I’ve always wondered what shooting a destination wedding would be like and now I don’t have to! Sam and Bri chose to get married in Outer Banks, North Carolina and they brought me down to photograph it! It’s always an honor to be the one to document a wedding in the first place, but having […]
One of my favorite things about weddings is seeing the beauty that can come from unexpected moments. Things don’t always go exactly according to plan, whether that’s the weather or a detail or even someone not being there that “should have been”. It’s the responses to those that typically become the things we most remember. […]
Getting to write this blog post for such a long awaited wedding celebration is simply, a joy. See, this wedding was supposed to happen back in December. But in the year of “supposed to’s” it was moved to the springtime. Which was such a beautiful representation of the joy that bloomed throughout the day! Taylor […]
This wedding celebration has been a longgg time coming! And my excitement to document it has just increased as the days have gone on! Thomas & Elise were originally scheduled to tie the knot last October, but when another spike of Covid arose, they decided to postpone until the spring. In that process, Elise took […]
I’m pretty sure I leapt for joy when Kate reached out to me at the end of this last summer to plan a brand photoshoot! For starters, she’s the most incredible artist and I had fallen in love with both her work as a clay maker and all the unique designs she creates for her […]
It’s always a good indicator of how fun the wedding day will be when we walk into the bridal suite and you can hear all the excitement from outside the front door! That’s one of the best ways to describe Luke & Rachael’s Newport, KY wedding at The Turn Vintage on Sunday. It was filled […]
What a way to kick off 2021! Derek & Emily’s wedding at Hotel Covington on the second day of the year was such a joy to both celebrate and document! These two had waited a long time for their wedding day and with the year that 2020 was, it was almost a miracle that it […]
One of the hardest parts of planning any kind of photoshoot is tackling the age old question: “what do I wear?”. Even more so, when you’re planning a session for your brand, it can be difficult to envision what outfits you actually want to wear that look great on you AND channel the aesthetic of […]
This wedding day was thirteen years in the making! Brandon and Kalyn’s relationship began in middle school and on Saturday, the 17th, they officially became husband and wife! It was most special celebration of their families, their relationship and all those that helped them get to this point! When Kalyn and I sat down over […]
The moment I saw Shelby’s inquiry email file into my inbox, I was ecstatic! We go way back, well as far as high school at least! Shelby was my counselor at camp one year and became close friends with my older sister, Sarah! That friendship turned into Shelby being in my sister’s wedding and I […]
