Corey & Annie // Serenbe Georgia Wedding

I almost have no words for how perfect this was. 

From the full of character getting ready houses, to the impeccable style of every little detail, to the sprawling fields & towering forest- & those are only the visuals. 

More notably, Corey & Annie fully immersed themselves in the gravity of the day. The tender notes written, worshipping while exchanging vows, the intimacy of holding one another at dusk when we stole away to the horse field- they dwelled in each moment as it came. 

It was an honor to bear witness to this beautiful union. I hope you feel it all as you scroll through their story. 

Cameron & Kelsey // A Delamater House Wedding

Cameron & Kelsey, two of the sweetest humans to ever live. Their wedding day was full of intentionality & vulnerability. Their vows were sacred & a beautiful picture of true commitment & sacrificial love. I love these two with all my heart & they deserve the world. Standing with them on this day was an honor. <3 

I'm so happy I get to live life with you, Cam & Kels. <3

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. 

Daniel & Kaylee // New York City Rooftop Proposal

When Daniel first came to me with the idea of proposing to Kaylee in New York & bringing me along to document, I was ecstatic! I LOVE proposals & I love love love NYC, so I mean what could be better?!

After some serious brainstorming & research, Daniel found the most perfect location & we devised a plan to make this surprise epic. Last Monday, before the sun came up, we both hopped on a plane & secretly made our way to Brooklyn where Kaylee was visiting for a work trip.

The proposal went down on the patio of Westlight Bar in the William Vale Hotel. To say the views were unreal is an understatement- I mean, it's just insane. It was all perfect. Daniel laid out a special blanket that Kaylee had given him as a gift years before & one they frequently use for picnics. The weather was biting cold, but the sun was shining bright. The entire Manhattan skyline was sprawled out behind us. I crouched on the ground behind a wall & Daniel swayed excitedly/nervously back & forth as we waited for Kaylee to arrive for "drinks with friends".

Her face of shock when she first saw him was priceless. She stood frozen with her hands on her face & Daniel had to come lead her to the blanket where he would propose. And just like that, these two high school sweethearts get to be together forever! EEEEK! 

Dex & Megan // Intimate Bohemian Backyard Wedding

There really are no words for this one.

All I can say is that Dex & Megan's story is so special to me.

It's soaked in hope & redemption. It was everything I needed to see in this season of my life. Being there on that day, I felt their joy in my bones & I feel it again every time I look at these images. 

Jamie & Suz // Brooklyn Rooftop Engagement

Back in November I was able to visit New York City for Jamie & Suz's engagement photos & holy cow, was it fun. I mean it was next level fun. We ran around their Brooklyn neighborhood, drank beer in Ubers, ate delicious pizza, & climbed to their rooftop for a sunset that couldn't have been better. We spent an entire afternoon together & it was non stop laughter & fun for me. These two are like a breath of fresh air & I'm so so happy to have made these photos with them. 

I could go on forever, but I'll just let the images speak for themselves. Enjoy <3

Patrick & Sarah // Engagement

Last month I was out in California attending a photography conference ( it was incredible, by the way). After the conference, a few fellow photographers & I took a mini road trip to explore & have some fun shooting in new locations. Along the way we had the opportunity to collaborate on an engagement session in Malibu & it was amazing! Patrick & Sarah are the sweetest couple. They were so playful with one another & their love was making me squeal with excitement. Even as I was editing this session, I don't think a smile left my face once. 

Major props to Patrick & Sarah who totally went along with having 3 crazy photographers at their session. It was so much fun! 

Below is a selection of my favorite images from my camera that day! 

Landon & Alyson // Wedding

This wedding day started at the crack of dawn with groomsmen cooking breakfast as the rising sun peeked through the blinds & with bridesmaids dancing while popping bottles of champagne. There was so much energy & excitement in the air, it almost made me (a super non-morning person) forget it was 6am! Haha. When your ceremony starts at 11am, you have a lot of celebration to pack in before lunch & these two certainly didn't hold back! 

Landon & Alyson married in a sweet little chapel in the heart of Winter Park, FL surrounded by close family  & friends. Their intimate ceremony was followed by a quaint lunch with family & then continued onto a big party where they were joined by lots of friends to dance & celebrate into the evening! 

Thanks so much for asking me to join in on your big day & thanks for trusting me to wake up before the sun. ;) Love you two! 

Tyler & Mary // Wedding

I know the holidays are well under way, but I wanted to sneak in one more blog post before all the Thanksgiving festivities start! Today I'm sharing some highlights from Tyler & Mary's October wedding in Port Orange, Florida. This was such a fun one to be apart of because Tyler & Mary are so chill & relaxed. Mary has a great sarcastic sense of humor & the most beautiful fiery hair! Tyler was so sweet & it was completely evident how excited he was to marry his lady. 

Hope you enjoy these snippets from the day- oh and you know I had to throw in some dancing photos for good measure because Mary & her family are big time dancers! They loved to party! ;)

Eric & Mackenzie // Elopement

This fall I've gotten extremely lucky with some amazing small wedding/elopement clients. Just a few weeks ago I shared one of my all time favorites, Matt & Ash's Lookout Mountain elopement, and today, I've got another incredible one for you! 

Eric & Mackenzie wed in Fontana Dam, North Carolina in the most spectacular mountain home owned by Mackenzie's parents. It's totally different than your typical mountain lodge, but it's completely amazing & 100% my dream. Everything about the weekend was so cool. The 15 or so guests took over a neighboring motel & the beautiful home was the hub for all the fun festivities. Every detail was of impeccable style, not to mention the food was legitimately out of this world. All meals for the weekend were catered by Orlando based company, D'Lish Catering Co., and it was all next level- each meal even better than the last! 

It was a sweet, intimate weekend of celebration & gathering of friends. Eric & Mackenzie's families were so kind & warmly welcomed me into every activity. After 3 days, several shared meals, & wedding festivities, I left on Sunday feeling like part of the family. It really is so special & unique to be a part of a celebration where you have the opportunity to spend so much time with a couple & know all their wedding guests by name. Have I mentioned just how much I love small weddings/elopements?! 

Eric, Mackenzie, & their daughter make for a seriously attractive crew & they were so kind, relaxed, & go with the flow. Even when the schedule ran late & we found ourselves shooting their portraits after the sun set, they fully embraced it which made for some super cool moody images! Plus their crazy good style was just an extra bonus.  All in all, everything was delightful!  Thanks so much for having me as part of your weekend, you two! :)
