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!

KRISTI & JAY–PIEDMONT PARK/VA HIGHLANDS ENGAGEMENT

What a fantastic time I had photographing an engagement session with Kristi & Jay at Piedmont Park and Virginia Highlands in Atlanta! I was so excited that they brought along their two dogs–who were just about the most cooperative pups I have seen. Besides of course that being around dogs just naturally makes you so happy! I am so thrilled to be photographing their wedding coming up in January at the First Baptist Duluth and Country Club of the South. These two could not have been more wonderful to photograph which makes me even more excited for their big day! Absolutely adore this photo!Was great to sneak into Murphy’s in the highlands for a couple of pics where Kristi & Jay had shared their first date!

Kristi thank you so much! You and Jay made my job easy plus Ladis and Birdie were just regular pros that day (besides being super cute dogs to begin with)! I am so excited for your wedding in January–I know it is going to be such a gorgeous day!

Thank you so much for capturing Jay, Ladis, Birdie and I in some of our favorite spots. These pictures will be special to us for a lifetime. We love them and can’t wait to share them with our friends and family!! You are such a joy to work with and can really make a girl who is not comfortable in front of the camera feel completely at ease. January is going to be here before we know it!
