Purposeful Photos
about
- Communication is huge for me, so expect timely responses!
- While I focus on capturing the candid and authentic moments that play out throughout your wedding day, I will provide seamless posing guidance when needed.
- Meticulous attention to detail – from fixing stray hairs to bringing along an emergency wedding day kit, I'm here for everything you need.
- Sneak peaks within 72 hours and a completed gallery in 10-12 weeks.
- And most importantly, you're not just getting a photographer but a new friend! I understand the significance of this season of life and the nerves it may bring, so my goal is to make you feel comfortable beyond just the day of your wedding and capture your authentic self beautifully!
I've been photographing for fun since 2014 and it wasn't until the end of 2023 that the Lord gave me a push to take it more seriously. I feel as though the Lord has placed it on my heart to use my artistic abilities to serve Him & His people. I hope I can inspire & bring encouragement with boldness in faith & life to all those around me. I want those whom I photograph to know they are here, no matter where they are at in life, for a purpose. God loves you, & I want the photos we capture together to make you FEEL loved, a love that comes from God Himself!
My mission is to create a meaningful elopement or wedding experience, one that captures the essence of your unique love story through authentic and emotive imagery. My style is a mix of promted and candid moments, resulting in stunning, timeless photos that tell a beautiful story. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me at church, doing DIY projects, reading, spending time with my husband Corey and our three fur babies.

Purposeful Photos redefines wedding photography by focusing on authentic moments over staged shots. My approach transcends traditional photography; I aim to encapsulate the essence of love and commitment in every frame. I believe that elopements and intimate weddings deserve more than a checklist of poses—they deserve to be cherished as a timeless narrative of love.
My philosophy is simple yet profound: I don't just capture weddings, I document heartfelt connections, genuine emotions, and a sacred commitment. I strive to create an experience that feels like a cherished memory rather than a scripted event. By immersing myself in the beauty of each of my couple's stories, I capture raw emotions, tender glances, and fleeting smiles that define the true essence of their unity.
Marriage is a sacred journey, and my photography honors this by preserving moments that resonate beyond the wedding day. There is something so profound to witness and document the love two souls share and I think it's a beautiful example of Christ's love for us! I am dedicated to providing a personalized, intimate experience where my clients feel seen, understood, and celebrated. I want Purposeful Photos to continue to be elevated in craft, ensuring that every couple receives a collection of images that not only reflects their love but also encapsulate the profound significance of their union. It is truly an honor to be considered to capture such an important moment of your lives!
