The day was absolutely radiant, the serene landscape nestled just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. The venue was The Barn at Firefly Lane, a charming rustic setting that harmonized beautifully with the natural surroundings. It was as if this idyllic location had been specifically designed with Erica and Andy in mind, fitting their laid-back and authentic vibe like a glove. Erica and Andy, two souls that radiated love and warmth, were a delight to photograph. There was a certain kind of magic in capturing their love story, an honor that made me feel incredibly grateful. As a photographer, there are few things more rewarding than immortalizing authentic love stories, and Erica and Andy's was absolutely one for the books. The day was not without its small challenges, though. A sudden drizzle had begun, nature's own way of adding a dramatic touch to the day. But, far from being a deterrent, the rain only pushed us under the patio at the back of the barn. The vendors at the venue took it in stride, relocating the ceremony without a hitch. This unexpected turn of events actually added to the charm of the occasion, making the ceremony feel intimate and close-knit. The backdrop of rain gently falling against the lush woods surrounding the barn gave the ceremony an ethereal touch. As Erica and Andy exchanged their vows, the words "I do" echoed through the hushed silence, each syllable punctuated by the soft patter of raindrops. The kiss that sealed their vows was one filled with love and warmth, a perfect symbol of their union. As the ceremony concluded, we all headed to the reception. The night was a joyful cacophony of heartfelt speeches that left many teary-eyed, delicious food that satiated the palate, and dancing. Oh, the dancing! It was a sight to behold, with everyone, young and old, swaying and twirling to the beat. The air was filled with laughter and cheer as the night wore on, the perfect end to a day that celebrated love in its purest form. In the heart of Nashville, at The Barn at Firefly Lane, Erica and Andy's love story unfolded beautifully, a memorable day filled with love, laughter, and a little rain. As a photographer, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to capture, a day that truly celebrated the beauty of love.

My maiden voyage to Colorado, specifically to photograph Laura and Seth's engagement, remains an unforgettable chapter in my life. Colorado's mountains, reaching dizzying heights of 12,500 ft, were quite literally breath-taking, their beauty serving as an idyllic backdrop for the couple's love. Laura and Seth, the warm souls they are, opened their home to me for the duration of the trip, reaffirming my belief in the power of client connection. Immersing myself in their world, capturing the palpable, intimate bond they shared through my lens, was a privilege and a joy. This experience didn't just yield a series of photos; it birthed friendships that I cherish deeply. Their hospitality was as heartwarming to me as the photos were treasured by them.The grandeur of the photos directly mirrors the profound love Laura and Seth share, with each image resonating their affection and companionship. This experience has made me realize that there is so much beauty and love to capture out there in the world. I am now more convinced than ever that travel photography has a significant role to play in my foreseeable future.

There's something undeniably magical about being a photographer, about holding the power to freeze moments in time, to weave stories from light and shadow, and to capture emotions that words often fail to express. It's an experience that never fails to fill my heart with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Each click of the shutter, each image I capture, is not merely a photograph, but a cherished memory. Every time I look through the lens, I see the world in its raw, beautiful essence, and each picture I take is an attempt to share that beauty with others. Every smile, every tear, every sweet, fleeting moment that I manage to capture is a testament to the joy and beauty of life. These precious moments are invaluable to my clients and friends. They are the ones who entrust me with the task of immortalizing their most cherished moments, of capturing their joy, their love, their dreams in the form of photographs. Their trust and their satisfaction are my greatest rewards. But beyond that, these photographs are a testament to my journey as a photographer. Each image marks a step in my evolution, a chapter in my story. They are a timeline, tracing my growth, my learning, my experiences. They are the tangible proof of the countless hours of dedication, the tireless nights, the endless pursuit of perfection. They are the milestones of my journey, the reminders of where I started and how far I've come. Looking back at these photographs, I can't help but feel a surge of ecstasy. The thrill of capturing a perfect moment, the joy of seeing my clients' faces light up when they see their images, the satisfaction of knowing that I have created something beautiful and lasting - these feelings are indescribable. Being a photographer is not just a profession for me, it's a passion, a calling. It's a journey filled with incredible experiences, memorable moments, and priceless rewards. It's a journey I'm proud to be on, and I couldn't be more ecstatic about what lies ahead.

A Friday at The Charleston: Amelia and Chris's Wedding

Reid is THE best photographer by far! When planning my wedding I was so indecisive on vendors, but as soon as I saw Reid’s work and talked to him, I knew he was the photographer for us!! He was so easy and fun to work with. His personality made the whole process even that much better. Everyone from the wedding still compliments just how great and kind he was! And did I mention his photos are phenomenal?! Seriously has a great eye! Definitely will be booking him again for family photos!
Thank you Reid!!!

Jaime Nguyen

Reid was able to capture my daughters personality in every photo of her maternity shoot. He was very professional and had some very unique ideas that turned into amazing pictures. He ensured that he took every idea for the pictures that we wanted and put his professional spin on them and made them happen. He was very considerate of my daughters nervousness and put her at ease.  The turnaround to get the pictures back was amazingly quick! Before we left the shoot we had 2 more sessions scheduled with him. His prices are very reasonable! Just book with him, you won’t be disappointed!!

Lana Beckim

Reid is the ABSOLUTE best!! Not only is he super nice and fun to work with but his work is absolutely stunning—he delivers dreamy perfection every single time without fail! Our wedding day got super stressful but Reid kept us all upbeat and laughing the whole time, honestly saving my day because without his positivity and good vibes I would have went crazy. He is THE MAN when it comes to photography so quit wondering if you should book him and just do it bc you will not regret it!!

Michaela Trzepacz

Yesterday was a fun, loving, and adventurous day! Reid made our engagement session fun and light hearted! I cannot thank him enough for making it such a special day for us. One of the many things that drew me to Reid was the fact that he’s different and unique. His beautiful photos definitely resemble that! We will definitely be using you for future photo opportunities!!
