optimistic • empathetic • creative
Hey there! I'm 28, and I was born and raised in a small town in Northern Illinois. My family and I recently moved to Tennessee just outside Chattanooga. In May 2016 I married my high school sweetheart Spencer. We have two beautiful girls together - Ella & Olivia. They are my everything.
​
I'm a cup half-full kinda girl. Even through difficult circumstances I try to look at the positives and not take life too seriously. I'm very detail-oriented and somewhat of a perfectionist to a fault.
I love finding excuses to spend time outside. Whether it's hiking and exploring new places or cultivating my garden, I've always been drawn to nature. As an avid coffee enthusiast, I am always looking for new coffee shops to try. Thrifting is one of my guilty pleasures - for me it's like going on a treasure hunt. I love any outlet where I can be creative - crafts, home projects, rehabbing furniture, and just creating a beautiful home.
how it all started -
Growing up I always had a camera in my hands (I know it's cliché). Whether it was taking photos of nature or making short films and documentaries with my friends, I always jumped at the opportunity to use my camera.
​
It wasn't until after college that I realized I could turn my passion into a career. I majored in Business and I've always been independent, so naturally I was drawn to starting my own business. In 2019 I launched my business. I started out with just a photo booth, but eventually I expanded my services into wedding films.
Being a hopeless romantic, I absolutely fell in love with the wedding industry. There's just something about being with couples on one of the best days of their lives. With how much time, money, and work that goes into planning the perfect day, I love being able to help couples preserve every moment.
romanticize
your love
story
I believe in romanticizing life. It's all about appreciating the beauty and magic of everyday moments and viewing our experiences with a sense of wonder and gratitude. The key is seeing the world through a lens of positivity and creativity. Doing so can greatly improve our quality of life by fostering a deeper connection to our surroundings. Ultimately, romanticizing life helps to cultivate joy and meaning in the mundane, making each day feel more special and fulfilling.
I think the same can be said for your wedding day and your love story as a whole. It's easy to get caught up in all the prep-work and scheduled events that you can lose sight of what the day is all about. It's your day. It's about you and your love. The most important thing is that you make a conscious effort to be mentally present and enjoy each other. Let me worry about everything else. I will capture all the details, personal touches, and candid moments that make your love story yours.
I love being able to capture a piece of time. Film preserves a moment in it's purest form. Time is so precious and moments pass so quickly, especially the ones you want to hold onto the most. A wedding film will keep those memories and let you relive them all over again.

&
As a boutique filmmaker, I limit the amount of weddings I commit to in a year to ensure that I can devote ample attention and energy to every film, ensuring it receives the dedication it deserves. I pour my heart into every film to create a piece of art that reflects your story and love.
"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken."
ECCLESIASTES 4:12
"A CORD OF THREE STRANDS IS NOT EASILY BROKEN"
MEANING
BEHIND THE NAME -
You may have seen the cord ceremony performed at weddings before. This is where the bride and groom braid the three cords together. It's very symbolic and demonstrates the two becoming one and how their lives are being woven together.
​
Sometimes it's done in non-religious wedding ceremonies, but in the Christian context it has an even deeper meaning. It comes from the Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 which is a verse that talks about how there is strength in numbers. The verse says that one may be overpowered, two can withstand him, but a cord of three strands is not easily broken. When applied to marriage it's saying that two are better than one, but if you include God in your marriage it will be even stronger.
​
My faith in Christ is really important to me and it effects every aspect of my life. It's about loving and serving others. Ecclesiastes 4:12 really resonates with me because I have seen the impact that it makes in the marriages around me including my own. It's a part of my identity and that's why I chose the name Three Cord Studio.
