A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.
You will put so much thought into the details of your day, the perfect dress, the grand reception, intentional moments with your loved ones. Every wedding holds its own uniqueness and your photos should reflect the joyous weekend you will have, surrounded by your family and friends, celebrating your marriage. You deserve to have someone who invests time to truly see you and your loved ones as you are and who beautifully captures you as individuals and as a couple.

I will send you photography resources and work with you and your planner to help curate a photography timeline for your day. We will discuss all the details ahead of time to be sure we are well prepared for the wedding so you can just focus on enjoying the day.

Couples Photography & Engagements
Getting creative with clients for their engagement or couples sessions makes for amazing memories. There are so many options for these shoots, from destination locations, to shooting at a favorite spot of yours, we will come up with something unique and fun that showcases the two of you.
Portraits
In all my years of business, I have met some amazing people who come to me to photograph all the seasons of their life. Whether it be welcoming their first child, their growing family, branding sessions, or anniversaries, these life moments are some of the sweetest. Documenting the lives of past clients and now friends is such an honor.
Boudoir
A lot of our clients like to have a bridal boudoir shoot as a gift for their soon to be. What you ladies don't realize is that it's actually for you and you will leave feeling gorgeous and empowered. Shoots happen primarily in the Charlotte area but the option to travel or have the photoshoot during your destination wedding weekend is available.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need more than one photographer?
The size of the photography team depends on the scope of the wedding: how many days, the guest count and even the logistics of the day. But you will always have at least two photographers at your wedding. Multiple photographers give more, cohesive perspectives to your wedding day to help tell the full story. We can discuss all the options on our first call.
Do you travel?
Absolutely. I am based in North Carolina & South Florida, but have photographed couples all over the world and I look forwarding to chatting with you about your destination wedding or photoshoot.
Can we meet before the wedding?
Yes, we will discuss your needs on the call and throughout the process until your day. If you're wanting an engagement session thats a great way to meet and get to know each other, we always go for a drink beforehand. Im also available to walk the property with you and your planning/design team as well.
How will I receive my photographs?
I take into consideration what you would like, whether it is prints, wall art, or an album when we have our inquiry call and build that into your personalized packages. But all couples will receive images on an online gallery that you are able to share, download, and order from the attached store if you desire. The gallery is available to you for one year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, I am fully insured and can provide your planner or venue with the appropriate forms upon request.
How many photographs can we expect?
This really depends on your day, how many hours are needed, are some of those traveling to locations, and some other factors. On average 80 photographs per hour of shooting is what is delivered.
