Weddings, elopements and portraits · Asheville

You live the day. I'll keep the light it happened in.

Honest, unhurried photographs of the people you love, made in the places that mean something to you.

About

Hello, and thank you for being here

I photograph weddings, elopements and portraits from Asheville, and further afield when you ask. I love early light, long walks away from the crowd, and the small in-between moments nobody thinks to pose for.

If you'd like photographs that feel like the day felt, and not like a list of shots, tell me about yours. Ask me anything, from the timeline to what to wear.

The process

How we'll work together

Four steps, and a few good questions at each one.

  1. Enquire

    Send your date, the place you have in mind, and how you found us. A rough idea is plenty to start.

  2. A call

    We talk about the people, the places and the pace you'd like. Ask anything about how a day like yours could go.

  3. The day

    Share a loose timeline and the family photos that matter most to you, and ask where the best light will be.

  4. Your gallery

    Ask how your photos arrive, and how to share them with family or turn your favourites into prints.

Investment

The guide has every collection and price

Collections and pricing are in the guide, sent on request. Tell me your date and what you're planning, and add any questions you'd like answered alongside it.
