Hello there! I'm your dedicated photographer, confidante, and fellow connoisseur of fine moments. With a refined approach that is both artistic and personal, I specialize in capturing each exquisite moment with sophistication and authenticity. Based just outside of Philadelphia, I offer premier wedding, engagement, and portrait photography services, focusing on images that are elegantly light-filled, natural, and emotionally resonant.
I am the master of making people feel comfortable and telling the unique and vibrant stories of couples across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and beyond. Every moment I capture is inspired by your love story and the timeless beauty it embodies. Estates, private homes, and wineries serve as stunning backdrops for your wedding day, and you will always find me seeking out the perfect natural light. I am drawn to romantic, outdoor soirées, sophisticated color palettes, and luxurious details and florals.
I specialize in capturing candid, intimate moments where your love shines brightest and you forget I’m even there. My passion is working with couples who are as enthusiastic about celebrating their wedding day with their loved ones as they are about embarking on the grand journey of marriage. I am committed to providing an experience that is as seamless and enjoyable as it is memorable, ensuring your comfort and delight every step of the way.
From our first meeting, I aim to forge a genuine connection, making you feel like you have a trusted friend and ally throughout your wedding planning journey. I am here to listen to your engagement story, to alleviate your stresses, and to be a supportive presence as your wedding day unfolds. My goal is to leave you feeling like you have gained a new family member (me!) by the time your celebration concludes.
Let’s capture your life’s greatest moments so they become your favorite, forever memories.

Ashley E
Ashley E. is one part of our associate photography team, and her photos are romantic, timeless, and natural light-filled.
Ashley has captured couples in love for more than a decade, and she loves witnessing wedding day love stories unfold as she photographs every milestone and candid moment in between. Her favorite part of any celebration is when you and your partner are pronounced as MARRIED for the first time, she cannot wait to watch that moment unfold on your wedding day.
Ashley loves her husband and three kids, her two dogs, donuts, and making her Spotify music collection as eclectic as possible.

Ashley S
Ashley S. is the second part of our associate photography team, and her photos are classic, warm, and overflowing with details.
Ashley fell in love with photographing weddings more than two decades ago, and she’s still just as enthralled with celebrations now as she was when she witnessed her first couple recite their vows. She’s drawn to veils, flowers, stationery, and rings because she has a heart for details, and just like Ashley E., Ashley S. adores ceremonies, too.
Ashley is happily married with three kids, and she’s never met a beach she doesn’t love (Cape May is her favorite close to home). She’s a talented baker, a huge fan of travel, and an adorer of dogs.

At the heart of what I do as a wedding photographer is a deep passion for preserving memories and making couples feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. I understand that the images I capture are not just photographs; they are heirlooms that will be cherished by your family forever. These photos will hang on your walls, becoming a part of your home's tapestry, and they will be treasured by generations to come.
I have a personal connection to the importance of these memories. My grandparents passed down their copy of my parents' wedding album to me, and it remains one of my most cherished possessions. This legacy of love and memories inspires me every time I pick up my camera.
My goal is to capture the authentic moments, the laughter, the tears, and the joy of your special day. I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed environment, allowing you to be yourselves and letting your love story unfold naturally. It's an honor to be part of your journey and to create timeless images that will be a lasting testament to your love and commitment.
