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!

KATIE & DAVE–CHATEAU ELAN WEDDING

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie and Dave and their gorgeous wedding held at Chateau Elan. We lucked out with another incredibly beautiful Fall day–full of blue skies and warm sunshine–the perfect kind of day for an outdoor wedding on the lawn at the winery! Chateau Elan has everything you can hope for in a venue with a great hotel, beautiful views and lovely vineyards. Needless to say I took advantage of all of these great spots to capture this fantastic couple. Seriously, you could not meet a sweeter pair than Katie and Dave–they way they are always laughing with each other and are so warm and genuine just makes for the best kind of shooting. I am so honored to have captured all of the love and happiness on their beautiful wedding day! Katie is simply gorgeous!!Their beautiful ceremony held on the lawn at Chateau Elan.What a great moment with the sleepy ring bearer during the ceremony!Absolutely love this!I love a great first dance!
