I’ve seen it happen so many times. A bride missing her entire cocktail hour because no one knows how to bustle the dress and the complicated button-and-thread system is taking forever to sort out.

BEHIND THE LENS 

ABOUT BRITTANY

After 14 years and over 300 weddings, I've created an experience that is completely unfussy and truly irresistible.

Exceptional, gorgeous photography should be honest, playful and celebratory. I’m passionate about infusing cozy hospitality and warm humor into all the pockets of my life, photography included. It’s been a thrill to see my work featured in magazines and online, but I’m proudest of all the brides who turned into friends. From the first email to the final sparkler exit, I make the juice worth the squeeze. Promise.

I'd love to hear from you! I take a limited number of wedding commissions annually - most clients reserve my services a year in advance. Every proposal is customized based on your day, vision, and needs.
