Serving premium wedding clients worldwide.
After two decades of capturing the essence of weddings in historic Saint Augustine, Florida, I've decided to embark on a new journey. I've chosen to explore the awe-inspiring beauty of the Western North Carolina mountains. This has led to establishing a new studio location, where I specialize in documenting the most cherished moments in the vibrant Asheville, North Carolina, area. I now proudly serve clients in my beloved St. Augustine, FL, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. I feel very blessed to work with folks in both locations, as well as, destination wedding clients worldwide.
“I take pride in creating vibrant and properly exposed images that capture the essence of every wedding. With over twenty years of experience in wedding photography, I have witnessed various style trends come and go. As a result, I choose to steer clear of the current popular trend of washed-out, overly filtered wedding photos. My ideal clients are those who appreciate timeless images that stand out and serve as evocative heirlooms to document their wedding story.”
