Having worked as a professional photographer for the past 12 years, I have been incredibly fortunate to capture amazing images both on assignment and on personal projects throughout the U.S. and many other countries. Photographing weddings has become a true joy of mine as it allows me to tell the story of one of life’s best days: the love, excitement, energy, emotion and pure happiness of a couple on their wedding day!

I studied journalism with an emphasis in photojournalism at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After graduation I worked for a variety of organizations and publications including a commercial photography studio in Atlanta, as the staff photographer for the Fulton County Daily Report, a freelancer for the Australian Associated Press and continuing freelance work for various publications.

When not shooting a wedding or working on other photo assignments, you will definitely find me out hiking or camping or generally finding any excuse to be outside! I love taking fun classes and have done everything from Vietnamese and Spanish courses to pottery, horseback riding, knitting, ballet, belly dancing, yoga, oil painting…and the list goes on!

AMANDA & PETER–RITZ-CARLTON BUCKHEAD WEDDING

I had such a blast second shooting for the wonderful Shannon Rice-Galasso of Riso Studio for the gorgeous wedding of Amanda and Peter at the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead. A fabulous couple in a fabulous location and you simply can’t go wrong! Amanda and Peter came all the way from Oregon to celebrate their wedding here in Atlanta and I am so glad that I could be there to capture the day! Peter’s nephew was definitely the life of the party–I mean seriously how cute is he?!Their wedding was just full of cute little ones! Oh how I love the father-daughter dance–the emotion and love during that moment was palpable.

I agree with Leslie. These shots are remarkable, and the one of the two little girls should be on the front of Time magazine!

I don’t know if these people are just very photogenic or something, but I looove these shots! You really captured the emotion of the day right on everyone’s faces. And the pic of the two little girls is awesome!
