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!

SAMANTHA & BRYSON–PRIMROSE COTTAGE WEDDING

So excited to be able to share Samantha and Bryson’s beautiful wedding held at the historic Primrose Cottage in Roswell! It was one of those absolutely perfect early Fall days in Georgia–glorious blue skies, no humidity and a perfect temperature in the upper 70’s–made all the better by this fantastic couple. We were able to take advantage of the time we had before the ceremony to get some great shots down at the lovely Roswell Mill and Covered Bridge before heading over to Primrose Cottage for Samantha and Bryson’s First Look. What a perfect moment when they saw each other for the first time! These two are seriously some of the most wonderful and easy-going people that you could meet! I am so thrilled that I was there to capture the wonderful love they share with one another and all of their family and friends! Samantha is just absolutely gorgeous!!I loved shooting down at the Roswell Mill–just look at that gorgeous light on Samantha!Many thanks as always to my second shooter Jennifer Boxley for shooting the guys–and for this great shot of Bryson! The First Look gets me everytime–I just love all of that happiness!Love this first dance!
