?

That's okay. Reach out and let's talk. Sometimes the best way to figure out what you want is to have a conversation about all possibilities. About what lights you up and what makes you go "ugh, no thanks." No pressure, just a little chat :)
