How did you get to where you are now?
I had always enjoyed photography as a hobby, but pursuing it as a career didn’t occur to me until after I got married. The experience we had with our wedding photographer was a lightbulb moment for me, so I dove in headfirst and haven’t looked back since.
What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?
Your wedding day will be one of the most important events of your life. As your photographer, I will not only be there to capture the joy and emotion the day of. I focus on providing you with a complete experience from start to finish. I like to think of myself as your partner throughout the wedding planning process. I will ask all the right questions to make sure that nothing is missed when it comes to your photos. By the time your wedding day arrives, you will already know you are in good hands. All you have to do is enjoy the day and be present. I promise to take care of your memories as if they were my own.

What’s your best piece of advice for couples planning a wedding?
Your engagement is one of the most special times of your relationship. Remember to take a break from the planning every so often and just enjoy each other.
What’s your favorite moment during a wedding?
The first dance and parent dances. They are so special and sweet, and always full of emotion.
What are your favorite wedding trends right now?
Bolder color palettes, unique ceremony structures, and coordinating bridesmaids dresses, over matching dresses.
How do you de-stress?
This is a hot topic right now! Lately, I’ve found the healthiest way for me to de-stress is by listening to nostalgic or classical music.
What’s your favorite food/dish/cuisine?
Mexican and seafood – shrimp chimichangas are my jam!
What are your top three favorite movies?
I have so many favorite movies, but at the top of the list are Forrest Gump, Mean Girls, and Wedding Crashers.
Do you love to travel? If so, what are some must-see destinations?
I don’t get to travel nearly as much as I want, but Nashville has been my favorite city so far. I just love all of the music – it’s every genre, not just country music that you hear when you’re out and about.
What is your most-used emoji?
The “laughing with tears coming out of my eyes” one. Haha! 😂
What is your favorite season of the year and why?
After a cold and grey winter, I’m always so ready for spring. The mild temperatures, sunshine, greenery and, fresh blooms make me happy!
