Nice to Meet You

I'm obsessed with fried pickles, I pet every dog I meet, and I give finger guns way more than anyone should. As a wedding and elopement photographer, I actually dislike the wedding industry and the crazy expectations it puts on people... but I live to capture relationships and the honesty of incredible couples who aren't afraid to let love lead their day.

I am currently booking for 2019! I take a very limited number of weddings each year to ensure my couples get the attention they need and an experience they can enjoy. If you're interested in booking and seeing my pricing guide, let's get in touch!

Thinking back to this beautiful day...
@beedaleeda being casually fabulous in her parents’ barn. ❤️
Success meant something very different to me 5 years ago when I officially registered my business. I was gonna shoot 40+ weddings a year and make a ton of money. I was gonna be that wedding photographer that traveled to a new country every month, taking photos of hip couples in vintage lace and felt hats on top of a snow capped mountain or in front of a waterfall in Iceland. Trust me, those photos are still hella fun, and I admire those that do them, but over time my idea of success changed. Why? ▪️ Those adventurous photographers I follow? They ended up in the ER due to stress and no time to rest. The photographers I know who shoot 10-20 more weddings than my load? Started losing their hair, experienced regular panic attacks, never saw their family. ▪️ How the hell is that successful to anyone? ▪️ My new goal for next year: -Document down to earth couples who care about celebrating with their friends. Focus on the people and emotion, not the hipness of the location. -Document less weddings, only 15, so I can spend some weekends with my own loved ones, and equally important, spend time truly getting to know all my couples. -Don’t book weddings every weekend in October, spend one weekend soaking in Fall. -Make sure my relationship with my businesses are healthy and rewarding. ▪️ I don’t get featured on adventure blogs, and I may not make that much money, but I sure do love this job, and look forward to loving it even more as the years go on. ▪️ Don’t compare yourself to others on Instagram. The most adventurous, hardworking people face your challenges, even if they don’t post about it. You decide what success is to you. That’s what’s important. ❤️ ▪️ Shoutout to @tylerhelfrich And her amazing paintings behind me in this photo, and for @juliafayphoto For taking this photo.
There’s nothing better than documenting couples and their people when they have hearts of gold. I had such an amazing time with these two Saturday, and I think @thevineyardsatbettyscreek might be my new favorite Asheville venue 😍
Captions can be the worst, whether you realize you suddenly need to post because you haven’t in forever, or if you’re trying to be proactive and plan out your social calendar a month ahead of time. Tina clearly feels ya. What the heck do you say? People don’t want to hear you talk about what you’re selling time after time, they also want to know what you’re about and what you value, and how they can relate to. . SO, I figured if do a little something for all the awesome folks who sign up for a Ellis Stock Co. membership before the big fancy launch December 15th! If you sign up now, you’ll automatically get a free caption guide, offering copy and paste wording and fun prompts. . 20 captions are included, and quite a few go perfectly with the images on the site! That’s 20 stress-free, easy Instagram posts that engage your followers and show them more about you. Link is in my profile, as usual!
Life is not what social media puts out. But what’s wrong with being real? That’s why I made the Messy Desk collection on Ellis Stock Co, and it’s quickly become my favorite. It’s also exactly what my desk has looked like for two months. Unhealthy food, leftover tea and coffee cups, and a little booze to ease the long work days. My season will be slowing down in a few weeks, and I’m ready to get back to a normal routine and concentrate more on stock! Until then, if anyone feels alone on the struggle bus, don’t let Instagram fool you. We are all with ya. ❤️
