I am unapologetically a sucker for LOVE and blame the HOPEFUL romantic in me for seeking to capture genuine moments for others to feel what I feel. I am a believer in Christ and without His blessing to find the Purpose behind my PASSION, I wouldn't be where I am today.

I love to capture the intimate and romantic moments but also those carefree, laughing moments. I also have a strong draw towards the moments between the father and daughter. My close relationship with my dad makes those moments so special to capture.

After my brief stint as a model, I was inspired to get a camera of my own. I ended up falling in love with the process of producing videos and haven’t looked back since. I’ve been fortunate enough to get to travel around the world because of my camera.

Robert
Hey there! A little bit about me - Texas native but now call the Carolinas home. TCU grad, Business major, and IT consultant. Enneagram 7 aka the Adventurer. Drone fanatic. Motivated more than anything by being part of a good story, capturing a good story, or even better, both.

I grew up in Hilton Head, SC, graduated from Clemson University, and have landed in the Charlotte area. I am a momma to a sweet little girl and wife to an awesome man that happens to be my high school sweetheart!

I’ve been capturing weddings since 2008. It’s crazy to me that I’ve been doing this over a decade now and it’s still one of my favorite things. I’m humbled that I have a career where I get to make friends wherever I go and capture significant life-changing events for them. It’s incredible!

Hi! I'm Katie, I grew up in the great state of New Jersey (don't laugh!) but have made North Carolina my home since 2006 and I love everything about the South. I have three of the sweetest little doggies ever, and an unbelievably supportive husband. When I am not sitting behind the camera, I am planning our next adventure.
