“The photos we received are amazing both for their terrific composition and a reflection of Callie’s uncanny ability to be at the right spot at the right time.”
— Glen + Sara

MY STYLE…

Where intention meets instinct. Think A24 cinematography vibes; with a scoop of timeless, a dash of kitsch and a sprinkle of posterity. Expect images that feel effortless yet elevated combining thoughtful composition, editorial influences, appreciation to detail - all while ensuring your wedding day experience is relaxed, uncomplicated and really f*cking fun

Real moments. Real feelings. Really Rad

By allowing your distinct story to lead the way, I earnestly document the day, embracing the unscripted moments — the wind in your veil, the euphoric blur of the dance floor, the tear filled speeches… honoring the deep stuff, the sweet stuff, the wild and weird stuff . NOSTALGIC - AUTHENTIC - UNDENIABLY YOU!

A B O U T M E … 

Well, I use the words “STOKED” and “RAD” a lot   •  My first musical obsessions were the B-52s and Dee-Lite  • YES I want to see a photo of your dog • PIE IS better than cake  - FIGHT ME!  •  I’ve been documenting couples in love for over 13 years and guess what - it never ever gets old!

GET TO KNOW YOUR GIRL!

A group of five people, including children, is outdoors in a park-like setting with trees and sunlight. They are smiling and appear to be enjoying themselves. One child is wearing a large colorful clown wig, and another is holding a big black hat. An adult man is sitting in a chair holding two children, while two other children are standing behind them.

I will likely cry at your wedding • I will never stop telling you how incredible you both look • I live for all the feelings, fashion and florals • I can’t wait for the dance floor to open • If that is the energy that you are into…

LET’S PARTY!

LET’S DO THIS!

My goal is to create art and earnestly document “HOW IT FELT” through film + digital.
