Just sent over Emily and Austin’s full wedding gallery so it only feels fitting to share more of my favorite imagery from the day in Elbow Cay. Documented on multiple mediums, I loved seeing the film photos come to life, especially in the double exposures.

I am drawn to destination weddings where every detail feels considered, from paper goods that set the tone from the start, a color palette that carries seamlessly from invitation to table, textures that photograph as intentionally as they’re chosen. For the Jones wedding day: it was silver accents, colorful hues and candlelight against the softness of the coast—nothing excessive, everything perfectly aligned.

As an artist my work leans into that balance of editorial, design-forward, and authentic.

Now booking destination weddings for 2027.

Reminiscing on Shona and Andy’s effortlessly elegant weekend layered with texture, movement, and beautiful florals intentionally placed throughout the grounds.

From vows in the garden to a dance floor that didn’t slow down every detail during their weekend felt timeless, intimate, and deeply personal. Their wedding day focused on their love and the guest experience, which was exceptional from start to finish.

Turner & Aleah’s day was meaningful from start to finish. With details layered in emerald, ivory, plum, and pops of silver - the candlelit staircases, monogrammed details, heirloom china, and their custom invitation suite set the tone from the start.

The most meaningful detail of all? Both of Aleahs wedding gowns were handmade by her mother, a true legacy woven into every stitch. I was honored to be able to document each stage of her wearing it, from her bridal portraits to her wedding day.

One of the most memorable parts of the day was when I was starting their detail images, setting up all of her invitations

2027 couples dreaming of intentional design and emotive imagery, let’s create something iconic together.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones | Elbow Cay, Abaco, Bahamas

It’s hard to put into words how much joy and love went into this beautiful week of celebrations on the coast of the Bahamas. With over 40 friends and family traveling f from the US to celebrate them, Emily Anne and Austin were such gracious hosts. I was so honored to document their wedding season, and especially this day. From a creative standpoint, these two let me have complete control over my artistic vision and were both so easy going, which you can see through their portraits.

From their beautiful slow morning getting ready with friends, I spent a great deal of time focusing on the beautiful custom details and stationary from and anticipating their first looks. With the sun bright and shining all day, the lighting was so perfect and I loved fusing together both direct sunlight and the dreamiest sunset. I only take a few international weddings each year so that I can truly focus my energy on my couples and their vision during the time we are there and needless to say, this was certainly the best way to kick start my 2026 season. Many of these photos were shot on 120 and 35mm film and I was so happy I could combine so many different artistic elements into the day. This barely scratches the surface of it all, so Cheers to the Joneses

Kicking off my 2026 wedding season and knew it was the perfect time to share a few of my film + digital images from one of my favorite bridal shoots that feels deeply timeless and intentional. As 2026 approaches I am so thrilled to be working alongside this planners and couples that join me in celebrating a shared love for fashion, jewelry, and thoughtful design in the wedding space.
