I am really on a streak this year of working with some of the most genuine and kind couples ever. It makes my job so much easier. Meredith and I met a few years ago when I took her (and her bridesmaids’!) senior graduation photos from UNCW. Getting to meet Hunter (who I’d heard about […]

The “fall” wedding season is kicking off with an absolutely gorgeous wedding after two months off! I was feeling particularly creative after spending some time in France and was excited to bring that energy to Ashlyn and Matt’s day. Thankfully Ashlyn is incredibly detail-oriented which made my job easy and fun. Her getting ready photos […]

I am so excited for Maggie and Alex’s wedding!!! Even more so after their engagement session. They are both very kind-hearted, down to earth people who are very clearly infatuated with each other. They also both come from a Greek-American household. After photographing my first Greek wedding a few years ago, I learned I love […]

Catching back up on my senior session recaps! I absolutely LOVED Willa Grace’s photos because (in the words of Taylor Swift), they feel so high school. Like most Harrell’s Christian Academy seniors, photos at their school campus is really important. This is the place they’ve gone to school since kindergarten so I understand why! People […]

When looking across your website and your socials (especially when you’re just getting started), you may not think you need much else beyond updated headshots. While it is beneficial to have the clean, studio-standard headshots that are back in style, it is also important to still focus on personality and variety to make your photos […]

One thing I love about the wedding world (specifically the Wilmington, NC wedding industry) is just how creative everyone is. We spend so much time creating for others, making their visions come to life, that it’s really nice when we get to simply create for ourselves. I also believe it’s important for the wedding vendors […]

My first official Airlie Gardens wedding — a staple in the Wilmington community. I am so thankful Claire and Wade invited me to photograph their wedding because it is a highlight of my career to shoot a reception on the big oak lawn! The morning actually started with a giant rain storm over Airlie, while […]

Rose Hill has always been a dream venue of mine. The big columns on the porch, the bright bridal suites, the feel of being in a home on a wedding day…it’s so beautiful.  I couldn’t imagine a more perfect day or place for Kalli and Colby’s wedding.  The upstairs of the house was filled with […]
