AN ORGANIC SPACE FOR THOSE THAT VALUE THE SMALL MOMENTS.
Note: I’m currently based in Greenville, SC but take me anywhere.

Weddings
WEDDINGS
Origin: An intimate wedding is typically a “normal” wedding day with a smaller guest list. In lieu of the giant banquet hall and generic chicken + potatoes meal, you’ll most likely opt for a smaller location and a guest list of maybe one or two-dozen people. I love more intimate wedding days because you have a bit more flexibility to spend your budget on exactly what YOU want with slightly more traditional elements. But this can apply to you and be intimate with you all of your friends and family. Your wedding is your day - invite who you want!
In our case: When you celebrate your nuptials and pledge your love to your partner with those that are closest to you.

Your built in sounding board, wedding resource & confidant.
ELOPEMENTS
Origin: The earliest sense of elope was “escape” or “flee,” and one might argue that this is somehow connected to the way people are now sometimes using it in the context of weddings. Except that this definition does not mean "escape" as in "let’s escape from it all," but rather "let’s grab the keys from the orderly and make a break for it!" The etymology of elope matches this sense, as the word comes from the Anglo-French aloper, meaning “to abduct, run away."
In our case: Elopements are when you and your partner run away to your favorite place to get forever hitched to your favorite person and do whatever pleases you on YOUR day.

I believe in capturing genuine connections, timeless details, and the little moments that make your story unique. My goal is to make your experience fun, stress-free, and unforgettable. My approach to photography is all about capturing heartfelt, one-of-a-kind stories by blending a documentary-style focus on raw, authentic moments with an artistic touch - creating timeless images that feel true to you. Whether it’s a stunning national park wedding in the Smokey Mountains, an intimate bridal session, or a fun downtown Greenville elopement, I strive to create a relaxed, comfortable experience where you can be yourself. My goal is to preserve every moment, no matter how small, so they’re never forgotten.
I am here to make your life a little easier, to preserve your every moment for the rest of eternity, to create art for your great grandchildren to be inspired by, and to document the love and connection that makes your story uniquely yours. This is your journey, so let’s go and have some fun with it! I created this space for you whenever you are ready to make the leap and I cannot wait to see all of the places we will go, and the stories that we will preserve.
Step into the Experience
Fig 3. Shelby & Rob had the coolest first look of all time out in Montana.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer Sydney is your girl! She was professional and communicative throughout the entire booking/planning process. On the day of our wedding she worked with our timeline and our venue's photography requirements to capture beautiful shots. My husband and I were blown away by her ability to capture the pure emotion of our wedding day! Sydney delivered our photos to us efficiently and provided simple ways for us to preserve our wedding memories forever! I cannot say enough good things about our experience!

B. Introductions
I’ll email you back with all of the goods, tips, pricing, and ideas to make your dream come true.

C. Make it Official
Once we’ve gone over your collection (and have become new besties), I’ll send over the contract and invoice to secure your date and make things officially official!
You’ve got questions? I’ve got answers.
Why do you require a non-refundable deposit?
The nonrefundable deposit is for you to know that I will not book anyone over you, and that time slot is 100% yours.
Where should I get prints of the final images?
I have a print shop connected to your gallery link and highly recommend that you go through my shop for your prints. If you go through Walgreens or Walmart, I cannot guarantee the quality and color correction as I can through my printer.
How important is a timeline to my wedding day?
A timeline is one of the most important part of a wedding day, even if it just says what time you’re getting married and when dinner is served. Timelines are great to have so that everyone involved knows what’s happening and where. If you need any help with your timeline, or just someone to bounce ideas off of, let me know! I’d be happy to help!
Do you require us to have a wedding coordinator?
I don’t require you to have a coordinator, but I do highly suggest them! At least having a day-of coordinator allows you to be relaxed and leave all of the set up and any pop up issues to someone else on your biggest day.
Do you charge travel fees?
Travel fees are vital for me if we are planning on heading somewhere out of the 45 mile radius from my home base of Clemson, SC. These fees cover my travel, potential lodging and car rentals.
While I try to keep my travel costs as low as possible, the package price may end up being a bit higher so I can get out to you. Travel fees depend on when and where you are getting married, as prices typically fluctuate based on those factors. These fees are based on the average travel costs at the time of booking. A few examples of things included in travel costs are flights, lodging, rental car, etc. One more variable that is covered by travel fees for weddings that are further away is my time. By this, I mean my time away from home and family. This also represents the time on my schedule that is being reserved for your special day and not for a different wedding that may be more local. Unfortunately, if I did not charge travel fees, it would not be sustainable for me to travel around. I am so grateful that you are interested in having me travel to you, so I hope this clears up any questions you have. As always if you have further questions, I am an open book!
