I’m known for creating a stress-free experience, delivering full galleries in just two weeks, and offering an inclusive, client-centered approach that helps every couple feel comfortable in front of the camera—even if you're a little nervous. My motto? Document, not dictate your day.

I’ve been honored to have my work featured in The Knot, Charleston Magazine, Destination I Do, and Black Bride. With every wedding, elopement, and engagement, I bring warmth, professionalism, and creativity to the experience.
