If there’s one thing I’ve learned from trying to put a bio together, it’s that I have basically five photos of myself. This is one of them.

I’m an adventure-loving coffee snob, and I work with folks on their Best Days Ever. If my business were a person, it could get its driver’s license this year, which kinda blows my mind. I’ve been lucky enough to shoot weddings and elopements all across the US, from Yosemite National Park to Brooklyn and everywhere in between! Good views & good company are two of my faves.

When I’m not working with badass couples, you can find me camping and hiking with my husband, Aubrey, and our 10-year-old daughter. Side note - my husband is awesome. We’ve been married for 16 years, and he’s my absolute best bud. We got married as mere infants (at 21 and 22) and we do basically everything together. Our kid is awesome too - she’s unbelievably smart and kind. She keeps us laughing and on our toes! We’re huge baseball fans (Go Braves!), and we’ve been known to drive through the night for a good hike or a great concert. We’re avid travelers, and are never not planning our next big trip (usually planned with climbing or backpacking on the itinerary). I’m newly into making pottery, and I am obsessed with my weekly wheel throwing classes. Hopefully I’ll be able to showcase some of that work soon - right now I am still figuring it out.

We’re also a crazy cat family - we have two cats, Freddie & Louise, and our daughter refers to them as her siblings 🥲

I’ve also got a team of amazing associate & second shooters, and their bios are coming soon!
We are a collection of the best wedding photographers in Las Vegas - you’ll be in expert hands with us.

We relocated from Atlanta to Las Vegas in 2022, and we jumped right into photographing elopements in Las Vegas, elopements at Lake Tahoe, engagement sessions at Arches National Park, and everything in between. Las Vegas is central to so many amazing outdoor destinations, and we’re happy to help you plan the photos of your dreams.
We are always up for an adventure, and our passports are ready.

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, anniversary session, engagement photos, anything involving a backpack and a tent: let’s talk!

🏳️‍🌈 We are LGBTQ+ allies, and believe in equality for all! 🏳️‍🌈
I’m proud to not only support but also celebrate love and marriage for everyone worldwide.
Because love is love and love always wins.
