A Wedding & Elopement Photographer

Thanks so much for taking the time to be here!

I’m a digital and film wedding photographer specializing in true to life, documentary and fine art photography. I am from New Kent, VA, but moved to Richmond in 2018 to pursue a degree at VCU. Prior to moving to Richmond, I first picked up a camera when I was about 12 when my grandma graciously gave me a polaroid camera. In 2021 I graduated with a theatre degree, but during college, photography continued to pull at my heart strings so much I decided I wanted to continue to pursue photography. I worked full time for almost a year until I started teaching darkroom photography where I grew up at New Kent High School. After a year of non stop growth and chaos, I decided to go back to shooting photography full time again before locking myself into an eduction bubble. So, that leaves me where I am today, pursuing my dreams capturing peoples most precious memories. My grandma instilled the importance of capturing moments we don’t want to forget at an early age once I lost her. She allowed me to photograph her soon before she passed and I cherish those photos more than anything. The joy I receive from telling other people's stories fuels my soul and has brought me where I am today. I am so grateful. 

Your wedding day is not merely a date on a calendar; it's an opportunity to create an experience surpassing cookie-cutter expectations. I advocate for your unique vision, rejecting the cheesy and predictable in favor of capturing your real, authentic love without excessive directing or posing.

The effort invested in making a wedding day unforgettable, not just for you but also for your loved ones, is beautiful and meant to be enjoyed. I encourage you to get lost in the moment, assuring you that the details won't be overshadowed. For your wedding, I believe in surrounding you with individuals who genuinely love and understand you, going the extra mile even when you may not realize you need it. I cant wait to work with you to bring your vision to life. You can enter your wedding day with confidence, knowing you have a trusted friend caring for every moment as if it were my own. Let's create art and tell your story together!

"Destiny did our engagement and wedding photos and I cannot speak highly enough of her! She was on top of everything, seemed to be everywhere at once, and knew exactly what to do to make everything look just phenomenal. We only have previews from the wedding, but the photos are Stunning! If you’re debating, don’t. Just hire her. You won’t regret it."
