Your love is nuanced, layered, one of a kind and your photos should reflect that. Inspired by poetry, travel, and the art of observation, I capture the way your story *feels*, not just how it looks. The way a hand lingers, the soft exhale before a kiss, the glance that says everything.

Editorial, intimate & always authentic to you

Where art & 
collide

 connection

As a documentary Nashville wedding photographer there are no forced moments. No staged perfection. Just you—fully present, fully yourself. My approach is intuitive, allowing space for the quiet in-between moments to shine. The result? Images that feel effortless, timeless, and deeply personal.

thoughtfully

Somewhere between documentary and fine art, my work lives in that perfect balance of refined and unfiltered. Think editorial meets intimacy—elegant but not posed, spontaneous but never chaotic. Every frame is intentional. Every detail, noticed.

Based in Nashville, available wherever your story takes us.  


I first picked up a camera at the age of 14 and never put it back down. I found my love for weddings in 2020 and have shot over 60 weddings since with an additional 32 weddings booked for 2024. With that being said, you are in good hands.

As a Nashville wedding photographer I value timeless editing, bold colors, and capturing the often overlooked moments during a wedding day. I prioritize relationship building with my clients so if you book with me you're not just getting a wedding photographer, but a new friend and supporter to be there with you through the whole process!

the artist

Intimate nashville weddings & elopements photographer

An intimate wedding isn’t about skipping the celebration — it’s about curating a day that reflects you, not the status quo. No obligations — just the people who matter most and the kind of quiet luxury that comes from doing things your own way. It would be my honor to capture it all with intention.
