An experience rooted in presence, intention, and heart.

from inquiry to delivery

Your wedding day is a living story, full of fleeting expressions, unguarded moments, and the quiet magic that unfolds when you’re fully present. My approach blends editorial direction with intuitive documentary photography, creating imagery that feels both artful and emotionally true.

Here, you’ll get an inside look at my process, grounded in calm direction, honest storytelling, and a thoughtful, refined approach from start to finish.

No forced poses.

No rushed moments.

Just a calm, elevated experience focused on what matters most.

THE SIGNATURE PROCESS

01. Connection & Vision

Reach out through my contact form and share a bit about your day. I’ll respond with details, availability, and next steps to get us started.

02. Thoughtful Planning

Once booked, I’ll guide you through planning with helpful resources, a simple questionnaire, and support to ensure we’re aligned and everything runs smoothly.

03. The Wedding Day

My presence is observant and intentional. I provide refined direction whenever needed, and quiet space whenever the moment calls for it. This approach creates photographs that feel elevated and refined, yet organically you.

04. After the Celebration

Within a week, you’ll receive a curated preview gallery that brings your day back to life. Your full gallery and film scans follow, edited with care and consistency. Your Polaroids and USB gallery are then thoughtfully packaged and delivered.

What makes this experience elevated

  • A grounded, intuitive presence that brings ease to every moment and allows the day to unfold naturally.


  • Gentle, thoughtful direction that feels comfortable and refined- never stiff, forced, or over-posed.


  • Seamless film integration woven throughout your gallery- adding depth, nostalgia, and timelessless.


  • An intentional storytelling approach that notices the in-betweens: the soft gestures, quiet glances, and emotional exchanges often missed.


  • Years of experience collaborating with top venues and planners, ensuring a smooth, elevated, and cohesive wedding experience from start to finish.

Analog love stories

Film is an anchor in my work- it slows the moment and invites intention. I use 35mm and 120mm film throughout the day, along with Polaroids, to create a gallery with depth, texture, and a sense of nostalgia that digital alone can’t replicate. The color, grain, and softness of film bring an honest, timeless quality to your story, making each frame feel as if it was pulled from memory itself.

Every wedding collection includes film photography so you can relive your memories in a way that feels honest and nostalgic. Your Polaroids will be delivered in a custom keepsake box, and your film scans are thoughtfully incorporated into your final gallery, adding dimension and richness to the story of your day. Because for me, film isn’t about perfection, it’s about feeling- the way a moment lives on long after it’s passed.

She genuinely caught EVERY moment of the most wonderful day of our lives. I cannot thank her enough for giving us the ability to relive that night through these beautiful photos. She’s provided us a gallery of hundreds of pictures, each one capturing all the tears, laughs, horrible dance moves, and love from our wedding day. If you need a photographer for a wedding, elopement, or engagement I URGE you to book her.

Frequently asked questions

  • Once you inquire, I’ll send over my detailed pricing guide so you can explore the collection that feels like the best fit for your celebration. When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send a booking packet that includes your contract and an invoice for the 35% retainer. Once those are completed, your date is officially reserved.

    The remaining balance is due 30 days before the wedding, and everything is handled online for a smooth, seamless experience from start to finish.

  • You’ll receive a curated preview gallery within one week of your wedding— a thoughtful collection of images that lets you relive the day while everything is still beautifully fresh.

    Your full gallery is delivered within 8–12 weeks. During peak season, the timeline leans toward the longer end to ensure every image receives the attention, care, and intention it deserves.

  • My editing style is timeless, true-to-tone, and rooted in natural light. I aim for a look that feels organic, effortless, and true to the atmosphere of your day. Every image is hand-edited with care to ensure consistency, clarity, and a cohesive narrative.

    Retouching is kept subtle and natural. I gently address temporary distractions— like blemishes or hair flyaways— while preserving the authenticity and emotion of the moment. My goal is never to alter the way you look, but to create images that feel elevated, honest, and deeply true to you.

  • Yes, every wedding includes a second photographer. This allows us to document your day with greater depth, perspective, and intention.

    Most often, my husband Matt joins me. He brings a friendly, slightly more outgoing presence than myself, and also a deep understanding of how I work, which allows us to move seamlessly throughout the day. While I focus on the artistic direction and storytelling, he supports with additional angles, candid moments, and the behind-the-scenes coverage that completes your gallery. Together, we’re able to create a more dimensional, comprehensive record of your celebration.

  • Yes, I happily travel for weddings throughout Tennessee and the Southeast. Local travel is included in all of my collections for celebrations within roughly three hours of Knoxville, which covers many of the region’s most beloved venues.

    For destinations beyond that, I create custom travel quotes tailored to your location and logistics. I take on only a limited number of travel weddings each year to ensure I can give each celebration the time, presence, and intention it deserves.

  • Yes, every wedding collection includes an engagement session. It’s an important part of the process for me. It gives us time to meet, connect, and help you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera long before the wedding day.

    It’s also a beautiful way to document this season of your relationship that goes by so fast. The images from your engagement session become a meaningful part of your story and help create a natural, effortless flow on your wedding day.

  • My approach is a blend of gentle guidance and quiet observation. I step in with direction when it elevates the moment, offering subtle prompts that help you feel natural, connected, and at ease. But I also know when to step back and let the authentic, unscripted moments unfold on their own.

    I’m not interested in stiff posing or anything that feels too forced. Instead, I focus on movement, interaction, and the small gestures that feel like you. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable and present, so the images reflect your relationship honestly and effortlessly.

  • Yes, I work closely with you and your planner to create a photography timeline that feels intentional, seamless, and true to the flow of your day. With years of experience photographing weddings of all styles and seasons, I understand how to structure a timeline that allows space for meaningful moments without ever feeling rushed. My goal is to create a photo schedule that feels effortless with room for quiet moments, natural light, and prioritizes time for you to be present.

  • Yes, I love photographing smaller celebrations. Because these celebrations vary so much in structure and location, I create custom quotes based on the specifics of your day. When you inquire, simply share your plans, timeline, guest count, and location, and I’ll curate a collection tailored to your vision.

    Intimate weddings and elopements are available to book Monday through Friday only.

  • I use film intentionally throughout the day, choosing moments where it will elevate the story. I photograph on 35mm and 120mm film, along with Polaroids, weaving each medium in naturally so your gallery feels dimensional and timeless. Your final gallery includes both digital and film images for a cohesive, artful narrative.

    And as a special keepsake, your Polaroids are delivered in a custom box after your gallery is complete— a tangible piece of your day you can hold in your hands.

Let’s tell your story, together.

preserving TIMELESS love stories with artistry, intention AND HEART, since 2020.
