Here they are! Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick!! How gorgeous are these two?!? They got married on a Friday and the day started with me pulling up to the *cutest* little Inn. I love inns. I’m not sure that I *knew* how much I love inns until this day, but turns out that I do! 🙂 […]

“I will sing of the goodness of God….” The song Kimberly walked down the aisle to. So many things about them made my heart so happy, and the music in their ceremony encompassed it all. These two have been through a lot on the way to September 20, 2020. And yet…the goodness of God prevails. […]

No two times at Pretty Place is alike. It is one of those wonderful places that is gorgeous in its own right, but also depending on the day and lighting, can look so different from a photographic point of view. This time, I got to take some nighttime portraits which was a fun challenge! You […]

I first met Emilye and Ryan  more than a year ago and we had a great time sitting at Spill the Beans in downtown talking about all things wedding….and Disney! 🙂 We were so excited about their May wedding and then….ya know…Corona…. They got officially married on that original date in a sweet backyard ceremony, […]

  I have done a few elopements since the whole Covid ordeal started, but most of them have been more like micro-weddings than elopements, because they have had some people there to watch.. Well, I can officially say as of this Thursday that I have done a true elopement this year. It was just me, […]

Is it just the theme of this summer to be dodging rain?? Last weekend we drove up to Charlotte to photograph one of Hayes’s best childhood friends proposing! I was so excited that it worked out for me to be able to do it, and we drove up early to be sure we got into […]

Usually when I shoot a proposal, I have talked to the soon-to-be-groom several times, we have gotten all the details set, I have scoped out the perfect hiding place, etc. But this day, I met Taylor approximately 30 seconds before he proposed to Brooke. Here’s how it went down: Last weekend I had 2 sessions […]

When I first met Jordan and Anna, of course none of us knew the challenges that would face their wedding with Covid-19. It’s kind of like life, though. When you get married, you have no idea what kind of struggles you will go through over the years. You just know that whatever comes, you will […]

I think it’s safe to say that Covid-19 disproportionately affected these two–right up to the actual week of their wedding. Eesh. And you know how they handled it? Like the champs that they are. They rolled with the punches and everything ended up going so well. Pandemic or not, I always show up to the wedding […]

Olivia and Corey had been planning their intimate outdoor elopement style wedding for months–way before Covid-19 made it the new thing to do. You might say they are trailblazers! 🙂 It was beautiful mountain afternoon for them to officially become a family. Let’s be real–they were already family, but sealing the deal is always special. Here […]
