I not only photograph weddings in North Carolina, I have also had the honor of photographing in Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Florida, and Alabama. No wedding destination is too far. My passport is up to date and ready to go.

My style is creative photojournalism. I love capturing the love and connections between family and friends with a creative play on lighting and angles. If you are looking for something a little unique you have come to the right place. You will not see posed family portraits on my site but rest assured I take family pictures at every wedding I photograph. I am just more focused on telling your love story through moments captured.
If wedding photography is one of the most important things to you I would book your wedding photographer as soon as you have booked your venue. I have booked dates a year and half out.
I require a signed contract and a retainer of 1250+tax.
I typically provide 75-100 wedding photos per hour I'm at the event.
Online galleries are posted online typically 3-5 weeks from your wedding. You will be able to download your high resolution digital files directly to your computer. If you order prints from me you will receive your prints 1-2 weeks from order date, a little longer around the holidays.
Yes and no. I have spent the last 11 years photographing weddings solo but there are situations when a 2nd photographer is needed. If you are having over 170 wedding guest lets discuss adding on the 2nd photographer. Rest assured I feel totally comfortable photographing a wedding by myself. I pride myself on capturing the great moments of your day.
Bridal portraits are typically done when your wedding dress has had its final alterations, 1-2 months before the wedding day. Engagement photos can be done anytime.
It is ideal to photograph newborns between 4-10 days old. During this time the baby sleeps up to 18 hours a day and remains in a wonderful ‘curl’ from the womb. If your baby is older than 10 days don’t get discouraged! Send me a email! The session will likely take a little bit longer but I still get amazing photos.
My goal is to create 3 different setups with your baby as well as a few parent shots. This takes anywhere from 1.5 – 3 hours. It is important for you to arrive on time or early to the session.
No worries. It’s completely normal for a newborn to cry during their session. I continue to work through their fussiness with special soothing techniques and a lot of patience.
Try to keep mittens on his/her hands 2 days prior to the session so they don’t scratch their face(newborn socks might stay on the hands better, haha.)
Try not to let them sleep all morning. We want a sleepy baby for the session. If you are able to pump a bottle or bring formula for the session please do so. Here is the biggie.
Please bring a pacifier. I realize some doctors say don’t give the baby a pacifier for a while but it really can save a session. If we need to use a pacifier it really is only for very short periods of time and it’s a last resort.
Feel free to bring yourself a snack/drink as this will take at least 2hrs maybe longer. If you are breast feeding and drink caffeine try not to for 36-48 hrs leading up to the session as this could affect the babies sleeping habits.
The studio will be very very warm so please dress accordingly. Solid colors are best for family portraits. Make sure you do your hair and makeup at your house or the ride over in the car as I will start with family photos.
