BEHIND
the LENS
I’m a born and raised Kentucky girl who loves to travel, pet dogs, read copious amounts of books and listen to the rain.
I work alongside my couples to craft images that are seamlessly editorial — brimming with genuine affection, breathtaking sceneries, and candid moments (with the direction they need to achieve the photos they want) I am endlessly inspired by shadows and fashion, and I view weddings as intricate, emotional events that continue to captivate me.
I had a VERY specific vision for how I wanted the eternal heirlooms of our wedding day to look. I stumbled across Sydney and it was love at first sight.

Sydney is truly one of the best there is! She is kind, funny, compassionate, and has a wicked eye behind the lens!

Our Style
I’m all about capturing love and life – but every time I looked at typical couples photos or browsed Pinterest, I saw a lot of sameness. Same generic poses. Same lighting. Same detail shots. Don’t get me wrong – we all need a photo our grandma can proudly display on the fridge. But I prefer to temper the traditional with an editorial approach on both digital and analog formats.
Our Story
My journey into photography began in high school with a required art credit class and continued on with an internship under a local editorial photographer. In my early years of photography I focused on portraits, but as my friends started falling in love I too fell into the wedding industry.
Our Method
Your day will be captured authentically, yet artfully. From the second you put on that dress or suit to the moment you drive off in to the sunset. While we value those posed portraits straight out of Vogue, we also want your wedding gallery to transport you right back to the happiest day of your life: filled with tender candid moments and sentimental details.
" Not only did our photos turn out more beautiful than we could have imagined she also just brought a presence that was so calming on our wedding day. Having her there and knowing how well she knew the schedule for the day took so much pressure off me as the bride and eased my anxiety"
