Documentary Wedding Photographer

Serving Nashville, Tennessee & Beyond

Original,

Intentional,

& True to you

Hi, I'm Stokes

It's been five years since I photographed my first wedding, and I'm still a big fan of the little things. Inspired by nature and fine art, I've always been drawn to the details that complete the picture and add feeling.

Capturing kismet with intention

If you're reading this, maybe you also believe in magic of unstaged moments and the beauty found in-between seconds. 

My goal is to take photographs with presence, and in doing so, encourage you to stay in your moment. I hope to  preserve memories for those in love with breathing deeply

 and the thrilling feeling of being alive.

Remember the Kodak Funsaver? It's funny how accurately that little plastic camera was named. Over the years, technology has gotten smarter and so much faster. One thing we can't just skip (in art and in life) is the time it takes to produce quality work, and in turn, to build a full life. This is in honor of all those clicks and all your moments that led you to right here. 

If you're reading this, maybe you also believe in magic of unstaged moments and the beauty found in-between seconds. 

My goal is to take photographs with presence. I hope to chase moments and preserved memories for those in love with breathing deeply and simply feeling alive.
