About Me

Hey there! A little bit about me….I am a wedding photographer based in the stunning mountains of Asheville, North Carolina! I've been capturing beautiful moments for over 15 years professionally and I'm always blown away by the magic of love and connection that I see through my lens.

When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me hiking through the mountains, exploring new trails, and soaking up the beauty of nature that surrounds me. I'm lucky enough to call the Blue Ridge Mountains my home and I feel so inspired by their majestic beauty every single day.

But as much as I love my hometown, my passion for traveling is just as strong. I'm always on the lookout for new destinations to explore and I've been fortunate enough to photograph weddings in some truly breathtaking locations. So whether you're planning a local celebration or a far-flung adventure, I'm ready to capture all the love and joy of your big day.

My approach

I bring a calm, steady energy into your wedding day—no matter what’s happening around us.
Weddings can feel fast-paced or overwhelming at times, and I’m someone who helps you stay grounded and present through it all. I’ll gently guide when needed, step in with confidence during key moments, and create a space where you can actually enjoy your day.
take a balanced approach—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while also stepping in with guidance when it’s needed.
A lot of the day is documented in a candid, unobtrusive way so your photos feel real and true to the moment. When it comes to couples portraits, I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural and easy—nothing stiff or overly posed.
It’s completely normal to feel a little awkward at first being in front of the camera, but most couples quickly settle in. Your day is already filled with love, connection, and emotion—and that naturally comes through. I create a relaxed, fun environment so you can just be yourselves, and often couples end up laughing, smiling, and actually enjoying the experience.
At the same time, I’m always paying attention. If I sense that you need a little more direction, I’ll step in and guide you so you never feel unsure.
This allows for a mix of genuine, in-between moments and beautifully guided photos—without anything ever feeling forced or overwhelming.
I love getting to know my couples before the wedding day, but I also understand that everyone has a different rhythm.
Some couples are more introverted, some are busy, and some prefer a more minimal approach—and I honor that. I don’t believe in overwhelming you with constant back-and-forth or unnecessary pressure.
I create space for you to reach out at your own pace, while still being available to answer questions, offer guidance, and help with things like timeline planning when needed.
This allows the experience to feel natural, supportive, and aligned with what works best for you—while still ensuring your vision is understood and honored.
I bring a creative, intuitive eye to every wedding day—always paying attention to light, movement, and the feeling of a moment.
I look for unique angles and natural compositions that elevate what’s already happening, without forcing anything. This allows your photos to feel both artistic and authentic—capturing your day in a way that feels true to you, while still standing out.
With over 17+ years of editing experience, I’ve developed a strong eye for detail that carries into the way I photograph.
I’m always paying attention to things like lighting, composition, and the small elements in a scene—so each image feels intentional, clean, and thoughtfully captured.
I focus on capturing the emotional connection between a couple, their families, and friends on their special day.
Capturing emotional connections throughout a wedding day is an art form that requires skill, patience, and a keen eye for detail. By getting to know a couple, being observant, and using different techniques, I can capture emotional connections in a way that is both authentic and beautiful.
