ABOUT tricia
Behind the Lens
I'm a hopeless romantic who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty wherever I go.
hello sweet friend!
I'm tricia
I was in your shoes just a few years ago. My husband Zack and I were planning our own wedding and while we didn’t know much back then, we did outline a few priorities for our dream day.
We knew we wanted to seek out adventure. We wanted to include our families. If possible, get married somewhere meaningful to us. And above all, we wanted to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience for both ourselves and and our loved ones, with pets included of course!
In the end, our wedding day became a wedding weekend and our families traveled from all over to join us for an intimate getaway. We chose a location in the mountains of Red River Gorge — a place that we had visited, hiked and camped at for years.
It couldn't have been more perfect.
Hopeless romantic, lover of light, travel, and the soft, glowing colors brought to life on film.
We shared our favorite pizza and burger spots, showed everyone the most accessible trails & supported local vendors. Zack and his friends zip lined into the ceremony Yes, zip lined!! Keep scrolling for a photo! We had cookouts, tailgate games and topped off the trip with s’mores by the bonfire.
I still get teary eyed looking back on it. We were surrounded by love, amazing views, and the whole experience just felt true to us and who we are as a couple. It couldn’t have been a better weekend to celebrate.
As your photographer, I’ll be cheering you on as you celebrate in the ways that are meaningful to you — documenting each candid moment with passion, intention and lots and lots of love for the art we create together.
I look forward to hearing all about what you have planned for your wedding day.
I have a feeling it's going to be great :)
my favorite things:
01
adventuring
The list could go on and on with dreamy destinations, but my top three include Ireland, Yosemite National Park & Paris! We checked off Greece our list for our Honeymoon :)
02
guilty pleasure
On the drive home after every wedding, I treat myself to a M&M McFlurry and french fries. It's always a gamble hoping the ice cream machine is working!
03
HOBBIES
My favorite hobbies are spending time at the farm, finding a new hiking trail, hitting the gym and binging Netflix specials on the couch.
04
drinks
Depending on the time of day, it's either a hot mocha from a local coffee shop or a red glass of wine on my back porch.
05
human
My husband, Zack! He is my biggest supporter and my best friend. Sharing life with him is my favorite. He keeps us going and is always down for a new adventure.
06
