Does this sound like you? You want to book a photographer, but there are so many options out there. Maybe you want to book a wedding photographer, but the wedding industry is so contrived. You want wedding photos that are timeless, but modern, and that capture you as you really are. And you want to have a conversation with a wedding photographer that actually feels like a conversation, and not a sales pitch.
Or how about this? You want family photos that aren't stilted and awkward – everyone standing in a row. You want authentic smiles and candid moments. Or you want gorgeous engagement photos, but don't want to be directed into cheesy photos that just aren't you. Maybe you want graduation photos that are artful and authentic, and hey, throw in a new headshot too. Is this you? Let's talk.

frequently asked questions

Do you travel?

We are always open to travel to new spots to photograph unique projects. We don't charge travel fees to couples getting married in NC, SC, or VA. Outside of those states, we'll work up a custom proposal that includes travel. 

How would you describe your style?

We like to use the word authentic when we describe our style. We photograph you, your wedding, and your family as you are. You are a person, not a mood board. We use both film and digital cameras to make our images. Film has a unique color profile that is inherently timeless and beautiful.  

How does your pricing work?

We send custom quotes to all of our couples. For weddings, most couples spend between $3,200 to $5,000. Sessions start at $500. For events and other unique projects, please inquire.
