My best friend Mary is the oldest of four. Her brother Mike is the younger of her two brothers. I’ve known him as long as I’ve known Mary, which is a loooong time. We met in 1998 in the 4th grade. It’s so weird to me still to think of him as a fully grown […]

When Wes texted me asking if I was available to photograph his proposal to Claire, I didn’t think it was actually going to happen. I legitimately asked him if I was being punked! I didn’t believe it until I saw the ring. I met Wes and Claire when they joined the small group that Mike […]

I met Sylvia in a small group at Grace Community Church back in 2013. We became roommates in 2014, but then Mike proposed to me so I moved out in 2015 so I could get married and move in with him instead! Sylvia is a bundle of JOY. Seriously, if you look up joy in […]

Amanda & Jason’s WRAL Azalea Garden Wedding was featured on Bustld Triangle in their Weddings Like Yours section! This is our first feature on Bustld and we are incredibly excited and overjoyed that they wanted to share Amanda & Jason’s story! If you can’t remember all that happened (as it was over a year ago!), check […]

I met Jon a few years ago when I was attending Grace Community Church in Fulton, MD. We were both on the leadership team for the Young Adults community there (which by the way, was the most special group of people I ever had the privilege of doing life with). I met Tania through Jon […]

Mike and I met Alyssa + Tristan when they joined our small group a few months ago. These two have been so fun to get to know! Soon after arriving at JC Raulston Arboretum at North Carolina State University’s campus, we learned that Tristan did LOTS of research on engagement photos! Usually, we have to […]

It’s not every day that the surprise proposal you are photographing gets recorded by the local news! ABC 11’s Stephanie Lopez WTVD happened to be at UNC’s Old Well right before Chris asked Amberly to marry him! When I mentioned they’d be coming by, she stuck around to capture the moment. See the story (and a cameo […]

When Mike and I first moved to Raleigh we, for lack of a better term, shopped around for a church to attend. When we were in our deciding process, we attending a Young Professionals gathering at The Summit Church. It was here that we met Megan. She became our first official friend in Raleigh! We […]

When I emailed Collette to follow-up with her after her initial inquiry into wedding photography, I received quite possibly the best response I have ever had the privilege to read. I asked her to give me more details on her and Patrick’s big day, and this is how she responded: Our wedding day is going […]

On October 4th I received an email from my contact form from Collette. She started by saying she loves my style and way of capturing a story–words any photographer would love to hear! When I asked her how she had heard about me, she said: Honestly, in unfortunately typical 2017 fashion, I have no idea […]
