a documentary forward approach

I value candid imagery and raw emotion and will therefore always allow you and your guests the space to absolutely and undeniably, be yourselves. I want to encourage you to fully live out the moments of your wedding day over banging out a shot list. You can expect the majority of your images to almost look like I was a fly on the wall, for them to display how the day was. At the same time, during certain portions of your day, I will step in when needed to guide you (like couples portraits) while still having the goal of these images to feel and look natural, romantic and again, an accurate depiction of your relationship! That way, when you look back at this day, it feels like you're reliving that exact moment and the way you felt... not a bunch of staged moments that made your wedding day feel like an all day photoshoot.

I’ll support you all the way through

"Whitney is incredible and an absolute rockstar! She truly is the best out there. Whitney captured our 6/20/24 wedding and we’re blown away with the results. Her work is stunning and she genuinely captures who you are as a couple. She created art that we’ll proudly hang on our walls and send to friends and family. Most importantly she perfectly captured memories that we’ll look back on forever.

Not only is she a supremely talented photographer, but she genuinely cares about her couples and takes the time to get to know you. Even though we had just met in person for the first time on wedding day, it felt like we had known each other for much longer.

My husband and I owe our dream ceremony to Whitney. About an hour before the ceremony it started storming. While we were being pushed to move the ceremony inside, Whitney fought in our corner and insisted we wait out the rain. She was right! Five minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start, the sky opened up to blue long enough for the ceremony to happen.

There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to Whitney. If you’re considering other photographers, stop, there is no one better."

You will never just be another wedding to me

"Whitney is WONDERFUL--When my now husband and I decided to go the elopement route, she was there for us every step of the way. She listened to the things that were important to us and then helped us curate a day that felt completely authentic to us. When elopement day came, she not only delivered from a photography standpoint, but felt like a mix between our sherpa and guardian angel for the day. She cued us perfectly and put us at ease as she snapped away. Soon after the day wrapped up she delivered with amazing preview images that we were absolutely floored by. We will be forever thankful for how she perfectly captured our elopement day."
