Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

Roost Photography was born from a sudden epiphany: A lot of my friends’ wedding photos sorta suck.

My friends were amazing humans, fun and full of life, but their wedding photos were underexposed, out of focus, and - worst of all - boring!

Soon after, I changed careers and founded Roost because every couple deserves fantastic photos and a photographer who is excited to tell their story. I love having a front-row seat as couples celebrate their engagement and wedding. I love being there to capture the love, laughter, and moments that matter. My work is a mixture of artistic composition, natural posing, documentary instincts, movement, and FUN!

Behind the scenes, our family is five humans and one dog living in the amazing community of East Tosa. We are a wedding photographer married to an L&D nurse raising three teenagers and one Vinny (our very furry Ttoodle (Tibetan Terrier/poodle). In 2019, we bought a big, old duplex in Tosa that we are slowly renovating into our dream home. When I am not taking photos, you will find me renovating our house, listening to vintage vinyl, reading fantasy books, running, hiking in the mountains, or sampling tasty beers and bourbons. 

For as long as I can remember, I have loved taking photographs. Throughout my childhood, I would steal my dad’s Minolta 35mm and use all his film. In middle school, I had a vintage Polaroid camera and was always running out of film. My high school graduation gift from my parents was a 35mm camera that I used so much that it wore out in 13 months. My cameras these days don’t run out of film, last longer, and are much nicer - but the lifelong passion for chasing light and freezing moments of time keeps growing.
