• Welcome!

    Luster Studios is my personal portfolio where I share weddings, special events, engagement sessions and portraits. My origins stem from a fine arts degree in photography and computer graphics. My "style" is a perfect blend of creative ideas driven by a relaxed attitude and a fun yet thoughtful personality.

    Through a combination of posing and photojournalism I strive to capture planned and spontaneous moments that will later help you relive how you were feeling at that exact moment. I'm based in North Carolina and often travel to destination locations. I look forward to getting to know what inspires you both creatively and personally.

Wakefield Plantation Weddings – TPC Golf Community

If you’re planning your wedding in the Raleigh or Wake Forest area the TPC Wakefield Plantation is an excellent wedding venue to consider. As a wedding photographer I always enjoy lush green landscapes to pose my bride and groom on. The Wakefield Plantation is a full service private Country Club that sits on over two hundred acres. The clubhouse itself overlooks the 18th hole and includes a Terrace Patio for your guest to relax on. The beautiful Williamsburg Ballroom can hold up to 200 guests and there is a separate dining area that can also be converted or joined together to accommodate larger events.
