Meet the Photographer

Well, hello there

I'm Dominique, but my friends call me Dom.

Seventeen years behind the lens

Less seating charts.
More goosebumps.

— ❧ —

After 17 years behind the lens and a decade photographing traditional weddings, I realized something big: I craved more magic, more meaning, and way less fluff. I wanted to capture the real stuff — not seating charts and timelines, but the goosebumps, the belly laughs, the "just us" kind of love.

That's what led me here — falling head over heels for destination elopements, and for the beautifully untamed love of family sessions. Whether it's two people saying "I do" on a windswept cliffside or a family chasing each other through the backyard, I'm chasing the same thing: real, unscripted, story-filled love.

Now, I spend my days...

Chasing fairytale
locations

Guiding couples to fairytale locations — think misty Scottish cliffs, winding streets in Positano, and secret gardens in the English countryside — capturing love stories in places that feel pulled from your dreams. And right here at home, I get to chase that same wonder through the wild, wiggly, unscripted moments of family life.

I'm based in North Carolina but I travel worldwide, especially to the UK and Europe, to help couples ditch the production and embrace an experience that actually feels like them. Whether it's a cliffside elopement or a family session on a favorite trail, if you're after something that looks and feels like a storybook, you're in the right place.

I'll bring the laughs, the location ideas, and the kind of storytelling images — for elopements and for families alike — that let you relive every moment again and again.

Meet my boys…

The loves of my
everyday life

My husband of 17 years, Caleb, and I met while making lattes together at Starbucks — we love traveling the world and experiencing new places and cultures together!

And then there are the two littlest loves of my life... my boys! We homeschool, so I get to be with my babies 24/7, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

We love to walk nature trails, go out for ice cream, and have outdoor movie nights in our backyard!
