For nearly eight years, I edited my work in a way that I always described as unique.

Everyone else described it as moody.

And if I’m being completely honest… that label never sat right with me.

I never saw my work as dark or heavy. I saw creamy skin tones, and muted backgrounds that let my couples stand out. But for a long time, the industry (and the internet) made it feel like there were only two categories:

bright and airy
or
dark and moody

And I didn’t fully feel like I belonged in either one.

But over time, something started to shift — both in me and in the couples I serve. I found myself slowly moving toward a more true-to-color approach to my wedding photography — one that felt more honest to what the day actually looked and felt like.

What I Started Noticing

As the years went on and more Gen Z couples entered the wedding space, I began hearing more and more feedback around color.

Couples were craving images that felt closer to real life.

Not overly warm.
Not desaturated.
Not stylized in a way that changed the feeling of the day.

And the more I listened, the more I started to understand it.

This generation grew up documenting their lives constantly. They are used to seeing their memories instantly, in color, in real time. So when they receive their wedding photos, they want them to feel like an extension of that memory — not a reinterpretation of it.

And honestly… that started to resonate with me, too.

The Moment It Clicked

Couples spend months designing their weddings.

They carefully choose:

• the exact shade of their bridesmaids dresses

• the tone of their florals

• the color palette of their table design

• the overall feeling of the day

And I had this realization:

If color matters that much while they’re planning… it should matter just as much in how it’s preserved.

With a heavier stylistic edit, those colors shift. Greens become muted. Florals lose their original tone. The entire palette subtly changes.

With a true-to-color approach, you get something different:

You get your wedding — as you remember it.

The green is still green.
The aspens are still golden yellow.
The florals look like the florals you chose.

So I Tested It

Last spring, I made the shift.

I re-edited my work in a true-to-color style and began showing all my 2025 couples side-by-side comparisons:

my previous edit
vs
the true-to-color version

And I asked them one simple question:

“Which editing style resonates with you more?”

The result?

100% of couples chose true to color.

Every single one.

Even couples who originally said they booked me for my “moody” work ultimately chose the version that felt more like their real memories.

That was the moment the decision was made for me.

Where I Stand Now With My True-to-Color Wedding Photography

As of 2026, I have fully embraced a true-to-color editing style.

Not because it’s trendy.
Not because I felt pressure.
But because it aligns with:

• what my couples value

• what feels honest to their day

• and what feels most timeless years from now

For my clients, this style feels modern, emotional, and true.

It allows your wedding to look like your wedding — not like a filter placed on top of it.

If You Loved My Old Work…

I still bring the same things to your wedding day that my couples have always trusted me for:

• natural, guided posing that feels like you

• emotional storytelling

• an eye for the in-between moments

• calm, confident direction when you need it most

The heart behind my work has not changed. But the golden Aspen trees will now look as golden as you remembered them. And the lush green hillsides will really show off the landscape you dreamed of having in your photos.

And if you’re new here

If you’ve found me because you’re drawn to images that feel vibrant, natural and full of life…then you’re in the right place. Your wedding is such an enormous life event. You deserve to remember it exactly the way it felt.
