Winston & Adrienne // Atlantic Center for the Arts Intimate Wedding

I sure love me some intimate weddings - Winston & Adrienne's was no exception. It was such a relaxed day & it truly felt like Adrienne & Winston were slowly soaking in each drop. They leisurely got ready with the help of their parents, then braved the rain for some portraits. The literal moment we stepped outside for the first look, the skies unleashed. With a little bit a sweet talking, we were able to convince an art gallery manager to open after hours so we could duck inside while it monsooned. This "Plan B" turned out to be the best thing we could have asked for- portraits in an art gallery are pretty much a giant YES for me. 

My favorite moment of the day (& probably top five for weddings this year) was the holy space that came immediately after Adrienne & Winston were pronounced husband & wife. They both exited the chapel, tears streaming down their face & spent the next few minutes in this sacred atmosphere of emotion. I felt so honored to bear witness & I've choked up every single time I scroll through that portion of the images. 

It truly was a special day with two incredibly tender, kind, warm & intentional people.

Winston & Adrienne, you are lovely. 

Anthony & Caroline // Classy Bramble Tree Estate Wedding

It was a sunny day in mid- March at the lovely Bramble Tree Estate. After exchanging vows, Anthony & Caroline walked back down the aisle with tears in their eyes. They had a few moments before their friends & family rushed to hug & congratulate them. They stood tearfully embracing one another, both of their eyes filled with such gratitude and appreciation. 

This was my favorite memory of the day- a quiet moment aways from all the to-do, just 2 people in awe of one another & soaking in the joy of new life together. 

Anthony & Caroline, you are both so lovely. Thank you for letting me be a part of your story. <3 

Elliot & Melissa // Atlanta Urban Loft Wedding

Elliot & Melissa's wedding day was one for the books. The location was to die for- an actual dream come true for my minimalistic, warehousey loft loving heart. And the people, oh my, the people.  From the moment Melissa & I first spoke on the phone during our consult, we instantly connected. Meeting her on the wedding day was no different- she ran up to me, giant smile on her face & gave me the sweetest hug. It was as if we'd been friends for years. 

Melissa's energy & kindness was infectious. Her friends were amazing & it hardly felt like work getting to spend the day with them. Elliot & Melissa wed a few days before they would celebrate their 12th anniversary together. High school sweethearts, through & through- Melissa asked Elliot to homecoming & the love never stopped. 

It was a honor to stand alongside such joyful & kind couple as they entered into a new level of life together. Thank you so much for having me Elliot & Melissa. I love these images & I hope they live long in your hearts as well. 

Jason & Natalie // Intimate Orlando Wedding

Nat & Jason are just some of the coolest people you will ever meet. They are fun-loving, kind, warm, silly & all around incredible. All my time with them is natural, easy, & full of laughter. 

They married on a beautiful spring day in a sweet, intimate ceremony with their closest friends & family by their sides. The ceremony was incredibly special- each member of the wedding party played a part in the officiating. They took turns sharing stories of Nat & Jason, words of wisdom, encouragement, & speaking life over the marriage. It was so unique & meaningful which seemed to match Nat & Jason perfectly. 

It was a simple, but deeply intentional celebration followed by food trucks & laughter. I can't say enough about these two because I love them so much. I feel so lucky to have met such lovely people & get to know them during this time of their lives. They are truly clients turned friends & I'm excited we live in the same city & can go grab beers & talk about the Magic & Taylor Swift. ;)

Brian & Kami // Elopement

Oh man, elopements are my favorite. They are so intimate & intentional & I always end up crying my eyes out during the vow exchange. It certainly was no exception with Kami & Brian. Last month, these two & myself ventured to a state park near the coast- it was the perfect blend of Florida greens & white sand. I was honored to witness their union & loved getting to spend so much time with them on this incredible day. 

Brian & Kami- congrats on the start of your new life together! May it be blessed immensely!
