Hi, I’m Whitney, a mama of three boys, living a slow, grounded life on a little slice of land with my husband. And I will be bringing that same calm, steady presence into every wedding day I’m a part of.
My approach is intentionally relaxed yet deeply refined with blending candid storytelling with gentle direction to create imagery that feels effortless, emotional, and timeless. By the time your wedding day arrives, everything has been thoughtfully planned and perfected together. I’ll show up with my binder in hand, every detail organized from top to bottom, so you can fully let go and be present.
Throughout the day, I step in where needed, smoothing out the in-between moments and guiding things with ease. Family pictures during cocktail hour is my specialty, I direct and flow through portraits so seamlessly that you’ll actually have time to step away, mingle with your people, and soak it all in. I’m there for more than just photographs. I'm there to support you, keep things moving effortlessly, and create space for you to experience your day as it unfolds.
The result is a gallery that not only reflects how your day looked, but how it felt, honest, connected, and beautifully you.
Xoxo,
Whitney

Hey hey!! I’m Whitney 🤍 I’m a North Carolina native, mama bear to my boys, Sundrop enthusiast, airplane fan, and photographer who thrives on capturing all the messy, magical, and downright beautiful moments that make your wedding (and life!) feel like you. I’m a little loud with my laughs, big on hugs, and love making couples feel totally relaxed and themselves in front of the camera.
I’m obsessed with golden light, dreamy fields, mountains, florals, and even those tiny mushrooms popping up in the most magical spots. basically anything that gives your photos that warm, earthy, moody, whimsical vibe ✨. I live for stolen glances, belly laughs, happy tears, and all the little in-between moments that make your love story uniquely yours. My job is to catch it all authentically, while you enjoy your day stress-free.
My style is playful, candid, and romantic — I want your photos to feel alive, emotional, and 100% true to YOU. I love helping couples feel confident, have fun, and just be themselves while I quietly capture the magic all around them.
When I’m not photographing love stories, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, sipping too much Sundrop, watching airplanes, hunting for mushrooms, hugging my boys a little too tight, or planning my next adventure. Life’s better when you embrace the messy, beautiful, joyful moments — and that’s exactly what I want your wedding photos to show.
