"The way Harper captures all the love you’re feeling and none of the awkwardness is just- *chef’s kiss*. There are no cringy prom poses, no weird acrobatic tricks to get gorgeous photos. She has simply mastered her art."
-Tiffany & Mitchell
"Her attention to detail was incredible"
"Harper truly captured the magic of our wedding day! Her attention to detail was incredible, from anticipating the perfect lighting to seamlessly blending into the background while capturing candid moments. We were constantly amazed by her instinct for finding the most flattering angles and compositions. One thing that truly impressed us was Harper's ability to be discreet. She was always up close in the action, capturing the joy and emotion of the day, yet we barely noticed her presence. This created incredibly natural and authentic photographs. Beyond her artistic talent, Harper was incredibly organized and prepared. We felt completely at ease knowing that she had backup systems in place to ensure the safekeeping of all our precious memories.We cannot recommend Harper enough! Her talent, professionalism, and dedication made our wedding photography an absolute dream. We wouldn't hesitate to choose her again for any future special occasion."

"Thank you for giving us such a priceless gift!"
"Harper did an incredible job on our wedding day! The photos from our November wedding were absolutely beautiful and she managed to capture the most genuine, natural moments that truly tell the story of our day. From the quiet, intimate moments to the laughter and joy- every photo feels like it perfectly reflects the love and happiness we shared with our friends and family.Harper- We are so thankful for your talent, professionalism, and for being such a wonderful part of our special day. These photos will be cherished for a lifetime, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Thank you again for giving us such a priceless gift!"

"Made sure we could actually be with our guests."
"Harper is the absolute BEST, from start to finish! Every interaction with her made me even more confident we chose a true artistic genius. We both felt so comfortable during our engagement pictures, thanks to Harper’s clear directions on posing (something we felt otherwise not equipped for at all ha). As a couple who originally didn’t care that much about engagement pics, we were both truly shocked with how well the pics came out and how natural it both felt and looked! On wedding day she was beyond efficient, which made us both feel at ease and made sure we could actually be with our guests enjoying the day and not stuck doing portraits for hours. Her timeline was immensely helpful and even when we dealt with rain, that could have kept other photographers inside, Harper made sure we picked beautiful but dry outdoor backdrops and kept things moving! I think we got the perfect mix of sentimental shots/portraits and artistic shots, and she ALWAYS captured the joy of the moment either way. I also think her editing just makes everyone look flawless, magical, and angelic without being overly washed out or super obviously edited. If you are on the fence just book her, you won’t regret it :)"

I'm so happy you're here! My style blends timeless composition with a relaxed, intuitive approach that helps people feel seen and celebrated - without the pressure to perform. I believe the best photos aren't always the most technically perfect ones - they're the ones that feel like something. A tear sliding down your cheek, a mid-laugh blur, your hands finding each other without thinking - that's the magic I'm always chasing.
If you care more about how your wedding day felt than how your dress laid when you walked, you're in the right place.
I'm here for the joyful chaos, the little glances, the realness.

BEHIND THE LENS
YOUR EXPERIENCE
Not just how it looked, but how it felt.
Weddings aren’t photoshoots—they’re celebrations you live, not poses you endure.
I’ll drift alongside your celebration, catching the laughter you don’t even realize you’re sharing and those honest glances that happen in between “cheese!” moments. And yes, when it’s time for those frame-worthy, editorial portraits, I’ll gently guide you into poses that feel natural and flattering.
Because your love deserves more than ::just:: pretty pictures.
