I'm a destination wedding and portrait photographer based in East Tennessee. Most importantly, I'm a human being who adores my family, friends, and of course my dogs. I'm obsessed with anything olive green or gold and funny movies are my fave. I love spicy food so much that I actually crave it... often. I feel a deep connection to my Irish roots which puts Ireland right at the top of my bucket list. I'm a sucker for those silly online quizzes that ask you to do stuff like "Name All the Classic Cartoons of the 90s." ...Challenge accepted! Stevie Nicks is totally my spirit animal. Speaking of, I have a really broad taste in music and can easily go from Adele to Rap to 50s Music to Fleetwood Mac to Disney Soundtracks to Chris Stapleton and then to Beyonce at the drop of a hat.
Exploring the world makes my heart so happy, especially when it's for a great love story. Getting to know the couples, families, and seniors who chose me, that I like to call friends, will always be my favorite part of what I do. Sure the photos are beautiful but it's the stories that pull on my heartstrings. I want to know how Chelsea got that scar above her right eye and what she wants to be when she grows up. How David almost dropped the ring because his hands were shaking so bad when he proposed and why Kendra and Bryan chose the name Brynleigh. What do Ali and Brandon see when they rest their heads together and close their eyes? And the fact that Katie told her dad she was going to marry Matt when she was only six years old and that's exactly what she's going to do this fall...
Let me tell your story.
Who were you before the world told you who you should be? What sets your soul on fire? What kind of pizza are you into? What made you fall in love? (With each other or with that thing that drives you)
I don't want the perfect, just like you don't want the boring cookie-cutter poses. Give me the raw, the beautiful, the perfectly imperfect you and I'll help you keep that alive, forever...
