Wedding Photography That Feels Effortless

Your wedding day should feel joyful, not staged. I step in with gentle guidance when you need it and fade into the background when you don’t — capturing real laughter, emotional embraces, and the quiet in-between moments that make your day unforgettable. My approach is calm, intuitive, and artful, so you can stay fully present while I preserve every meaningful detail.

A Seamless, Stress-Free Experience

From our first conversation to final gallery delivery, I make the process simple, organized, and enjoyable. I help with timelines, lighting decisions, location ideas, and vendor referrals so your day flows naturally and you never feel rushed or unsure.

Destination & Location Expertise

Whether you’re celebrating in Knoxville, the Great Smoky Mountains, or planning a destination wedding, I bring experience photographing in a variety of landscapes, venues, and lighting conditions. From mountaintop views to elegant estates and coastal sunsets, I know how to adapt to each setting while preserving the timeless, refined style my couples love. I also offer guidance on portrait locations and lighting timing so your surroundings are captured at their absolute best.

photography timeline support

I work alongside your planner or coordinator to build a photography timeline that allows everything to flow naturally and without stress. While I’m not a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, having one is essential to keep your day running smoothly. My role is to ensure we have the right lighting, enough time for portraits, and space for genuine moments to unfold — so your photos feel effortless and never rushed.

QUICK and quality DELIVERY

You’ll receive a curated sneak peek within 24 hours of your wedding. Your full gallery is delivered within two weeks, with high-resolution images ready for printing, sharing, and preserving for generations.

EFFORTLESS, EDITORIAL WEDDING IMAGERY

My approach blends refined editorial direction with genuine, unscripted moments. I gently guide when needed and step back when it matters most, capturing elegant portraits alongside the laughter, emotion, and in-between memories that make your wedding day truly yours.

Travel Fees Included in the Smoky Mountains
