hey, i'm tracy!

I'm a photography nerd. I discovered this passion when I was in middle school, and I have been shooting and learning ever since. I was even lucky enough to geek out on the subject at university and earned my BFA in Photography. 

On wedding days, clients have described me as "personable, energetic, upbeat, funny, down to earth, thoughtful, enthusiastic, organized, professional and genuine." You can read more of what past clients have said below. Thanks so much!

"Tracy is an absolute treasure. We loved every minute working with her. She is professional, organized, hilarious, and just generally fun to be around. I was extremely nervous about the photos for our wedding because I don't generally like having my picture taken. Tracy put me completely at ease."     - Catherine + Max

"On the wedding day, she made us feel so at ease, and we were cracking up! Tracy and her team are incredibly detail oriented and genuinely do not want to miss a single thing. Their enthusiasm is so easy to get caught up in that you stop focusing on the small stuff and get lost in the moment. Their work is beautiful and they so clearly care about the couples they work with."     - Lauren + Matt

"Tracy was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. She was very calm and organized, and had a great method for efficiently working through the list of pictures, coordinating where people needed to be, and keeping everyone smiling! The mix of candid and posed photos was just what we wanted. The quality of and variety of shots was perfect. It was very evident throughout the process that Tracy truly loves what she does."     - Donna + Douglas

"Tracy was easily one of my favorite vendors to work with. She is an absolute pro at what she does, and has such a sweet personality that makes everything so smooth. On the big day, she had endless energy and the ability to seem like she was everywhere at once, capturing so many wonderful moments."     - Anu + Matt

"She is upbeat and friendly and very very skilled in her work. She scouted my venue ahead of time since she hadn't shot it before. She has a ton of energy (I don't know how she does it) and is on top of her game, keeping everyone wrangled and in a good mood. She's also hilarious and even our grumpiest participants were having a good time with her."     - Chelsea + Troy

"Not only is Tracy's photography stunning, she's SO fun! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every meeting with her because she's so happy & fun to be around. On the day-of, she was energetic and laughed & smiled along with the rest of us, encouraging of how great we looked and making sure we were happy. Tracy will go the extra mile to get some unbelievable shots but she does this in a hidden, fly-on-the-wall manner that never interrupts the ceremony or reception."     - Charlotte + Josh

"To top it off, Tracy is an awesome and caring person, she knew everyone's name in the bridal party, she knew the parents names and even the grandparents, without introduction. She truly cares about everyone enjoying themselves and getting the perfect pictures and she does not disappoint."     - Danielle + Derek

a little bit about me

the newlyweds' POV

I have over 18 years of experience and have photographed 400+ weddings!  I have seen everything. :)

My style. I like to think I have a superpower for making people comfortable in front of the camera (and that's probably because I don't like being photographed myself). 

I am very detail-oriented and a lot of preparation goes into every single event. In the lead-up to your wedding day, we'll thoroughly go over the timeline plus all of the moments, people, and details that are important to you. And, unless I've been to your venue numerous times, I will want to do a site visit (and hopefully you can come along too!).  

why me

I'm a mom to two boys, Howie + Stuart, who were born in quick succession during the pandemic (what else was there to do? :). They are adorable, delightful and wild, and watching their brotherly bond develop is one of the greatest gifts.

My hubs, Blake, and I have been together for over twenty years. Thank goodness we found one another while working as young twenty-somethings in the restaurant industry. :)

In addition to the kiddos, we also have three pups: Maddie, Giselle + Cora! It's a full house with dog fur everywhere (needless to say).

The hubs and I are originally from the DC area, but we moved to North Carolina in 2016 for a calmer and friendlier environment. The wooded, spacious and equestrian community we live in now is nothing like what we grew up in! We love that the dogs and kiddos have plenty of room for running and puddle jumping. :)

In addition to the above, I'm a big fan of bold color (the more, the better), game nights with friends, movies with the hubs, podcasts, travel, and crossword + jigsaw puzzles. I think I'm a bit of a nerd? :)

I hate anything that is forced or awkward. The goal is to make you and your guests feel as comfortable as possible. 

I love the moments. I want to capture the fun expressions, the exchanged glances, the laughter, and all of the dance floor craziness.

My team takes an unobtrusive approach so that you forget we are even there. We want you to be yourselves. That's how we capture the real moments.

Even when we are posing you, we want it to feel natural and painless. Again, nothing forced or awkward. Of course, we still take traditional, posed pictures but we want the majority of your wedding photos to be the ones that feel more natural and genuine.
