So that you know a bit about me...I began my photography career back in the mid-90's while earning my undergraduate degree in Technical Photography from ASU. I went on to receive a graduate degree in Photography in Vancouver, BC while continuing to capture weddings in a photojournalistic style. With the unique experience of photographing weddings across North America, from Vancouver to Florida, I am available worldwide to cover weddings, events, and portraits.

Raleigh, NC Wedding Photography {Jillian & Brent}

Here is one from the fabulous wedding over the weekend. “Timeless” is the word that keeps coming to my mind!

And here are a few from the engagement session on NC State’s campus…

WPS Convention Seminar

This weekend I have the honor of sharing a seminar, “The Inspired Artist” at the WPS (Wedding Photographic Society) Convention.  As a WPS Board Member, I am so excited about photographers coming together in community to share and learn (which is what WPS is all about!).  I’ll also be teaching a “Lens Lesson” workshop on shooting bridal portraits and participating in mentor sessions in which all proceeds go to Give Kids The World.  You can read about why I love being a part of this HERE!

Enjoy your weekend and be inspired!

Bald Head Island, NC Wedding Photographer {flowers}

Beautiful flowers are on my mind today! Brunswick Town Florist created such dreamy arrangements for the already perfect location of Bald Head Island, NC.  Enjoy the colors of summer!

Here is a special preview from a recent AMAZING weekend of wedding festivities in Charlottesville, Virginia.  More to come about the fabulous venue and details.  Until then, here are Katie & Jamie  (and some great shoes!)…

Charlotte, NC Wedding Photography {Robin’s Bridal Portrait}

I’ve been traveling all over NC and even VA the past two months photographing beautiful weddings. Here are a few favorites from Robin’s Bridal Session in Charlotte, NC. Look for more to come from Robin and Wesley’s wedding!



Chapel Hill, NC Wedding {Laura & Nick}

Last night’s Chapel Hill Country Club wedding was amazing! Laura and Nick are such thoughtful people and are very dear to my heart. Have fun on your honeymoon, you two! And please come back to the east coast and visit (although I know you must love California life!)…

NC Beach Wedding {Beaufort, NC}

Bridal By the Sea’s Rachel Munro designed, in perfect detail, a gorgeous wedding for Lauren and Hollin.  Beaufort, NC is such a charming coastal town for a wedding location!  As you can see, it was romance at its finest.

And the wonderful Greg Ramsey of Joe Bunn DJ Company…love working with this guy!

Highgrove Estate, NC {Brooke’s Bridal Portrait}

We had a lovely time doing Brooke’s bridal portrait a few weeks before her Carolina Inn wedding. The Highgrove Estate, just 20 minutes outside of Raleigh, NC, was the perfect location for our session.  I will have more to come from their amazing wedding!

I love her gown from Alexia’s Bridal Boutique.  Ginger Mullins Salon Inc. did Brooke’s hair and makeup and Ginger was wonderful, as always!

Edie & Brennan’s Ceremony {more of Fayetteville, NC Wedding}

Sweet moments just before the walk down the aisle…

The ceremony…

I love the floor in this church…

A fun ride to the reception!

Beautiful Wedding Weekend! {Fayetteville, NC Wedding}

Edie and Brennan had a lovely weekend and I LOVED being there to capture everything. To start, here’s a peak at the bridesmaids luncheon.

And the adorable couple during their rehearsal dinner…

The wedding day!  There is nothing quite as beautiful as a Vera Wang gown…

Edie is gorgeous and a joy to be around!

A timeless portrait…

More to come from this one!  Thanks for stopping by!
