My childhood was filled with California sunshine and endless coastal adventures. Growing up with sandy toes and salt in my hair, I naturally became a creative dreamer and eternal optimist—a girl with a big heart who always saw beauty in the little things. Today, I’m a proud mama to two wonderful daughters and Nana to the most adorable grandkids who light up my world.
Life led me to seek new horizons, and I traded the West Coast for the charm and slower pace of South Carolina. It’s here that I found new roots, a fresh start, and the love of my life—a true southern gentleman who shares in all of my adventures.
When I’m not behind the camera capturing life’s beautiful, fleeting moments, you’ll usually find me knee-deep in a DIY house project, cheering on my beloved San Francisco 49ers, working on growing my (ever-expanding) garden, raising our backyard hens, or planning our next vacation. I have a deep love for early morning light, take a little coffee with my creamer, and have a weakness for fresh flowers—seriously, they just make everything better.
Photography, for me, isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about telling stories, preserving emotion, and celebrating the small, meaningful moments that make life truly beautiful. Every session is an opportunity to connect, to create something heartfelt, and to freeze time just a little longer.
I’m so glad you’re here. I can’t wait to meet you and help capture your story in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and uniquely you.

We believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. We believe in images that are eager to be printed, placed in silver frames, and hung on walls for generations to come.
I'm Laura
I'm Rachel
I’m a passionate romantic and the one who sparked our photography journey — always chasing light where it bends and wraps beneath us. A travel enthusiast, lover of cleanly composed and beautifully lit film portraits, and always ready to celebrate with a Mojito. I serve as a personal stylist to our clients, a bit of a health nut, and someone perfectly misaligned in the best way — living life somewhere between reality and a Sleep Token song.
I began capturing weddings at just 14 years old, graduated high school, and launched into the adventure of small business ownership. Every day, I feel incredibly blessed to wake up and call this my career, driven by a holy force that pulls me toward telling stories through the lens — even when life feels like running forwards, a life like wires, trusting the rhythm and the moment.
In this work, we tangle endlessly with fleeting moments and real emotions, like lovers entwined, capturing the beauty found in every connection.
I’m a proud mom of two beautiful children. A few of my favorite things include fitness, coffee, fashion, florals, cheering on the San Francisco 49ers, and rooting for the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!).
And no matter where life takes me, I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in, chasing new adventures and laying beneath ancient canopies — a quiet reminder that some moments are timeless.

My photography journey began in 2017 as a creative outlet and quickly grew into a passion for capturing life’s most beautiful, fleeting moments. I started by diving into courses taught by talented instructors and soon began assisting and second shooting alongside incredible local photographers who helped shape my style and skillset.
I find the greatest joy in working with affectionate, joyful couples who radiate energy and love—it’s truly infectious and makes every shoot feel like magic.
On the personal side, I’m blessed to be married to my best friend, Jason—we’ve been sharing laughs and love for 14 wonderful years. We also share our lives with our two adorable maltipoos, Lola and Leo, who keep things playful and sweet. I’m a big fan of cozy coffee shop vibes (you’ll often find me sipping an iced caramel latte), and I can’t resist Italian or Mexican food—especially when it comes with a Diet Coke on the side. Friends know me for my bubbly spirit and sense of humor, and I always aim to bring light, laughter, and warmth into every interaction.

Our photography is iconic, timeless, full of beautiful light and natural emotion; strongly influenced by fashion. We genuinely love how we're able to connect with couples who have the same approach to love and values that we have. Our couples are inspired by coastal surroundings, are classic with a modern twist, and want to throw a wedding that feels like

We’re Laura and Rachel—a dream team with complementary talents. Laura brings the words and the warmth; Rachel adds the eye and the edge. Together, we create, polish, and deliver with heart and style.
not always like mother, like daughter
Can you guess who's who? Laura captures the big picture, encompasses wide open landscapes, and romantic portraits. With precision, Rachel captures the fine details, from invitation flat lays, to those unspoken moments.
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Digital is a moment you capture, fine art film is an image you feel. We approach weddings with a distinct editorial approach, yet with different devices, and deliver diverse images with consistency. Laura captures digital images, Rachel seizes moments in film.
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Being destination wedding photographers, we're on the road a lot. From either simple out of state road trips, to rental car adventures throughout the world, you'll find Laura behind the wheel, and Rachel giving directions. Why not just Google Maps you ask? Because Laura will always miss crucial exits without a co-pilot!
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Maybe it's a generational thing, but can you guess this one? Laura loves to make a good home cooked meal, but Rachel, wants to try every restaurant at least once!
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
On the rocks vs. a salted rim? Laura is aged to perfection like Bourbon, as Rachel prefers the health benefits of tequila because it is a metabolism booster! >_<
NOT ALWAYS LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
We started our fitness journey in 2022 and have lost over 140 pounds together! Rachel is definitely the motivator, but Laura is always up for an upper-body challenge.
