Real moments. raw emotion. your story, beautifully told.

Documentary Wedding Photography

real. raw. unscripted.

Your wedding day isn’t a checklist... it’s a living, breathing love story. And I’m not here to stage it. I’m here to witness it.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I don’t orchestrate moments - I honor them. The nervous laughter before the ceremony. The way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking. The imperfect, fleeting, beautiful moments you didn’t even know were happening.
This is photography that unfolds with you free of poses, stiff smiles, or forced perfection. I don’t pull you away for formal portraits. I stay present in the story, capturing it as it naturally happens.

The only exception? Elopements. In those quiet, slower-paced hours, I’ll gently guide a few portraits of just the two of you... still relaxed,
still real and nestled into the rhythm of the day.

Because the truth is, you don’t need perfect. You need real.
And when you look back on your images years from now, I want you to feel everything. Just as it was.

After your wedding, you’ll receive a beautifully edited gallery that tells your story start to finish. Expect images full of emotion, texture, and truth—images that bring you right back to how it felt.

The gallery

I won’t be directing or interrupting your flow. No posing, no staged shots, no stepping away from your guests. I’ll blend into the rhythm of your day, allowing you to stay fully present while I preserve the real moments for you.

the day of

We’ll connect beforehand, whether in person or virtually to talk through your day. I’ll ask about timing, meaningful people, and any emotional beats you’d like me to be aware of.

pre-wedding conversation

When you book a documentary wedding session with me, you’re choosing to let go of the pressure to perform, to pose, to be perfect.
Instead, you get to be. I’ll be there quietly, watching for emotion, chasing light, and capturing connection as it naturally unfolds.

what to expect

Absolutely. From your ceremony to your first dance, I’ll be there for every important moment just capturing them as they truly happen, without direction.

That’s the beauty of documentary photography... it embraces the unexpected. Some of the most powerful images are born from imperfect moments.

I offer collections ranging from intimate 2-hour elopements to full 6-hour wedding stories. Each option is crafted to preserve the heart of your day without ever forcing a timeline.

Warm, cinematic, and true to the moment. I aim for timeless tones and subtle textures that reflect the emotion and light of the day.

A signed contract and 20% retainer secures your date. From there, we begin dreaming and planning.

Will we still get photos of all the big moments?

No, I don’t offer formal or posed portraits. My work is centered on honest, unscripted storytelling. If you’re looking for traditional images, I may not be the right fit and that’s okay.
