Paragraph
I got married young (22!) and that season gave me a whole new perspective on weddings. It showed me how important it is to feel heard, prepared, and assured that moments are captured the way you imagined. I know how much these memories matter because I know what it feels like to wish you had just one more photo or clip of a moment you loved.
That’s why I care so much about how my couples feel, not just what their photos and videos look like. When you feel comfortable, guided, and confident, you start enjoying the moment instead of worrying about the next one.
But what really shaped how I serve my couples was becoming a bride myself.
I picked up a camera long before I ever imagined it would be my job. Growing up, I was always the one making my family and friends star in little photo and video projects we still laugh about today. What started as curiosity eventually turned into something I couldn’t put down.
I CARE BECAUSE I CAN RELATE.
(and you!)

2026 TRAVEL SCHEDULE
And if I already happen to be headed your direction, you might even save a bit on travel fees. Honestly, it just makes saying yes that much easier. Here is where I’ll be and where I’d love to go:
You won’t ever hear me complaining about traveling outside Minnesota for a wedding. Since many of my couples are getting married elsewhere, I’ve come to see every trip as a new little adventure.
Name the place, and I’m there!
While Bemidji, Minnesota, is home, I’m always ready to pack my bags and follow wherever your love story unfolds. Here are a few of my favorite places in the U.S. to capture weddings and engagements in photo and film:
