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 […]

Josie and Silas. Aren’t they just the picture of JOY?!? Yes, yes they are–and it is for real! From the moment I heard from her, I knew that we would just click! Josie is a friend of Liz, whose wedding I shot in Cincinnati last year. It is extra fun when there is a common […]

Allen and Jessica have the sweetest story. They are both teachers and met because they teach at the same school! (See the photo with their school t-shirt later in the post!) Jessica teaches dance, and YOU. COULD. TELL. from their first dance. That is a must-see too! My heart went out with these two in […]

At one point during the reception, I looked over and my second shooter and photog BFF, Jill (“IDK, my BFF Jill?” Old commercial quote, anyone?!? Yeah…just me?…) was wiping away a tear. I felt one in my eye too. This day was full of moments like this and I am going to list some below […]

Sometimes I have more than a year to plan with a couple before their wedding. Other times, it is more like 3 weeks! While that is definitely less common, for Allison and Derrick, I get it 100%. They just KNEW. They wanted a small wedding with just family, and rather than spend tons of time […]

Last January, Hayes and I (and teeny baby Parker) were on our way to Charlotte for our annual weekend reunion with our college friends when I got a wedding inquiry from Claire. Who also happens to live in Charlotte. We were able to meet up for coffee while I was in town and I left […]

When I walked in the house where everyone was getting ready, I found Haley and she immediately gave me a big hug and a smile. I will admit, I am spoiled to have brides that always welcome me in to their wedding day warmly and are *so* very kind. And I already knew that was […]

It is only about 10% of the time that I have a groom make initial contact about their wedding photography instead of the bride. But when Hunter shot me an email last year to inquire about wedding photography, I could tell from how he spoke about Michele that not only were they both involved in […]
