I discovered photography while attending North Georgia College and State University. Very quickly I fell in love with the subject, spending endless hours snapping shots then painstakingly watching them come to life in the darkroom... joyfully getting my hands dirty.

Early on, I knew that a traditional "9-5" job was not for me. After graduating college with a Bachelor of Arts in Art Marketing, I decided to pursue a career in photography. I interned and assisted several well known photographers in the Atlanta area. The opportunity to observe these professionals at work confirmed my growing desire to start my own business. I began with children and family portraiture while honing the craft of wedding photojournalism.

My ultimate passion is shooting weddings. I love every aspect of weddings. From the gowns, to the flowers, to the venue ... the list is never ending. It is because of these very reasons that my aim is to take photographs as a journalist takes notes. NO detail is too small.

After your wedding is over, all that remains is tired feet, leftover cake, and priceless memories. My wish is to be your unblinking eyes on what is to be the most special day of your life, eternally capturing these memories so that when you look back at your weddings photographs you see nothing other than joy personified.
