We capture heartfelt moments

with classic & artistic style.


Your wedding day is fast-paced, emotional, and deeply personal. Our approach blends guided editorial portraits with unobtrusive documentary coverage, so you can be fully present while we capture images that feel elevated, intentional, and true to you.


We step in when direction is helpful, and step back when moments unfold naturally. The result is a gallery that feels cohesive, calm, and honest, never stiff or over-produced.

We’re a husband-and-wife photography duo based just outside of Asheville, NC, capturing love stories near and far. High school sweethearts since 2013, our journey together has shaped the way we see and document the world with warmth, authenticity, and style.


When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll find us hiking mountain trails, tending to our garden, cooking up something delicious, or playing with our pup, Josie.

“Coy was an amazing wedding photographer! He was so kind and pleasant to work with - even our wedding party and guests were saying how great he was! He shot beautiful bridal portraits and wedding photos! He got amazing photos without distraction from the moment - everything felt so natural and we felt so comfortable with him. Our pictures came out stunning!”

Coy & Madeline were incredible to work with! They helped us with prioritizing what types of pictures we would like to see. Day of, they were fantastic at keeping us relaxed and keeping the day running smoothly. When we got our sneak peek, we were blown away. They captured our day so perfectly! I can't believe there are more pictures to come.
