What you’ll notice

• You feel at ease. I read the room, give light direction, then step back so the candid, in-between moments can breathe.

• The day runs smoothly. I’m a planner’s best friend—on time, proactive, and calm—so you can soak it in instead of worrying about the timeline.

• Photos that feel like you. Documentary-style storytelling with film-inspired tones—warm, true-to-life color and timeless edits that won’t date next year.

How I work (simple, stress-free)

1. Prep with purpose. I align with your planner, build a realistic timeline, and note the few must-have moments.

2. Calm presence on the day. Gentle direction when helpful, invisible when not—so the story unfolds naturally.

3. Edit with intention. Clean, cinematic color with subtle film warmth; images that honor the mood, the light, and the people.

For couples who want to remember the feeling

If you’re dreaming of a stress-free, people-first experience and timeless, candid photos, I’d love to connect—whether you’re celebrating in Wilmington, Raleigh, or along the North Carolina coast.

I focus on capturing the unscripted, honest moments — the quiet nerves before the ceremony, the laughter between vows, the spontaneous glances, the wild dance floor moves. These are the memories that matter.

I believe photography should preserve how a moment felt, not just how it looked. That’s why I guide lightly, never force poses, and always give you space to be yourself.

If that sounds like the kind of experience you’re after, I’d love to connect.

Let’s capture the real thing!
