I shoot weddings, elopements, and engagements on a Rolleiflex 3.5F (Zeiss Lens) because slowness builds presence, and presence is where the real photographs live.
I've been shooting on film for over 10 years and have developed a passion for capturing people as they are. All bodies, all cultural backgrounds, all kinds of love welcome here.

The experience
Let's slow things down a bit.
I'm your unhurried second pair of eyes here to catch your moment on your time. As a film photographer, I get to prioritise feeling and presence over perfection. While I prefer to capture your candid moments - I always aim to capture your joy.
