Oh my goodness, these two!!! Where do I even start!? Sarah reached out to me on Instagram a few weeks ago because she saw that I moved to Charleston, and she was going to be visiting the area with her fiance this month. She didn’t think I’d have any availability…but somehow I DID!! During my […]
Oh my goodness, where do I even start with Hollie and Evan’s wedding day!? It was INCREDBILE all around!!! Aside from the fact that the bride and groom are wonderful humans with hearts of gold, every piece of the day was perfect. From the weather to the venue to the details to the vendor team…the […]

SO much has happened since our move. I’ve traveled to so many different states shooting weddings and speaking […]

This wedding day was overall one of my favorites I’ve ever been a part of. Aubree and Nick found my business on social media and Aubree is a photographer herself based in Boston, MA. When she told me they were planning a wedding day on Cape Cod…I was overwhelmed with excitement!! I lived on base […]
