More on my story here

I started Five Pines with a deep love for storytelling and an even deeper love for people. I’m not the photographer who shows up with a shot list and checks boxes. I’m the one that slips in like a friend. The one that notices how your partner rests their hand on your back when you’re nervous. The one that gives you space when it’s needed and encouragement when it’s not.

I’m outdoorsy at heart, nostalgic by nature, and deeply invested in making sure your photos feel like you.


New Jersey wedding photographer, mountain lover, road trip fanatic, and hoarder of thank-you notes.
