I am so excited you are here! I am a wedding photographer who has spent the last several years capturing celebrations across North Carolina and around the world.
I grew up in the world of the sciences where my time was spent crafting the latest chemistry experiment. My photography journey started later in life as fate from my own wedding led me to bring intentional experiences to couples in North Carolina and beyond.
I have had the honor and privilege of being invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

your wedding photographer
a foundation of organic imagery, intentional individuality, & epic moments
the inspiration
My style is rooted in three basic foundational elements; Organic imagery, intentional individuality, and epic moments.
Organic imagery is more than a backdrop. It provides an unmatched tone and timelessness as the keystone within your wedding photos. It is the guiding inspiration for how I compose & edit photographs that serve you, as you move through your wedding day. I believe encompassing natural elements are both grounding and transformative as it serves as its own character within your story. It provides the perfect recipe for images that are sure to stand the test of time and never go out of style.
Intentional individuality ensures your distinct story as a couple is shared without a cookie-cutter experience. You deserve a wedding experience that feels like you. You deserve wedding photos that look and feel like you through a guided artistic approach.
Epic moments embody the beauty of life itself. It links not only the present, but honors those who have provided and sacrificed before us, while forging a new path in your family tree. When I shoot a wedding, the moments I look forward to the most are the slow cherished times with loved ones, smiles from across the room, and uncontrollable candid laughter that highlight epic loving moments.
A Look into my
Life
1 / 3
My entire being centers around my children aka my two sweet yorkies.
Baya Jo is is the Queen B of the family, cannot get enough of being outside in the sun, and is the best lap companion.
Kynser Jo is a feisty Tri-Pawd that loves to run the beaches of Wilmington and is a secret lover of belly rubs.
They travel with us no matter where we go and are the inspirations behind "Jo" within JoLynn.

I began CrossFit in 2018 and I love every second of it. The community of friends I have gained has been more valuable than the weight I have been able to move. But for the record, I can deadlift 300 lbs :)

"Coby was one of the most organized, prepared, and professional vendors we worked with on our wedding day. She walked my husband and I through every shoot - what to expect and how to prepare. Not only did she provide high-quality and professional work, she is also a wonderful person to spend time with! She felt more like a friend than our photographer!”
