At Alder and Root, it’s simple: we aim to capture the heart of your day and the essence of your connection, with honesty and deep care.
To us, wedding days are like a treasure hunt—filled with countless in-between moments that reveal the richest parts of life. These moments will become the foundation of your memories, and over time, as the details fade, it’s our goal for your photos to bring you back to the feeling of those moments, time and time again.
We create images that will stand the test of time, images that belong in your wedding album—not just for fleeting social media moments. We won’t follow trends or force staged shots. Instead, we embrace the beauty of an unscripted day, one that is spontaneous and entirely unique to you.
We’re here to anticipate and capture the people and moments that matter most, creating space for the day to unfold naturally. We’ll laugh with you, share in your joy, and be by your side, documenting the beauty of every emotion and connection along the way.

I love photographing weddings because they’re a celebration of life’s most real and beautiful moments. Weddings are filled with raw emotions—joy, laughter, tears—and they unfold in such a genuine, unscripted way. There’s something truly special about capturing those in-between moments that people often miss—the soft glances, the quiet conversations, the little gestures that tell a story of love and connection.
For me, wedding photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about preserving memories in a way that feels as real and meaningful as the day itself. Each wedding is unique, with its own atmosphere, energy, and love story. Being able to capture that truth, and help couples relive those feelings for years to come, is an incredible honor.
I’m drawn to weddings because they remind me that beauty doesn’t always have to be staged or perfect. The best moments are often the most unplanned, and that’s what I love to capture: the heart of the day, grounded in its raw, beautiful authenticity.
To ME, the best part of a wedding day is witnessing so much love in one space.
