ENDURING PHOTOGRAPHY
Grounded in joy, intention, and artistry.
Artful, emotionally grounded photography for couples who value beauty, meaning, and connection. Blending editorial style with honest storytelling, I document weddings, engagements, and proposals with a calm, intentional presence, capturing real moments, timeless details, and the quiet magic woven throughout the day.
THE MPP WEDDING EXPERIENCE
WELCOME
Welcome friends! I'm so glad you've found your way here.
This season of life is filled with meaning, anticipation, and beauty, and it’s a true honor to be considered to document it for you. I believe your photos should do more than capture how the day looked, they should reflect how it felt. Joyful. Meaningful. Enduring.
This guide was created to walk you through what it’s like to work together, from the experience I provide to the collections I offer. My approach is both artful and grounded, with gentle editorial direction, space for emotion, and an eye for the moments that matter most.
No two love stories are the same, and it would be a joy to help tell yours.
To say that I obsessed with our photos for both is a complete understatement

THE MPP APPPROACH
A PHOTOGRAPHER
by
at
I approach every wedding with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart—quietly observing, gently guiding, and always attuned to the moments that matter most. From the big emotions to the in-between details, I’m there to preserve it all with care and intention.
With a background in fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design and over a decade photographing weddings, my work is rooted in thoughtful composition, emotional depth, and a love for meaningful stories.
You’ll find me offering calm support, joyful presence, and just enough direction to help you feel fully seen and at ease. Every look, every handhold, every fleeting second—it’s all part of your story. And it would be an honor to tell it.
Rooted in art, shaped by story. Photographing love with quiet purpose and poetic vision.

Frequently asked questions
What is your background in photography?
I have a BFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and have been in business for almost 10 years.
Can we do a custom wedding collection?
Absolutely! If one doesn't meet all your needs I can present you with a curated and custom collection based on your wedding day.
How many images will be get in our final gallery?
On average I deliver about 75-90 images per hour that I am photographing. So if you have a 9 hour wedding, typically your gallery will include around 700-800 images.
What is your out of state travel fee?
Because each destination is unique I provide a custom travel quote based on the location and length of stay for the event(s).
Are you a hybrid photographer? How many film images do we receive?
I photograph using both film and digital cameras. While each wedding is different and I chose the medium that will best capture the moment, about 30% of your wedding gallery will be film.
How do we officially book with you?
Once we've had a chance to chat and you've decided on a collection, a signed contract and retainer of 50% of your total wedding collection is required to secure your date.
