hey, I'm Gen
And I'm not your everyday wedding photographer.
You've been imagining your wedding for years. A day filled with laughter, happy tears & so much dancing.
What you aren't imagining is endless hours of posing for photos, or the same cookie-cutter images that every other couple has.
I believe in loving wildly, laughing with your soul and being completely and totally you. And my kick-ass couples cherish people over things, never compromise on who they are, and believe in the legacy of memories.
Sound like you?

Here's my story!
Back while planning my own wedding we struggled to find a photographer who felt like us. Every portfolio looked stiff, posed, and exactly the same! And my husband Jeff & I are anything but cookie-cutter!
We love tabletop games, and adventure and being complete goofballs. And we wanted to enjoy our wedding and not spend hours posing for photos! When we finally found our photographer, we felt comfortable being ourselves, and years later those photos still feel honest and true to who we are.
That experience shaped the way I document weddings today. It’s why I’ve created a relaxed, fun experience for couples who care more about experiencing & documenting real moments than perfectly posed photos.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me hanging out playing board games, playing with our dog Velma, or trying a new restaurant with my husband Jeff & our daughter Addie. I truly believe photography is about preserving life in all its crazy, beautiful, wonderfully imperfect moments — and I’m so grateful I get to do that for my couples.
"She has a way of turning what can be an uncomfortable situation for introverts into a fun experience. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further--Gen is the best!"
My goal is to help you feel fully present while I capture all the genuine connection, joyful chaos, and meaningful moments that make your story uniquely yours.
