She has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera Her fun and relaxed personality helped calm our nerves on our big day. She exceeded any expectations we may have had for capturing our love story."

    Rachel and Alex said I do at a stunning WNC venue located in Robbinsville, NC. The romantic feel of their adventure day is felt through the colors, light, and placement of their elevated photos.
  • We are constantly looking at our photos and feel like we are right back on the mountain top smiling and laughing together! Thank you Caroline for stopping time so we will forever have those moments! You're the best :)

    Kelly + Ben

    Alec and Allie braved the wind and fog on the blue ridge parkway to capture their engagement photos at black balsam knob.
  • She so beautifully captured each element of our wedding day. Beyond the wonderful photos, spending the day with Caroline was a joy. She coached us into wonderful photos and spending time with her was like hanging out with an old friend. Highly highly recommend and I cannot wait to book her again for next time we need gorgeous photography. THANK YOU!!!!

    Rita + Evan

    Rita and Evan's elopement in the heart of the NC mountains showcased and celebrated their authentic story.

One of my favorite things about meeting each person is that each individual love story truly is it’s own adventure. Your story is special, unique, and amazing simply because two people decided to choose forever. You found the one person in the world that on the same day gives you butterflies, pisses you off, and makes you double over with laughter — and they’re yours.

Finding the right photographer to capture each and every detail of your story is a huge decision — it’s just as important for you to feel that I’m right for you as it is for me.

I know the secrets these Appalachian mountains keep, the waterfalls tucked away, the hiking adventures waiting to be explored together, and if you find yourself smiling and nodding along, then I can’t wait to meet you. North Carolina adventure elopements are calling, will you go?
