What Moves Me

What Moves Me

A look behind the lens

I’m what you would call a deep feeler: an INFJ and 4w5 on the enneagram. Basically sensitivity is my superpower! Most days you can find me reading 3 books simultaneously, binging podcasts, or snuggling with my kitty. I love getting dirty in nature almost as much as I love dressing up for fancy dinners (balance is everything, right)? And random tidbit: I did a self-portrait project in college for 365 days in a row to grow as an artist. It helped launch my photo career and you can actually still find my face on a handful of international book covers(!) PC: Cara Mia

Andrew, My Husband and Best Friend.

We met on Match.com 9 years ago and have been partners in crime ever since. He’s not a photographer, but we travel together often and my couples get to know him too. Andrew is that guy who can Macgyver anything and is like a human Snapple cap. He builds custom furniture under his woodworking name Casa Dega Design. Strangers at the airport love to touch his hair. He will faithfully quote movies, carry your bouquet, and run loops around the forest to find your family before the ceremony (that happened). PC: Cara Mia.

Our wedding story

After a 3-year-long engagement and COVID crashing our original plans, we finally eloped in Sicily in fall 2021. It was just the two of us, with my sister and her husband as our witnesses. Two months later, we celebrated with all our family and friends in the desert. We feel so grateful to have experienced the best of an elopement and intimate wedding. It was nothing like what we planned, but turned out even better than we ever could have imagined. So as a wedding photographer-turned bride-turned COVID bride, I really do understand what you’re going through. And I’m here for you for all of it. PC: The Kitcheners
