Engagement & Weddings


Your wedding day deserves to be documented in a way that feels effortless, meaningful, and timeless. For over 13 years, I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories in a classic and authentic way — preserving the moments you’ll want to relive for generations to come.


Because every wedding deserves care and attention, I take on only a select number of weddings each year. This allows me to truly connect with each couple, provide a personalized experience, and intentionally document your day from beginning to end.


From our first consultation to your final gallery delivery, I want you to feel comfortable, prepared, and fully present on your wedding day. We’ll talk through your vision, timeline, priorities, and all the little details that matter most to you — so your photographs reflect your story beautifully and naturally.


My approach is classic, timeless, and emotion-driven, focusing on genuine moments, refined details, and imagery that will never go out of style.


From the all day weddings at the big locations to the church house to the courthouse... I want to help document your love story!

Engagement Sessions


Engagement sessions are the perfect way for us to get comfortable working together before the wedding day. These sessions are relaxed, fun, and focused on capturing your relationship in a genuine and timeless way.


Whether you envision something downtown, romantic in nature, elegant in studio, or meaningful to your story, we’ll choose a location that feels authentic to you as a couple.


Engagement sessions are also a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and learn natural posing that feels effortless and true to your connection.

A Personalized Wedding Experience


Your wedding photography experience should feel just as meaningful as the images themselves. Before your wedding day, we’ll schedule consultations to talk through your vision, timeline, important moments, family dynamics, and everything you’re dreaming of for your day.


I believe the best photographs come from trust and connection, which is why I take time to truly get to know my couples. From helping with timelines to offering guidance throughout the planning process, I’m here to make your experience seamless and stress-free.


By taking a limited number of weddings each year, I’m able to give every couple the attention and care they deserve.

Weddings Big & Small


Whether you're saying “I do” in a small hometown church, at the courthouse surrounded by your closest family, or celebrating in a large venue filled with everyone you love — your story deserves to be documented beautifully and intentionally.


I truly love weddings of all sizes and believe every celebration holds meaningful moments worth preserving. From intimate ceremonies to full wedding weekends, my goal is always to create timeless, emotion-filled imagery that allows you to relive your day for years to come.


Based in Eastern Kentucky, I’m currently booking 2026 and 2027 weddings, including a select number of travel weddings each year. If you’re planning a destination celebration or wedding outside the area, I’d love to hear more about your plans — just inquire for travel availability and custom coverage options.

I can't wait to see you!
