For garden & outdoor couples · Greenville, NC

Your wedding, the way it felt — not the way it was posed.

That second the sky turns gold and you finally lock eyes — that’s the photo you’ll keep forever. I’m Tobias Muse, and I photograph garden and outdoor weddings, growing families, and professionals across Eastern North Carolina with a calm presence and zero stiff posing.

“We’re getting married outside — and we want it to feel like us.”

Gardens, farms, backyards, golden hour. You want a photographer who stays calm, disappears when it matters, and catches the real looks — not a production.

Weddings from $300/hr

Family, graduation and maternity sessions that feel like your family on a good day — relaxed, playful, and nothing like the photoshoot everyone dreads.

“Time has a way of moving fast — one season rolls into the next, kids grow overnight, and ‘someday’ moments turn into memories before you realize it. That’s why I focus on photographing the real stuff as it happens.”
