While my imagery is soft & feminine, it's also honest & raw.

As a visual storyteller, I document your day as it unfolds with honesty and intention.

With an editorial eye and an intentional approach to styling and direction, I guide the day gently so it feels effortless, allowing your story to unfold in a way that feels natural, personal, and true to you—from quiet in-between moments to the people who matter most.

You May Be Wondering

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

I recommend booking your photographer as soon as your venue is booked and date is set. I typically book about a year ahead, though availability can vary depending on the season. If you’re planning a longer engagement, I also offer the option to be added to my waitlist for your preferred date.

What areas do you serve?

I’m based in South Carolina and photograph weddings throughout the state with no travel fees. There are so many beautiful places I’d love to photograph, including Charleston, Columbia, and Sumter.
I also continue to take on a limited number of weddings in Cleveland, Ohio, where I built my photography business and have an established base. When I’m unavailable for a Cleveland wedding, I also offer collections with my trusted associate photographer.

How do you approach posing and directing?

Beautiful photographs begin with beautiful light. Soft, natural light creates the creamy skin tones and soft, dimensional backlight that define my work, and years of experience have taught me how to find and shape it throughout a wedding day.
I also know that most people aren’t accustomed to being in front of a camera. There will be moments throughout your day when I gently direct and pose you, and others when I step back and let things unfold naturally. My goal is never to make you feel like you’re performing for the camera, but to create enough direction and space for genuine moments and emotions to come through.

What is your editing style?

I photograph digitally with a film-inspired approach, looking for the creamy skin tones, softness, depth, and timeless quality that's so beautiful about film. Every image is carefully selected and edited so your final gallery feels intentional, cohesive, and true to the day.
When you inquire, I’m always happy to share full galleries from recent weddings so you can see how my work looks from beginning to end—not just a collection of favorite images.

How and when will we receive our images?

After your wedding, I carefully go through the photographs from every part of the day and select a collection of sneak peeks to share with you. You can expect 30–90 images within the first week—a little glimpse of your day while the full gallery is being thoughtfully prepared.
Your full gallery will be delivered within 60 days of your wedding.

Do you work with a second photographer?

Many of my favorite weddings have been photographed solo, and I’m very comfortable working that way. That said, larger celebrations, multiple venues, or more complex timelines can benefit from having a second photographer there to help document everything happening throughout the day.
I’ll always give you an honest recommendation based on the size and structure of your wedding. A second photographer is also available as an addition to your collection if you decide it’s right for you.

What does your wedding photography investment look like?

I take on a limited number of weddings each year because I want to give each couple my time, attention, and creative energy. Investment varies depending on the shape and scale of your celebration—from intimate, single-venue days to multi-location events and full wedding weekends. Collections can also be personalized with options such as an engagement session, second photographer, rehearsal dinner coverage, and more. I’m always happy to walk you through the collections and help you choose what makes the most sense for your day.
