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!

MARY & BRYAN–THE ATRIUM WEDDING

I don’t think you could find two more lovely and totally in love people than Mary and Bryan! Their genuine warmth and affection for not only each other but for all of their many close friends and family speaks volumes about them. So of course I knew their wedding day was going to be an incredibly special celebration. We started off the day with their First Look at the wonderful Lillian Webb Park in downtown Norcross before heading over to their wedding held at The Atrium in Norcross. Their outdoor evening ceremony held under the gazebo was so beautiful and made all the more special by the vows they wrote for one another. There is nothing more wonderful than being able to photograph people during some of the best moments of their lives–and I tell you it was such an honor to be a part of this wedding! Many thanks to Jennifer Boxley for this great shot of Bryan and for second shooting for me!What a fantastic First Look!! Was such a great emotional moment!I absolutely love Mary’s dress–how unbelievably gorgeous is she?!Love this of Bryan and Mary at the gazebo before their ceremony!
