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!

EMILY & JEFF–DUNAWAY GARDENS WEDDING

I loved everything about photographing this wedding! Not only are Emily and Jeff this wonderfully sweet and easy-going couple, but they selected one of the most beautiful places for their wedding! When you arrive at Dunaway Gardens, you feel as though you have entered this beautiful oasis of gardens and waterfalls, winding pathways and gorgeous old trees. It is such a perfect location for an outdoor wedding. The day was all about Emily and Jeff’s love for one another and their family and friends and the setting was a perfect reflection of their love for the outdoors. I feel so lucky to have been there to capture every fantastic moment!
