I have to say one important thing about Cheryl: she rocks! It didn’t take any convincing to get Cheryl outside under her umbrella for some portraits even though it was a balmy 30 degrees with light rain. Cheryl and Zack celebrated their wedding this past weekend at Red Top Mountain State Park and even though no one expects perfect weather in January, the rain and snow storm were a bit more than we bargained for. Though the conditions prevented many of their out-of-town guests from making it, Cheryl and Zack were full of love and laughter despite the weather. Since Cheryl and Zack decided to go for a ‘first look’ we were able to take advantage of the beautiful (if rainy) conditions around the cabin they had rented. Cheryl, who has the most lovely laugh, looked beautiful with her gorgeous red curls. She didn’t even let the mud on the bottom of her dress stop her from smiling all the way down the aisle. It was a wonderful, initmate wedding and I am so glad that I was able to be a part of their day. Congratulations Cheryl & Zack!
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!
