everlasting

memories

From authentic
moments to

Though my home is in Texas, travel is what truly feeds my soul. I spend most of my time planning trips around the world to experience cities, food, history, and culture. These experiences serve as the foundation for the evolution of my art. Through my travels, I have learned to layer light, shadow and texture with candid emotion to create photos that are rich, dimensional, and timeless.

My goal is to document your wedding with the theme of balance—calm yet excited; tonal yet textured; curated yet candid. With genuine care for my clients, and a passion for storytelling, I will take your authentic moments and turn them into everlasting memories.

lacey,

You can think of my photos as where documentary and editorial photography meet: I am capturing your candid moments with a clear sense of purpose. I will help guide you into elegant poses, and I will take a step back and let the day unfold. With this technique, you will receive both stunning portraiture that makes you feel your most beautiful, and a gallery that actually speaks to your personality, telling the story of your day with effortless intention.

After photographing over 200 weddings, I know that what makes an experience truly luxury is to ability to do it your way. Take your time with your favorite people in a place that makes you feel like you. Though I am based in Texas, I will follow you anywhere in the world to photograph your wedding or elopement.

Lacey is truly
one of a kind. 







Lacey is truly one of a kind. 







She photographed our engagements, my bridal and boudoir sessions, and our wedding, and every single experience with her was effortless, comfortable, and so much fun. She is just great vibes all around: organized and professional, yet easygoing and down to earth. It always feels like spending the day with a friend who happens to be insanely talented behind the camera. Leading up to & our wedding day she was incredibly thorough, making sure we got every photo we wanted (and so many we didn’t even know we’d want. Hi sunset photos!!!). She manages to capture every emotion, every laugh, and every moment in between with such beauty, all while keeping things running smoothly. I felt so comfortable around her the entire time which makes such a difference in how natural and emotional our photos turn out. I honestly wish we could use her for every big moment in our lives. She’s not only an amazing photographer but an even better person, and we’re so grateful to have had her capture such meaningful memories for us. 

10/10 always,
I could not recommend her more highly to capture your love story.
