QUESTIONS?

Here are quick answers to the questions I hear most. If you don’t see yours here, reach out and I’ll help.

Yes, I am based in Old Saybrook, Connecticut and am available for weddings all over New England and beyond.

My family and I moved from North Carolina, and while it’s a big change, I’m excited to explore everything New England has to offer.

Yep! Along with weddings, I’ve spent years covering sports at all levels, from high school championships to the NFL as a team photographer for the Carolina Panthers. Those experiences mean I know how to anticipate split-second events, adapt to fast-moving timelines, and work under pressure, all skills that translate perfectly to a wedding day.

My approach blends storytelling with just enough guidance to keep things relaxed and real. I’m drawn to unscripted moments; the glances, the laughs, the unexpected emotion. I want you to be fully present while I document it all unfolding naturally.

When it comes to portraits, I’ll give you direction that feels easy and natural, not stiff or overly posed.

Absolutely. Not everyone dreams of or needs a large wedding day. For elopements and intimate wedding ceremonies, I offer collections ranging from 3-6 hours to fit your needs.

  • A bride in a white dress, denim jacket, and floral crown smiles while sitting sideways on a pink chair in a grassy field, holding a colorful bouquet—capturing the playful spirit of wedding photography often seen in top publications.
  • A bride and groom hold hands and smile as they walk down the aisle outdoors at one of Charlotte’s top wedding venues, surrounded by guests. The bride carries a bouquet; the groom wears a navy suit, with trees and greenery in the background.

I’M HERE FOR YOU.

If my work feels like what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.

Let me know your date, venue and your top priorities for your day, and I’ll get back to you ASAP with availability and next steps.

I’ll bring the coffee. You bring the vibe.
