REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE...

FALLING

in love?

The excitement, the calm, the quiet knowing that you found your person? That’s the feeling I hope to preserve through every photograph.

Because the moments that matter most deserve to be remembered with beauty and heart, captured with care, and told in a way that feels elevated yet deeply personal. Where every image reflects not only how your day unfolded, but the emotion behind it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE

Your wedding photographs should feel like more than just images, they should hold the heart of your story. My approach blends calm direction with genuine connection, helping you stay fully present while I document with artistry and care. Using both film and digital photography, I balance artistry and precision, capturing fleeting moments and thoughtfully composed details with an editorial eye for light, texture, and timeless design.

A luxury experience from beginning to end with unparalled service and a process that is grounded in artistry, intention, and joy.

What makes the MPP experience different is how personal it feels. I believe true luxury lies in attention—to detail, to emotion, to you. Every step is guided by care and refinement, ensuring your wedding day feels beautifully supported from start to finish.


would be the biggest understatement. I have so much gratitude for you.

To say that you made everything a dream

I will forever be thankful.

A SLOWER WAY OF SEEING

where beauty is never rushed

Shooting on film invites me to slow down and create with intention, but more than that, it brings a depth and richness that digital simply can’t replicate. Film captures light and color in a way that feels soft, nostalgic, and effortlessly beautiful, turning fleeting moments into heirlooms. It’s a medium that reflects my love of craftsmanship, artistry, and images that feel as timeless as the memories they hold.
