I love the lights, the energy, the way people open up and let loose.
I've never been an adrenaline junkie in a jump out of planes way. But the collective energy you feel surrounded by others at parties is just so addicting.
So going into the wedding world was like the perfect fit haha.
I've shot weddings for the last 7 years, been a photographer since childhood (first camera was a pink Kodak point and shoot that I still have).
NC was my home base for years, and I bounced around from there. Did Euro adventures, went up and down the east coast, did some island hopping.
But just when I was ready to just pick either NC or NYC, the West Coast surprised me and I became obsessssssed.
So now I try to balance my time between the 3. Living on the West Coast, working in NY, and visiting home when I can.
I've really decided to embrace the real as its truly the best way to make unique art.
I love working with couples who want to stay immersed in their day and plan their photos around that mindset. Of course we can set up editorial shots and plan cool things.
But the truly special moments happen when you just let life unfold.
