A delightful evening with Sam Bush and friends at the Ryman Auditorium recently. Always a pleasure, thanks so much for having me. ❤️🙂

I'm excited to introduce the new Essential Collection for fall 2026 and beyond.
Over the past few years, I've had many meaningful conversations with couples planning micro weddings, elopements, and smaller celebrations. Many of them want meaningful photographs, but don't need all-day coverage.
The Essential Collection is a thoughtful addition to my existing wedding offerings—four consecutive hours of coverage designed specifically for smaller celebrations and focused on the moments that matter most.
Don't worry, MY LARGER WEDDING COLLECTIONS AREN'T GONG ANYWHERE! They're still available for couples planning full wedding days and those wanting more extensive coverage. The Essential Collection simply offers another intentional way to tell the story.
Because not every wedding needs full-day coverage. Sometimes four thoughtful hours are exactly enough.

Why do I prefer sending people to my website and why don’t I rely heavily on social media for my photography? I feel it often prioritizes trends and quick hits over depth and storytelling, especially in the past few years. A website gives me the freedom to share my work in a more thoughtful, complete way—real weddings, real moments, and full narratives, not just highlights. It allows me to be consistent and authentic without feeling pressure to follow short-lived styles, and it reflects how I actually work: intentionally, calmly, and with focus on what lasts. So if you are inclined, check it out and please reach out if you have Wedding or Event needs.
