Photography Style

At Asheville Elevated Photography, I approach each wedding with an eye for timeless beauty and genuine connection. My style blends an editorial feel with natural storytelling — so your gallery is filled with images that are both artful and deeply personal.

Whether you’re exchanging vows on a misty mountain overlook, celebrating under the canopy of an old oak, or gathering loved ones in a charming Asheville venue, I’m there to capture it all — from the big moments to the small ones that often mean the most.

Your Experience

Long before the day arrives, I take the time to get to know you and your story. With thoughtful planning, a complimentary engagement session, and plenty of communication, you can feel completely at ease in front of the camera — and fully present with each other.

On your wedding day, I’m more than your photographer — I’m a calm presence and a trusted guide, helping you slow down and soak in every moment. I’ll gently direct portraits when needed, but I’ll never force a moment to feel posed or stiff. The laughter, the tears, the in-between glances — they’re all part of what makes your day yours.

When you look back at your images, I want you to feel it all — just as real and vivid as it was that day.
