I picked up my first 35mm film camera in high school and immediately gravitated toward people. While everyone else was photographing landscapes and still life, I was drawn to expression; the way someone’s posture softens when they’re comfortable, the split-second glance that says everything without words.
That curiosity followed me through my Fine Arts degree and eventually into weddings. When I second-shot my first one in 2015, I knew I’d found the space where everything clicked. Art, emotion, movement, story; all unfolding in real time.
Nearly a decade later, that same curiosity still shapes the way I work. I pay attention. I notice the in-between. I care about how it feels just as much as how it looks.
Capturing the love between two people is what led me to wedding photography.
Human connection is what has kept me here.
hi, i'm Bri
In February 2024, on the rainiest day in Joshua Tree, my husband and I got married surrounded by 35 of our closest friends. It was imperfect in the best way; quiet, emotional, deeply us.
But it also taught me something I carry into every wedding I photograph.
Our photographer was talented, but there were moments that mattered to us that slipped by unnoticed. Not because they weren’t beautiful; but because no one had taken the time to truly understand what felt important.
That experience shifted everything for me.
Now, before I ever pick up my camera, I take the time to understand you; what matters, who matters, what you don’t want to miss. Because beautiful photos are important. But feeling seen is what makes them meaningful.
my own wedding experience changed how i approach weddings
We split our time between Wilmington, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee, with roots in Cincinnati, Ohio. Choosing just one place has never really been our style.
When I first met my husband, he told me he wanted to buy a bus and live in the woods in Oregon. I didn’t hesitate; I was in (still waiting on this to happen LOL).
We’ve always had a bit of a nomadic rhythm. It’s shaped the way I see the world and the way I photograph it. I’m comfortable in new places. I notice light quickly. I settle into environments with ease.
Whether you’re planning something coastal, tucked into the mountains, or across the ocean; I’m ready.

Where I Call Home
I grew up surrounded by photo albums.
Stacks of prints. Worn pages. Faded corners. Stories frozen in time.
Some of the only glimpses I have of my grandparents’ younger years live in those photographs. The way they looked at each other. The way they stood. The ordinary moments that became extraordinary simply because someone preserved them.
That’s never lost on me.
Your wedding photos aren’t just for now. They’re for the future versions of you; and for the people who will one day flip through your albums, trying to understand where they came from.
For you, and for the people who come after you

Speaking of my favorite things, meet Dana, my bestie and business partner! Together, we own The Roam, an education business for photographers looking to break into weddings. What started as a passion project has become a dream come true, helping other creatives build the careers they’ve always wanted.

I also co-host Ceremonials with my other bestie, Ezra; a podcast created for couples in the midst of wedding planning. Through honest conversations with trusted wedding vendors, we share insight and perspective to help couples plan a celebration that feels intentional and true to them.

Family means everything to me. Becoming an aunt to ten incredible little humans has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. Getting to show up for them — to love them and cheer them on — is something I never take lightly. As we dream about starting a family of our own one day, that perspective only deepens.
