One thing I’ve noticed over the last few years:

Wedding traditions aren’t disappearing.

They’re becoming more intentional.

Couples are asking themselves less often, “What are we supposed to do?” and more often, “What actually matters to us?”

That might mean a huge wedding party.

It might mean no wedding party at all.

It might mean inviting 250 people.

It might mean celebrating with 25.

It might mean a luxury ballroom.

It might mean a backyard full of your favorite people.

And neither is better than the other.

Just different.

The best weddings I’ve photographed haven’t all looked the same. In fact, they usually look completely different from one another.

What they have in common is that the couple made decisions based on what they valued, not what they felt obligated to do.

At the end of the day, your wedding isn’t a test you have to pass.

It’s a celebration you’re creating.

Build it in a way that feels like you.

This one’s for the little things. ✨

The custom wood surfboard guest book filled with messages they’ll keep forever.

The perfectly matched matchbooks sitting beside candlelight.

The individualized cigar boxes and engraved knives waiting for the groomsmen.

My personal favorite new wedding trend: scratch-off lottery tickets. Because who doesn’t love a little extra excitement on wedding day? 🎰

The reserved chair. The framed photo. The little reminder that someone important is still part of the day, even if they can’t physically be there.

The charm tucked into a bouquet so Dad can still walk down the aisle.

These details might seem small in the grand scheme of a wedding day, but they’re often the pieces that tell the deepest story. The things chosen with intention. The things guests remember. The things that make a wedding feel uniquely yours.

I love documenting the big moments—the first kiss, the first dance, the wild dance floor—but I’ll always have a soft spot for the little things too. 🤍

One thing nobody really talks about when hiring a photographer:

You’re not just hiring photos.

You’re hiring a person you’re about to spend a surprising amount of time with.

For weddings, I might spend more time with you on your wedding day than some of your actual guests.

For sessions, we’re usually spending an hour or two wandering around together making conversation and creating something from scratch.

So I figured an introduction was overdue.

Outside of photography you’ll usually find me wandering a record store, exploring a city I’ve never been to before, chasing good light down a random side street, or getting distracted by old trucks, architecture, and dogs.

I love stories.

The kind told through photographs.
The kind told over coffee.
The kind hidden in places most people walk right past.

I think life is too short to take only the safe route.
I think the best photos usually happen somewhere between a plan and complete chaos.
And I think being a little weird is probably a good thing.

Anyway, here’s a little glimpse into the person behind the camera.

If you’ve made it this far, tell me something random about yourself in the comments.

Memorial week & weekend had some wild weather here at the beach in Virginia, but that always leads to beautiful skies and lighting when it clears 🌅

A few of the Millers family beach session - your kiddos grow up faster than you think, it’s always a good time to pause and photograph this time in your life ❤️

Happy 4 year anniversary, Makaila & Brian ❤️

They are the perfect example of sticking through thick and thin — always supporting each other no matter what life throws their way. Watching their story continue to grow has been such a privilege, and now celebrating alongside their new healthy baby makes this season even sweeter. Congratulations to you both, and cheers to many more years together 🥂 So excited to see where life takes you next.

A day well spent with a morning first look at the Norfolk Pagoda, an intimate ceremony at Fort Story, and ending the evening with cake cutting, pool time, and Sandbridge sunsets 🌊

I think the photos people end up loving most years later are rarely the “perfect” ones.

It’s the tiny details that accidentally made it into the frame.

The way someone always held your hand.
The chipped nail polish.
The hoodie they wore constantly.
The truck you thought you’d replace.
The cluttered apartment kitchen.
The ordinary little routines you barely noticed while living them.

That’s the kind of stuff I’m always paying attention to.

Not because it’s aesthetically perfect.

Because it’s real.

I think people wait way too long to document their lives because they think everything has to look more polished first.

Meanwhile the ordinary parts are usually the things that become priceless later.

Lake Rim in Fayetteville, NC was showing off a little 🌿🦆

Water lilies blooming, ducks minding their business, and a quiet reminder that not every beautiful thing needs to be loud.
