I’ve always been drawn to stories – the kind that live in quiet moments, meaningful glances, and the spaces between words. Long before I ever painted weddings, I was writing children’s books, illustrating scenes, and chasing light with a camera- building worlds where emotion mattered just as much as beauty. That storytelling lens still shapes everything I create today.

I specialize in live wedding paintings now, but before I starting painting weddings, I had 15 years of experience photographing weddings and elopements, I bring a deep understanding of wedding-day flow, emotion, and fleeting moments- which means I know exactly when the magic happens, and how to translate it into art.

Early in my career, I completed an internship at Brides magazine, where I developed a strong foundation in editorial storytelling, timeless aesthetics, and what truly resonates with couples. That experience still influences my work today- from composition and pacing to how I think about heirloom art versus trends.
