Fun Facts!

I get it a lot! My family and I recently moved here 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.

If you’re asking me, the answer is always yes. Dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family, and they 100% deserve a spot in your wedding (and your photos). Whether they’re walking down the aisle, stealing snacks at the reception, or just hanging out for a few portraits, I’ll make sure they get their moment.

Most mornings start with the New York Times Games app. Wordle, the Mini, Spelling Bee, anything that lets me pretend I’m sharp before the second cup of coffee. I try to get the Mini in under a minute. I’ve hit Queen Bee a few times, and my son’s now into Strands, so apparently this is a family tradition.

I live near the water now and love being close to it, but I’ll pass on the full sun and getting sand everywhere. I went to Appalachian State in the mountains of North Carolina, and I’ve been drawn to long views and quiet hikes ever since. Both have amazing sunsets, and I’m happy with either, as long as there’s a good view.
