I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

Technically, my job description is the same as its title. I’m hired to photograph couples’ weddings. But I see my job as a lot more than that. I’m the bride’s timeline-organizer, her co-problem-solver, her idea-bouncer-offer, her friend-and-family-wrangler, her day-of-the-wedding-communications-director. And once the wedding day rolls around, I get to remind her, over and over, how fabulously gorgeous […]

Ten days before our wedding — on my 24th birthday — Danny and I headed to Disney World. This was back when Disney was doing their amazing (and thus, of course, discontinued) “Florida residents get in free on their birthday” promotion. So I whipped out my driver’s license and got an “It’s my birthday!” pin, […]

Handing your wedding rings over to the photographer for close-up ring shots is the easy part — the photographer will decide where and how to shoot the rings. But deciding what to do with the rings for the ceremony itself is your job. The four main options are pretty simple and straightforward: Have the best man […]
