It was elegant. It was FUN! It was breathtakingly beautiful. Carley and Steve’s Poinsett Club wedding was everything and more! This wedding was well planned from the *start* because I actually got connected with these two initially through their planner, HG from Sprague Events! HG is one of my favorite planners to work with and […]

Some things are worth waking up at 4:15am for….and these 2 definitely fit that category! Randall and Kristen met through work, and got engaged under the Christmas lights this past Christmas. And when you know you know, right?!? No need for a long engagement! And when Pretty Place has a sunrise ceremony open, you take […]

Here they are! The lovely Mr. and Mrs. Miller!!! Laura and Patrick could not have possibly been more FUN! They are both so kind and enjoyable, you just can’t help but be drawn to them! Their wedding was the weekend after Thanksgiving and it felt like the celebration was just continuing on. Their ceremony was […]

In all their newlywed glory, here they are! Abigail and Jordan! Can I just tell you that one of my very favorite things about this job is getting to know (and photograph!) groups of friends! It is just so fun! I actually FIRST met Abigail when she can along to help our at her roommate […]

Talk about pictures speaking louder than words: I mean….yeah….and THAT is worth driving down to from Pittsburgh, PA! Shannon and John did just that for their mid-week sunrise wedding at Pretty Place. When you are coming from far away and getting married at a time when the weather can be a little volatile at sunrise…it […]

It’s Samantha and Josh…and they are married!!! Josh and Sam met in college in Texas where they live. Their first date was to an Astro’s game and after a year they were engaged! Three years after that, they were planning their destination wedding to Pretty Place and that is when I heard from them. It […]

The biggest smiles in town are here and they belong to the new Mr. and Mrs.!! Halli and Jonathan!! The teacher and the horticulturist–they are a perfect match! From our first emails, you could tell these two were down to earth, fun, and crazy about each other!! I also knew their wedding would be only […]

Can you beat a bride and groom in a river? I think not! Here are Ash and Bryan, aka Mr. and Mrs. Raines!! Their story is a beautiful one–Ash fell in love with the little town of Mill Springs, NC so much so that while working there she would commute at all hours just to […]

Third try is the charm! Dan and Paige had to wait patiently for Covid to calm down enough to celebrate with their WHOLE crew–but it was well worth the wait I’d say! Paige is a police detective and Dan is in the military–both very serious jobs. So that might lead you to think their wedding […]

Here they are! Casey and Chad Reece! I remember sitting down with Casey and her mom at Panera back last summer and leaving hoping so much I would get to work with them. It was just as much of a joy as I thought it was going to be from that first meeting! Casey and […]
