THE STORY BEHIND ROXDUKE PHOTOGRAPHY-
My path to photography wasn’t traditional, but it was intentional.
Originally, I pursued a degree in elementary education, but during the pandemic I began to realize my heart was being pulled in a different direction. Around that same time, I had been introduced to the world of weddings and photographed my first one in December of 2020. I immediately fell in love with the energy, the emotion, and the privilege of documenting such meaningful moments.
In summer 2022, I went all in.
In summer 2022, I took the leap into full time.
Not long after, I made the decision to leave college and pursue photography wholeheartedly. What began in Mobile, Alabama capturing celebrations and milestones soon grew into something far greater than I ever imagined. In the summer of 2022, I took the leap into photography full time, trusting the Lord to guide the path ahead. Since then, He has continued to open doors and place incredible people in front of my camera.
Today I am based in Birmingham, Alabama, documenting weddings with a documentary approach that focuses on genuine connection, authentic emotion, and the quiet moments that make a day truly unforgettable. I believe photography should do more than show you what your day looked like. It should bring you back to how it felt.

I have a sweet 10 year old kitty who is the love of my life. She's named after Sherlock Holmes' John Watson (the RDJ version). Ninety percent of the time you can find me and Watson, snuggling on the couch laughing at either Modern Family, New Girl, or Parks & Rec, with a glass of wine.
I started collecting vinyl records way back in middle school. It was an activity my Dad and I bonded over growing up. Over the years my collection has expanded and grown. I have over 200 albums. My all time favorite record would be my Buckingham Nicks album!
Do you ever wish you could go back in time and live in a certain time period? For me, that's the 80's. I have a whole shelf of my 80's films, and albums on vinyl. If it was up to me I'd live every day as an 80's teen but sadly, John Huges did not direct my life.
Harry Potter is my past present & future. I'm an annual pass holder at Universal Orlando and jump at every opportunity to go. Growing up as an only child, I turned to books and movies for company. I love the way a good book can transport you into a different world. If a movie is that good, I'll go see it in theaters more than once for different reasons, sometimes I'll focus on the score, the next time costumes & settings, you get the idea.
