intimate by design

there’s something special about choosing to keep your wedding close.

​

intimacy gives you freedom. more freedom in how the day takes shape, more room to make it entirely your own, without lowering the bar on a single thing.

​

because freedom doesn’t mean less.

​

an intimate wedding can mean getting married at the courthouse and celebrating afterward, gathering your favorite people around one table, exchanging vows somewhere meaningful to you, or throwing out the traditional wedding day structure altogether.

​

however you choose to do it, i’m paying attention to what makes this day yours. the way your people interact, the nervous energy before the ceremony, what’s happening just outside the frame, the details you chose because you loved them, and all of the little moments you couldn’t have planned if you tried.

​

my approach is a balance of observation and intention. i’ll let things unfold when they’re already perfect as they are, and step in with direction when it makes the photograph better. there’s no need to turn an intimate wedding into a production just because there’s a camera in the room.

​

i photograph intimate weddings and private elopements across arkansas on 35mm film, medium format film and digitally, moving between documentary and editorial depending on what the moment calls for.

​

whether it’s just the two of you, a courthouse ceremony followed by dinner, or a full day surrounded by twenty of your favorite people, your wedding deserves to be documented with the same care, curiosity and intention as any other.

​

intimate was the choice,

not a compromise.
