weddings

The wedding day can come and go so quickly. You spend months planning every tiny detail. And just like that, the day is over. That is why choosing your wedding photographer is so important. Memories can easily fade, but photos are timeless ; they allow you to relive your favorite day over and over again. 
 
My job is to serve you! Inviting you behind my camera to “Just Be.” I want your photos to feel natural and effortless. Timeless images that embody the essence of who you are as a couple. 

LET's CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER

To capture that moment the groom sees his bride for the first time, that warm tearful hug from a grandparent, the laughter of an eager and excited bride, or the adorable ring bearer as he bolts down the aisle. I want to be there for all of it. The small details that make each wedding unique, those romantic portraits, and all of the unplanned moments in between. 
 
These photos will be the only tangible reminders that get passed down to the next generation. So let’s make them count and create something beautiful together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I am a hybrid photographer which means I shoot with both digital and medium format film in my work. I love the rich, creamy and vibrant tones of film, but recognize the benefits of digital photography. Both flow seamlessly together when I am in the editing process.

Yes! Although I am based in North Carolina, I will happily travel to your wedding location. My wedding collections include up to 100 miles of wedding and engagement session travel.

Do you shoot film?

How would you describe your shooting style?

Do you travel?

I do a mix of guided and posed portraits as well as documentary style photography. I believe both are equally important. I have a calming personality which allows my couples to just breathe and be fully present on the wedding day.

I typically deliver around 75 images per hour. Wedding galleries are delivered 8-10 weeks after the wedding day and portrait sessions typically take 3-4 weeks. You will receive all images back via an online gallery.

To ensure my clients receive the best experience possible, I only photograph a limited number of weddings each year. On average, couples spend between $7000-$8000 on full wedding day coverage.

How many photos can we expect?

What does your booking process look like?

What does investment look like?

To reserve your wedding date with me, I require a signed contract and a retainer for 25% of the total.
