Hey, I’m Mandy — a Chattanooga-based wedding and elopement photographer who specializes in capturing genuine connection, natural beauty, and adventure.

My journey with photography started back in high school, photographing friends just for fun. That creative spark stuck with me, and over time it grew into a career that combines two of my favorite things: telling stories through images and spending time in wild, beautiful places.

Before I was a photographer full-time, I worked as a whitewater river guide — and that’s actually how I met my husband. Together, we’ve explored everywhere from the depths of the Grand Canyon to Guatemala and beyond. Those experiences shaped how I see the world and what matters most. To me, the best stories are about connection, shared adventure, and choosing a path that feels true to you.

Whether you're planning an adventurous mountaintop elopement or a laid-back celebration at one of Chattanoga's beautiful venues, I'm here to help make it happen — from planning and location scouting to creating photos that reflect who you are.

Let's capture what matters most in a way that feels true to you!
