NOSTALGIC

DIRTY MARTINI'S &

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Wilmington, NC and Charleston, SC. I’m 31 years old, married to my best friend for nine years now, and a proud mama to two beautiful little ones who light up my world. Watching how quickly life moves has given me a deep appreciation for preserving every season we're in; it feels like just yesterday I was planning my own wedding. I wouldn't have anything without the memories captured in photos, and that's exactly what I hope to give my clients.

Most people would probably describe me as the chillest person ever—I love making people laugh, keeping things easy, and having a good time. When I’m not documenting love stories, you’ll find me chasing after my little ones, shopping local, watching sunsets on the beach, jamming to the oldies, Lana, or some cozy jazz. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart (give me all the Nancy Meyers movies, Pride and Prejudice, and every '90s–early 2000s love story), and I’ll never say no to a plate of pasta or a margarita (or a dirty martini, depending on the night).

I've been capturing moments for as long as I can remember, but I officially turned my passion into a business in 2017 and I truly can't imagine doing anything else.

With love, always,

love

MY WHY

for

Photography has always been the way I hold onto what matters most. What started as a childhood passion turned into a lifelong love for capturing the real, fleeting moments that become part of a family’s story. I’m inspired by film, fashion, and the kind of romance that feels like it could live on forever. My heart is in making sure your love story feels seen, celebrated, and preserved in a way that’s effortless, nostalgic, and true to you.
