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!

SUZANNA & JOSH–MCGARITY HOUSE WEDDING

This was such a special wedding for me to photograph since I know this wonderful bride and what an amazing person she is! Suzanna and Josh, who simply couldn’t be a more caring and sweet couple, celebrated their beautiful outdoor wedding at the historic McGarity House in Temple, Georgia. What a fantastic day this turned out to be–beautiful May weather, a gorgeous location and two people who are incredibly in love! As a photographer herself, I was so thrilled that Suzanna allowed for plenty of time after the ceremony so that we could take advantage of the beautiful grounds on the property to get great images! Everything turned out beautifully and I am so honored that I could be there to photograph such a wonderful wedding!
