EXPERIENCE

artistry in the space between

Every wedding is a story in motion

Your wedding is a passage — between what was and what will be — a living, breathing celebration of love, legacy, and the people who shaped you.

We approach it as the crane would: with grace and intention, flowing through laughter, music, and quiet moments alike. Every flicker of light, every breath, every joyful tear holds meaning.

Our work is guided by the belief that beauty lives in truth, and that truth — in all its wild, tender, unpolished glory — deserves to be remembered with artistry..

MEET
BARBARA

My approach is equal parts artistry and empathy. I’ve always been fascinated by the way light tells stories — how a single frame can hold both joy and longing. Photographing weddings allows me to translate emotion into something tangible — an archive of tenderness, texture, and truth. I move quietly, trusting instinct over direction, letting each moment reveal its own rhythm.

Observer of truth, keeper of memory, and believer in the beauty that exists between people.

She brought calm energy

Barbara was able to capture amazing moments that I didn't see because I was so ingrained in the wedding. Because of this now I have my memories captured forever and I'm internally grateful.

Do you shoot film,
digital, or both?

Frequently
Asked

I shoot both film and digital, allowing me to blend the rich, timeless feel of film with the precision and flexibility of digital. Film adds a nostalgic, organic quality, while digital ensures I can capture every fleeting moment effortlessly. This combination allows me to create a collection of images that feel both artistic and true to your day. Digital scans will be delivered in your final gallery.

How many images will we receive, and how long does it take to get them?

You can expect 600–1,200 carefully edited images, depending on the length and scale of your wedding. Each image is thoughtfully selected and refined to tell the full story of your day. My turnaround time is 8–12 weeks, ensuring that every photo is polished and reflects the true emotion and beauty of your wedding.

Where do you travel for
weddings?

I travel anywhere in the world to document love stories. Whether it's a mountaintop ceremony in Colorado, a coastal wedding in California, a European destination, or a private estate celebration, I arrive early to scout locations, assess lighting, and fully immerse myself in the setting. My goal is to capture not just the moments but the atmosphere and energy of your wedding’s unique location.

How do you handle large weddings or multi-day events?

I love photographing big weddings and multi-day celebrations, as they allow for a deeper storytelling experience. Whether it’s a welcome dinner, a cultural ceremony, or a farewell brunch, I ensure every part of your weekend is documented with intention. For larger weddings, I bring in a trusted second photographer to ensure full coverage—capturing both the grand events and the quiet, intimate moments in between. My goal is to preserve the entire experience so that when you look back, you don’t just see the day, you feel it.
