For the couple who values The High Energy moments, emotional storytelling, and timeless style.
North Carolina Wedding Photographer
And I don’t take that lightly.
If you’re looking for a photographer who captures the tears in your mom’s eyes as she helps you into your dress, the nerves and joy of your first look, the laughter, the high energy on the dance floor, and all the moments in between- then you’ve found your girl.
I’m passionate about documenting your day as it truly unfolds, preserving the emotion, the energy, and the little things you’ll want to never forget.
You’re not just planning a wedding.
You’re creating memories that will last a lifetime..
Let’s tell your story the way it deserves to be felt.
It’s a blur of emotion, connection, and once-in-a-lifetime moments with your favorite people.
You’re not here for stiff poses or surface-level photos. You want to feel your images—each glance, each tear, each burst of laughter—captured with honesty and intention.
Whether your day is big, small, or somewhere in between, I’m here to document it in a way that’s true to you: beautifully, emotionally, and without missing the moments that matter most.
Your wedding day isn’t just a timeline of events.
Because some moments aren’t just remembered — they’re felt forever
Every photo I take is guided by emotion, not just the camera. Since losing my mom, I see the world differently—through a lens shaped by loss, love, and the moments that truly matter. I don’t just capture moments, I hold onto them for you and your partner. Grief gave me a deeper perspective. It’s why I show up differently—for you and the people you love. With every shutter click, I’m preserving your memories, and the kind of love that lingers long after the moment is gone. If you want photos that tell the full story... not just how it looked, but how it felt, I'd love to be the one to document your day.
