I wanted to take advantage of some amazing Fall colors and locations recently to shoot some model bridal portraits. I was able to convince the gorgeous Leslie to model for me all over town in what turned out to be a verrrry cold day! In between shots she threw on her big parka–which helped a little, I think! It was a great opportunity for me to play around with some ideas and poses I had. Since you can’t take a bad photo of Leslie, it made for a really fun afternoon of shooting. I love having some time to get creative behind the camera!
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!
