Shooting film for the rest of my life
My cameras are tools, and my belt holds 10-15 of them at any given wedding to help me capture that ‘Nellie’ vibe.
I've got Polaroids and a few Holgas and medium format cameras and 35mm cameras. I've got manual cameras and cameras I can toss at guests so they can snap their own drunk candids on the dance floor.
I could go on, but I’ll leave it at that. My point? The way I use these film cameras to tell the story of the day is so precious to me. And I'm really proud of that.
I currently call Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania home but often travel to Savannah, Cape May, Chicago, and wherever love stories are told.
I believe the act of shooting film is not a trend. It’s a tool.
I’m Nellie.
My approach
My intention is to give each couple photos that reflect exactly how sweet, special, and sacred their day was. And in order to do that, your day has to actually
be sweet, special and sacred.
I’m so humbled to share that the couples who choose me are a great match to my approach. They trust me to dream up a timeline that allows for a slower,
relaxed day with them at the center.
I prefer having conversations instead of shotgun consultations, and I’ll never pressure you to hire me. Your wedding day so much more than a sale.
It’s a privilege.
The experience I have with my clients isn’t separated by my camera;
it’s connected through it.

Wanna know more?
Since most of my work is destination based, I've only repeated a venue once!
I’ve traveled the world with my cameras. including switzerland, ireland, india,new zealand... and don’t plan on stopping.
My favorite thing to photograph outside of weddings? My daughter and my dog! Through rarely in the same frame.
I'm based in pittsburgh but have photgraphed in kenya, australia, and france!
I've made some really incredible images…And I know my best is yet to come.
If my business was a store, it would be a booth in an antique mall selling one of a kind trinkets & treasures.
