Documentary, fine art, editorial photography
your wedding day
Your story is one of a kind, and it deserves to be captured in a way that feels effortless and true to you. Maybe you’ve imagined a cozy outdoor wedding surrounded by your favorite people, or perhaps your heart is set on a quiet elopement in a breathtaking, scenic spot. Whatever your vision, my goal is to make your day feel relaxed, fun, and filled with moments that truly matter.
To bring your story to life, I blend dreamy, editorial poses with a natural, documentary style that captures the day as it unfolds. Think timeless portraits paired with those unplanned, unscripted moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, and the little things you didn’t even know were happening. Together, it creates a collection of images that feels authentic, meaningful, and beautifully you.

Making It Seamless
The Moments I’m Here For
Your wedding is about more than just the big moments—it’s about the connections, the joy, and the energy that make it truly yours. My focus is on capturing the laughter and love you share with your guests, highlighting all the thoughtful details, and documenting every part of the celebration—from quiet, intimate moments to the magic on the dance floor. With gentle guidance, I’ll help you feel confident and at ease in front of the camera, so you can stay grounded and fully present as your story unfolds.

I quite literally can not speak highly enough of Debbie! She is unbelievably talented behind the camera, but she's also the kindest soul around. My husband and I did an ocean front shoot with her and it was AMAZING!!!! My mind was, is, and will forever be blown with the images she documented.
She made us both feel so comfortable, gorgeous, and madly in love. It honestly felt like a date (with of course a third wheel, haha). Being a photographer myself I always wonder what kind of images I will receive at the end. I seriously was so in love with everything that she delivered.
