invest in your love story

the untamed experience

creating art with you & for you.

 

 

your love story is my inspiration, no matter what that looks like. every love story is different and deserves to be captured in an authentic, timeless way.

from candid moments, to unique expressions of your relationship; it's a truly special collaboration of love and art.

 

 

 

intentionality & guidance.

each moment we are together will be full of intentionality. I will never leave you wondering "what's next" and will always be there to support and guide you. No awkward 'what do I do with my hands?" moments here.

With a down to earth and intentional approach.

I love random chats about life, traveling and creating art. As soon as we connect, I can promise you 2 things - laughter as well as beautiful photos that we’ll create together. At untamed hearts, we believe your images be real life, raw moments that tell the story of your day in a way that feels elevated, intentional and full of movement. It's more than just taking photos, it's a collaboration.


In the end, all I want you to think about is savoring the moment. It’s with this focus that your wedding photographs will showcase romance, unity, and genuine

connections. I cannot wait for you to celebrate with your favorite people, and then to relive it all through the photographs.


INTENTIONAL MOMENTS

by focusing on nurturing intentional, real wedding day moments, I'm able to create images that will evoke feelings of joy through generations. Photos that will be brought out and passed around in 30 years, just like your grandparents wedding albums.


A gift I attribute to shooting film for over 15 years, is that I am always looking for those in between moments - deep belly laughs, whispers at the alter and stolen glances, jokes amongst friends (old and new!)


HONEST INTERACTIONS

with a mix of candids and guided imagery, I aim to give you the confidence to be yourselves in every moment and interaction. One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is watching all of your loved ones coming together to celebrate you -- meeting for the first time, forming connections and memories... all because of you two!


fully in love, fully present & fully you.

finding your dream photographer should feel like finding a friend

When it comes to choosing a wedding photographer, it's not just about finding someone who can capture the perfect shot. Personality is just as crucial in ensuring your big day goes smoothly. The search for the ideal photographer often involves navigating through various factors such as budget, style, and, most importantly... compatibility!

For me, it's about more than just taking pictures; it's about being there for you in every possible way. From wiping away tears to fixing hair and makeup, from dealing with unexpected issues to ensuring you have those precious moments alone with your partner.

I strive to be not just a hired vendor, but a trusted friend! Amidst the whirlwind of the wedding day, it's those intimate moments that truly matter, and I'm committed to helping you cherish every single one.

Because at the end of the day, it's not just about documenting a wedding—it's about celebrating your love story and remembering one thing...
