Photography captured my attention at a young age and never let go. Over 300 weddings later, I still show up to every single one with the same energy I had at the very beginning, because that's what this work deserves.
I'm based in Charlotte with my husband Jon and our baby boy River, and I genuinely cannot imagine doing anything else. Some people stumble into their calling, but I ran straight at mine and never looked back.
I was thirteen when I got my first camera, a little digital point-and-shoot, and I was instantly hooked. I’d spend hours at the library flipping through photography books and entire summers shooting rolls of film on my dad’s old 35mm Canon. By my 15th birthday, I was asking my parents for a DSLR because I knew I wanted to take photography more seriously.
At 16, I photographed my first wedding and was completely hooked. What started as an after-school side gig quickly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined. In 2011, I officially dropped out of college to pursue photography full-time and photographed ten weddings that year. By 2014, I was shooting 30 weddings annually.
where it all started
the early days (2010)
I've always been the sentimental type. The person who holds onto old photos, ticket stubs, and handwritten notes because memories mean everything to me. So it makes sense that I ended up here.
It's not lost on me that the photos I take will outlive the bouquet and the cake and maybe even your memory of the day itself. These are the images you'll frame, flip through on anniversaries, and pass down to future generations. That's not something I take lightly.
I'm originally from Miami but in 2020 my husband Jon and I packed up and moved to Charlotte. Now we're figuring out life as new parents to our son, River, and I cannot think of a better place to be doing it.
Why It Still Matters

I had told her we wanted more 'candid' style photos throughout the day and she completely blew us away with the photos she captured. I am extremely picky with photos and there was not a single one I disliked. She truly cares about capturing every little detail and emotion throughout the day and it shows. If I could give Beca a million stars, I would with zero hesitation.
She truly cares.

We had never had any professional photos taken before and were nervous about being/looking awkward. Beca immediately puts you at ease and makes everyone comfortable in front of a camera! Her attention to detail and eye for capturing the emotion in special moments is unmatched.
Makes everyone comfortable.

let's chat
I started this business because I believe every couple deserves a photographer who shows up fully invested in their day. Not just technically, but emotionally. Someone who gets it.
If that sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
