Collaborative, Personal, Down
to Earth.
Not only is Gill the easiest person to work with AND an incredible photographer, but she was even able to set my camera-shy mother in law at ease! It poured our entire wedding day but you'd never know it from the photos. If we had to do it all over again, it would be with Gillian!!

My Roots
I am the definition of an old soul born in the wrong generation -- a majorly extroverted bolt of lightning with an insatiable soft spot for anything old-school. I love the crackling of a vinyl record and the grain of a photo shot on Portra 400 film. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a hyper-creative with way too much energy to sit still... ever.
What started as a part-time job working for a wedding florist eventually brought me into something that would set my heart on fire. When I became a wedding photographer, I learned that I loved the chaos of weddings, and being a space for calmness for my couples. I enjoyed being around couples who were so jubilant and unapologetically enamored with each other, and close with their families – their people. I wanted to freeze those emotion-packed moments and soak up all the love in the room, the kind you can feel coming off the pages in a wedding album.
The relationship-building, connection-forging aspect to wedding photography quickly became my biggest source of fulfillment and happiness. And, as a queer photographer, working with queer clients quickly began to feel like home. I've met countless incredible and kind humans, and the privilege of being a part of these special, major life events is something I simply wouldn’t trade for anything.
What I do
I am an electric human being with a passion for nostalgia, art, love, community, and human connection. As a wedding and portrait photographer, I thrive behind the lens because I get to use all of those attributes together to create beautiful, moving, powerful images. I like to shy away from trends and create my own unique take on the visual stories that I tell.
What to expect when we work together
I’m not a "single-phone-call-and-call-it-a-day" type of photographer (and really, who wants to be?). I want to truly get to know you and understand the moments of your wedding that are the most meaningful to you. I don't believe in being a stranger with my couples and I ensure a supportive, open line of communication at all times. After all, you are a human and friend before you are my client and you will always feel heard and listened to.
The bottom line is, having your wedding photographed is a vulnerable thing, and working with a photographer who you can trust with all the bits and pieces of your story allows for some real magic to happen. Leaning into the natural unfolding of your day instead of focusing on curated moments allows us to create an unfiltered retelling of your wedding day that feels like soul food every time you look back at your photos. Hire the photographer who has a sixth sense for those fleeting moments so you can save them forever.
