I'm a Connecticut-based film photographer focusing on small weddings, elopements, portraits, and travel. I started on film in high school, got a BA in photojournalism, diverted from photography for a few years to get my MS in Interactive Media & Communications, then naturally fell back in love with photography. I have multiple disabilities, including Cerebral Palsy, epilepsy, endometriosis, and POTS, so I often document my life with disabilities as well!

About this set
These are photos I took of my own elopement in Las Vegas at Sure Thing Too!
Why I shoot film
I shoot film because it is the closest representation of how I actually perceive the world with Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS). VSS is a neurological condition that causes constant static, or tiny moving dots over everything I see, much like film grain. Digital images, with their smooth, hyper-clear precision, feel artificial to me because they lack the texture, depth, and movement that are part of my everyday sight. Film embraces imperfection, and its natural grain mirrors the static I see, making images feel like an everlasting moment in time. My editing style also reflects my vision, with more muted yet true colors and contrast due to the grain.
