SCROLL TO BEGIN ▾
Let's be honest; does anyone really walk into wedding planning with the idea that they want a mediocre wedding? If you're newly engaged, there's a good chance you've already begun to envision the type of wedding that makes you happy. You've got your bride tribe already picked out and the mood for the day you want already set. You have ideas and you're ready to plan your best day!
Bringing that vision to life is where I step in. When the time comes to finding the right photographer (ahem, here I am!), you want someone more than basic and with tons of experience to boot. You're interested in finding someone who will bring your story to life. Someone who knows all too well how precious your story is, and missing no detail or person is at the top of that list. Someone who sees your wedding day as more than a paycheck but as moment to preserve your legacy and milestone for you to relive long after the day has come and gone.
They say 'a picture speaks a thousand words'....which is why having your wedding story told in a way that is authentic to you is important. Having the ability to preserve your story, with all its nooks and crannies, is my promise to you. From the laughter and tears, and all the moments in between, allow yourself the gift of being present on your best day as you get lost in your own magic. Let's preserve your love and legacy for you look back upon. And know you would do it all over again.

Focusing on what matters most to you.
Driven by movement & emotion, I'm inspired by the desire to craft a story that's authentic to you and brings your love story to life. I want to blend all the formalities that comes with a wedding along with the organic moments that tells a story that is dynamic, editorial, and full of emotion. Let's have fun, but keep it cool too. Skip the cheesy stuff and just be you.
“We couldn't be happier with the magic she captured.”

I'm Summer. My approach?
MORE OF YOU,
LESS OF Me.
I 'm a wife and mother. I like lazy Saturday mornings with a cup of coffee. I prefer nights on the couch with my family, but also enjoy craft beers and apps in a swanky bar. I love being outdoors and I'm eternally grateful I get to experience all four seasons! I dig personal touches & homemade items over commercial goods. Admittedly, I also love shopping on Amazon Prime.

Threatening skies and humid temps didn't stop these two from celebrating with family & friends on a private property upstate New York, deep in
the Adirondacks.
