You believe your story wasn’t crafted by chance—but written by the Lord, in His perfect timing and with eternal purpose. It’s not like anyone else’s, and you don’t want it to be.

You’re not here for a show. You’re here to honor what’s sacred. To mark the start of a covenant with reverence, not performance.

You want photographs that hold weight—not just beauty. Photos you can’t wait to print and hang on the wall. You value art, all things beautiful, and understand true value.

If that’s the story you’re living—then I already know it’ll be a joy to tell it with you.

for love that feels like home

Casey and Adam got engaged in the middle of summer and that summertime light at max Patch was incredible to photograph their genuine love

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in the mountains of North Carolina — nestled in the mountains where love feels a little quieter, a little deeper.

I work with couples that are value art, who are intentional, and full of life. The kind who care less about performance and more about presence. Who want to remember not just how it all looked, but how it felt—joyful, sacred, and true.

With a background in fine art film photography and a deep love for natural light and the mountains of North Carolina, my approach is quiet and attentive. I notice the small things about your day — the trembling hands, the tears you didn’t think anyone saw, the laughter wrapped in legacy.

If you value emotional honesty, meaningful connection, and photography that feels like a gentle remembering, I think we’ll get along just fine.

Sound like the kind of story you want to tell?
