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!

CHRISTY & BILL–ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER ENGAGEMENT SESSION

When Christy mentioned wanting to do her engagement session at the Atlanta History Center, I was so excited! I had never shot there before and it is always great to explore new locations in Atlanta. Well needless to say the History Center didn’t disappoint–and of course neither did the wonderful Christy and her fiance Bill! They are just the sweetest most down-to-earth couple and were so fantastic to photograph! I cannot wait for their wedding next year in downtown Atlanta followed by what I know will be a gorgeous reception at the Old Decatur Courthouse!Not only are the grounds of the Atlanta History Center beautiful, but the Swan House, a 1928 mansion built for the famed Inman Family, is just stunning as a backdrop!How gorgeous is Christy?!Love this one–on the back steps of the Swan House!
