Happy Pride Month 🌈

Getting to document Kayla & Erin’s wedding day at Bakery 105 here in downtown Wilmington was such an honor. Their day was full of joy, tenderness, laughter, deep connection—and the kind of love that feels effortless simply because it’s real.

Love is love. Always.

I believe every couple deserves to feel fully seen, celebrated, respected, and safe exactly as they are.

When you’re in front of my camera, my hope is that you feel comfortable enough to exhale… to be yourselves… to hold each other the way you naturally do… and to know your story is being documented with care and without hesitation.

Creating that space matters deeply to me.

No matter who you love, your story deserves to be told beautifully. Your connection deserves to be honored. And your wedding photographs should feel like home when you look back on them years from now.

To every couple looking for a photographer who will celebrate you exactly as you are—you are welcome here. Always.

Happy Pride Month, and cheers to love in all its beautiful forms 🤍

Here's a little photo story for you. These are the moments I live for during the wedding day. The emotional moments. The moments you've spend your whole life dreaming of. The moments you know you'll remember forever. The first look with the father of the bride and the bride is one of those moments. It’s not just the big reaction that gets me. It’s the breath he takes when he turns around. The pause before he says anything at all.
Sometimes it’s tears. Sometimes laughter. Sometimes he just looks at her quietly like he’s seeing every version of his little girl all at once.

These are the moments I’m always looking for on a wedding day—the ones unfolding in between the expected ones. The tiny, fleeting pieces of emotion that can never be recreated, but somehow become the moments you hold onto forever.

Sometimes the details deserve their own moment.

The lace on this gown was so beautifully intricate, we knew we had to photograph it in a way that felt a little different—less about simply showing the dress, and more about capturing the feeling of it.

The light, the texture, the softness… all of it came together like art for just a second—and I’m so glad we caught it. ✨

The little things? They’re never really little. ✨

The handwritten vow books. The heirloom ring from your grandmother. Custom tie for your dad with a sweet reminder of his little girl. The vintage fishery book you found while away on a weekend getaway.

These details tell your story in a way nothing else can.

Your wedding should feel like you—not a copy of what everyone else is doing on Pinterest. And when you pour intention into the details, your photos become so much more meaningful because they preserve pieces of your personality that might otherwise be forgotten.

Years from now, these are the images that will instantly take you back.

The little things matter more than you think.

I photographed a lovely Micro Wedding a couple of weeks ago on Emerald Isle, NC. We had the best time! I mean seriously? How stunning is this bride? Breathtaking!

Oh how I love the drama of a beautiful bride, a long veil, and a historic home! Truly the trifecta of perfection!

Stay tuned… it’s going to be magic ✨

This right here… this is the good stuff.

The giggles, the tiny expressions, the way they look at you like you’re their whole world—this season goes by faster than anyone ever warns you about.

And I know most people find me through weddings… but getting to document families and little ones like this? It means just as much to me. Maybe even more.

Because these are the photos you’ll come back to years from now, trying to remember exactly what this stage felt like.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a family or milestone session, this is your sign. Don’t wait for the “perfect time”—this is the moment.
