FEATURED WEDDING

McRae Meadows at Grandfather Mountain Linville, NC

Tasha & Cody

Tasha’s vision was beautiful blue skies with McRae Peak reaching high in the background. But the wedding day was so foggy you could only see a few feet. When it was time for the wedding, the fog lifted enough to see across the meadow and made for some stunning imagery.

Fueled by equal parts sci-fi and music, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile, and ask time to please slow down. Your story…your love… is beautiful and I can’t wait to capture this in images you will treasure for years to come. 

I believe in Jesus, church, and family. In real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Btw,  wasn’t I a cute little fella? 🙂
