Elevated imagery for the adventure driven soul

Meet me your north carolina adventure elopement photographer in the mountains

I'm Caroline

I’m a wife, mama, sourdough enthusiast, and avid reader who happens to be an adventure elopement & wedding photographer based in Andrews, NC. My obsession with photography started at 11 years old when I first discovered my mother’s film camera. In college, my fine arts degree centered around film photography and the darkroom was a second home for me.

I have a passion for capturing love stories that prioritize connection over production. From intimate ceremonies to mountaintop adventures, I create elevated imagery that tells your story with timeless artistry. My fine art film photography background and love for light guide my approach to capturing the moments that matter—the joy, the tears, the laughter, and the quiet beauty in between.

I work with couples who value honesty, genuinely like each other, and the value the irreplaceable memories their wedding photos will hold. If you trust in your vision for your wedding day, embrace a little spontaneity, and see the beauty in authentic storytelling, we’re likely a great fit. Together, we’ll create photos that feel like you—filled with emotion and meaning.

With me as your photographer, the focus will be on you and your love story, capturing every authentic moment with intention, whether you're on a mountaintop or sharing an intimate ceremony.

Larry and Yulia embraced all that made their day and themselves different and incorporated it into their beautiful elopement on family property.
Sunset in the valley of Andrews, NC romantically captures the essence of what it means to elope in the North Carolina mountains.

“She does not force or control moments to get a good photo, but instead, she uses her artistry and creativity to simply experience life with you and document the beauty of that life. Coming as someone who does not enjoy having her photo taken, Caroline made me forget that a camera was even around in these sweet moments of my life.”

The love between Will and Hannah was overflowingly evident in their adventure Highlands, NC elopement at Old Edwards Inn.

Caroline is absolutely the BEST!! She isn’t only a photographer - she is an artist. As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted her to take our engagement photos and to photograph our wedding. Caroline put us at ease and really captured who we are and our love for one another. I could not be happier with our photos!
