documentary photography
rooted in truth
for weddings, elopements, and family photography
When you think back to the most fleeting seasons of your life, you deserve to remember those days as they actually happened. My work resonates with couples who value connection and presence. The people who find themselves in front of my camera recognize the importance of slowing down and appreciate the small things in life.

All of these moments, and more, are what life is really about.
documentary Photography Means:
Those fleeting glimmers you wish you could save in a bottle to drink up when you need it most are saved to pass down for generations to come. That’s what I’m here to give you…images that portray what a memory feels like.
Do you want your wedding to feel like your wedding day
and not a neverending photoshoot?
I’m here to show you that when we let go of the forced smiles, the mile long shot lists and the pinterest boards of trends that don’t align, something special starts to happen. You begin to become yourselves. Fully present and connected. And holy moly.. how beautiful you are.
Together we’ll take your wedding day vision and tell the story of you and your day, honestly and artfully. Because there is beauty around every corner when we allow ourselves to slow down and see it.
P.S.
Yes, I will tell you
what to do with your hands if
you need it, Ricky Bobby.

A bit about Aja
After moving to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
I began to feel at home. Finding beauty and comfort in the stillness and everyday moments I had once taken for granted. A feeling of peace I had never known. Pairing this newfound peace, the intention + stillness I start every day with, and a bit of a nostalgic feel from my childhood, my documentary style of photography was born.
Xoxo, Aja
