Whether it’s a Nashville wedding, a U.S. wedding, or a “pack your bags, we’re going international” wedding—I’m there. My favorite part? Making brides laugh, relax, and actually enjoy being in front of the camera (yes, it’s possible). My goal is simple: I want your wedding day to be fun, stress-free, and memorable. And in twenty years, when you’re flipping through your album, I want you to smile, cry happy tears, and maybe even laugh at your uncle’s questionable dance moves all over again.

When you hire me, you’re not just getting a wedding photographer—you’re getting 30 years of wedding-world survival skills. I’ve tied ties, pinned boutonnieres, bustled dresses, and even played backup MC when needed. Basically, I’ve done everything short of baking the cake (and trust me, you don’t want me to try that). Most importantly, I know how to capture every moment that makes your wedding uniquely yours.

My job isn’t just to take photos—it’s to make your day easier. I’ll help you breathe, laugh, and get the images you’ve always wanted. Hey, I’ve seen it all—and I’m more than happy to share tips, tricks, and maybe a few survival hacks to keep things running smoothly.

This is your day. You deserve to enjoy it. I’ll handle the photos—you just handle the “I do.”

Style

Over the last thirty years, I’ve developed, honed, perfected—and then completely reinvented—my photography style (because perms, shoulder pads, and mullets thankfully don’t last forever). I don’t box myself in as just a photojournalist, a portrait photographer, or a candid connoisseur—I cover all the bases.

Here’s why that matters: weddings are fluid, unpredictable, and full of surprises. One minute it’s a perfectly posed portrait of your parents, the next it’s your bridesmaids going full Olympic mode over the bouquet toss, and then suddenly there’s a tearful hug that tells an entire love story in a single frame.

A portrait photographer might nail the formal shots. A candid specialist might snag the laughter. A photojournalist might capture the emotion. But at your wedding? You deserve all of it—and that’s exactly what I deliver.

Approach

In a word – FUN!  Hey, I get it, it sounds kinda weird…trust me, after 35 years, I know what works.

My definition of fun is you smiling and enjoying yourself!

For me, fun isn’t about forcing laughter or staging over-the-top poses…it’s about creating an environment where you naturally feel at ease. My process is lighthearted and stress-free, designed to take the pressure off the camera and let you simply enjoy your day.

I guide my couples with easy, relaxed prompts to bring out real smiles, little bursts of laughter, and genuine moments between you and your people. Instead of worrying about what to do with your hands or how you look.

Creative/Arisitic

Being creative is about seeing your story in a way that feels unique, using the environment or your small details to tell your story.

My process is flexible and intuitive. I might play with light streaming through a window, frame a shot through a doorway, or capture a reflection that tells a deeper layer of your story.  I let the setting, the people, and the energy of the day inspire me, so even the gallery has its own personality instead of feeling cookie-cutter.

Problem Solver

“If someone tells me I am gonna regret that in the morning – I sleep till noon!  I’m a problem solver”

I have never been to a wedding in 35 years that ran perfectly,  so, if it is gonna take stress off you and make for a better day, let’s fix it! Missing bouquet, forgotten wedding rings, need more chairs, fixing a cuff link or tying a tie.  I can put my camera down and do what needs to be done to make sure things go smooth.

Goal

My goal is to bring a joyful energy that carries you through each part of your day with ease. When you look back at your photos, I want you to feel the moment, not just how beautiful your day was.
