the artful moments that will last a lifetime.
I photograph honest, heartfelt moments
Creating sentimental, heirlooms with documentary artistry that feels alive artful and timeless.
My Style Is Warm, Soulful, And Cinematic
I’m drawn to the honest beauty of natural light, the romance of outdoor landscapes, and the quiet magic found in well-designed spaces. Whether it’s a mountainside elopement or a thoughtfully styled city celebration.
My clients care deeply about how their wedding feels as much as how it looks. They value intentional design, emotional storytelling, and images that feel timeless yet full of soul.
I proudly celebrate love in all its forms, LGBTQ+ couples, all body types, all love stories. You deserve to feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable in front of the camera.
What’s It Like Working With Me?
Think of our time together less as a photoshoot and more as an experience. One rooted in connection, comfort, and trust.
I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts to help you feel at ease, but never over-posed. I might ask you to move together, share a quiet story, or a private joke. My approach is intentional and focused on capturing the in-between moments that feel the most like you.
You won’t have to perform for the camera. You just get to be present with each other, with the setting, and with the meaning behind the day.
By the end, you’ll have timeless photographs that honor your love, your story, and the art of this fleeting, sacred moment in your lives.
My Investment In You…
There are a lot of photographers out there- I know. You are probably feeling overwhelmed and anxious with the choices in front of you. I know that my approach is not for everyone, but it's for the right people. That is what matters.
I craft photos for each couple and client with intention. I make it my mission to get to know you so I can tell your story wholeheartedly. Friendship and connection are at the core of my business. It is never a transactional process to me. I am drawn to the deeply soulful, joyous moments, and the intimacy between two people. For the couples that choose me- I am committed to bringing those moments to life.

I’m endlessly inspired by analog film because of the way it captures moments with softness and imperfection. Each frame feels alive, unrepeatable, and deeply human. There’s a kind of magic in not knowing exactly what you’ve created until it’s developed, a reminder to slow down and trust the beauty of the in-between.

As a Charlotte and Asheville wedding and family photographer, I’m drawn to the way movement tells a story. The wind in your hair, fabric sweeping, laughter caught mid-spin. My dreamy, documentary-style approach captures these candid moments so your photos alive, natural, and timeless.

Art deeply inspires my photography, shaping the way I see light, color, and emotion through a poetic lens. I approach each session as a work of art. Intentional, expressive, and story-driven.

Loved every shot! Vanessa was professional and enjoyable to work with, and she was so great with my four-year-old son. Her photos are beautiful, natural, and not too "pose-y," which is exactly what I was hoping for. She captured my family perfectly.
