Every love story is unique, and I’m here to tell yours in the most beautiful way possible. My approach is focused on capturing the real emotions and connections that make your relationship special. I’ll ensure every moment is preserved in a way that tells your unique love story.

Experience:

With 20 years in the Smoky Mountains and countless weddings captured, I know how to get those perfect shots. My extensive experience means I’m well-versed in handling different lighting conditions, weather changes, and unexpected moments. This expertise allows me to adapt quickly and capture stunning images, no matter the circumstances.

Personalized Service: 

From our first chat to the final delivery, I’m dedicated to making your experience stress-free and fun. I know that planning a wedding can be challenging, so I’m here to guide you through the photography process. My goal is to provide a personalized service that meets your specific needs and preferences.

Artistic Blend:

My style mixes candid and editorial shots with an artistic touch. This combination ensures your photos are not only beautiful but also meaningful. I strive hard to create images that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant, offering a perfect balance of artistic composition and genuine moments.

Quick Turnaround:

I understand how eager you are to see your wedding photos. That’s why I offer sneak peeks within 24 hours and deliver full galleries within two weeks. This quick turnaround time allows you to relive the magic of your day while the memories are still fresh.


My Photography Style

Genuine Moments:

I focus on capturing the real, unposed moments that showcase the true emotions of your day. Whether it’s a loving glance or a spontaneous laugh, these candid shots will be a highlight of your photo collection. My goal is to document the real emotions and connections that make your wedding day unique.

Elegant Compositions:

Alongside candid moments, I create beautifully composed images that highlight the elegance and beauty of your wedding. These photos will add a timeless quality to your album. I pay attention to every detail, from the lighting to the background, to ensure each image is a work of art.

Film and Digital Photography:

I use both film and digital photography to ensure the highest quality images. The film provides a rich, nostalgic feel, while digital offers precision and flexibility. Together, they capture every moment with depth and beauty. This combination allows me to deliver a  wide range of pictures that capture the beauty of your wedding day.

Elopment at Newfound Gap, the Great Smoky mountains

Olivia Whitcomb We could not recommend G enough! Planning a destination wedding from 7 hours away was a little stressful until I found G. She was so helpful with her recommendations. She really takes her time with her work and goes above and beyond. She had previews to us by the next morning and all our photos back to us within 3 days! Blown away! We will definitely use her again when we are in the area for family photos. Thanks so much G! You are amazing!!!
