If you’ve been around here for a while, you might remember that weddings used to be a big part of my photography business. And then… I stepped away.
Not because I stopped loving weddings — but because life shifted in the most important way.
When I was pregnant with Lettie, I knew I needed to slow down. Weddings are full, emotional, all-day commitments, and I wanted to give myself the space to be present during that season. After she was born, I leaned all the way into motherhood, soaking up those early days that go by way too fast.
But here’s the thing about passion… it doesn’t just disappear.
Why I’m Bringing Weddings Back
Lately, I’ve felt that pull again — the excitement, the creativity, the joy that comes from documenting a wedding day. And I’m ready to step back in… just differently this time.
I’m not going back to a packed calendar of weddings every weekend.
Instead, I’m opening the door for a limited number of weddings each year, focusing on what I love most:
Intimate weddings n- Small, meaningful celebrations
Local venues close to home
Because this season of life matters too.
I want to be there for my kids on slow Saturday mornings — breakfast at Fat Baby's, soccer games, all the little things — and then head into a wedding day feeling fully present and excited to serve my couples.
My Favorite Kind of Wedding Day
Over the years, I’ve learned exactly what kind of weddings light me up.
It’s not about how big or elaborate the day is — it’s about how it feels.
I love:
Backyard weddings filled with personality
Small venue celebrations with your closest people
Intentional timelines that leave room to breathe
Real moments over perfectly posed ones
There’s something really special about intimate weddings. They’re relaxed, emotional, and incredibly personal — and that’s where the magic happens.
Experience That Supports You
Even though I stepped away for a season, I’m not starting from scratch.
I’ve photographed weddings at beautiful local venues, worked through fast-paced timelines, and helped couples navigate the flow of their day from start to finish.
One of the biggest things I bring to a wedding (besides photos, of course) is timeline support.
I help you:
Build a photography timeline that actually works
Plan for lighting, travel, and real-life timing
Keep the day moving without making it feel rushed
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own — I’m there to guide you every step of the way.
Local Weddings, Done Well
There’s something I really love about local weddings here in Eastern North Carolina.
From charming venues to unique reception spaces, there are so many beautiful options right here close to home. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph at local venues and it’s always a reminder that you don’t have to travel far for a stunning, meaningful celebration.
Choosing a local wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing style or experience — it means creating a day that feels true to you, in a place that matters.
What This Means Moving Forward
If you’re planning a wedding and looking for a photographer, here’s what you can expect from me:
A limited number of wedding dates available each year
A focus on intimate and local weddings
A personalized, hands-on experience
Guidance with timelines and planning
Natural, true-to-you images that tell your story
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right weddings — the ones that align with this season of life and allow me to show up fully for both my family and my clients.
