Isabella emailed me in August – the day after Luke proposed. They knew they were in love and they knew they wanted to get married ASAP. Everything else would get figured out along the way. I already knew we’d be great together. We found a Sunday evening I was available. They found a venue they...
I’m generally pretty good at seeing the best in any situation – even in 2020. This year has been all about the pivot. Weddings couldn’t look like they once did. Guest lists shrunk. Venues closed. Invitations were rescinded. So much has changed. In the middle of the mess, I’ve noticed one shift in particular that...
This year’s seen quite a few pivots – cancelled + delayed sports seasons, virtual church services, and so much home cooking. The wedding industry is certainly no exception. Although the perfect location for Kiva + CJ’s wedding never changed, their guest list did. So on the fourth of July, in her parents’ backyard, Kiva married...
This time of year is always the craziest for me. Editing all the fall weddings + sessions, designing last minute wedding albums before Christmas, and getting ready for all of those exciting holiday engagements. This year, it feels a little extra crazy. We’re getting a nursery set up, packing hospital bags, and folding all the...
It was the first day that the temperatures had dropped just enough to remind us that fall was coming. Greg + Deana have built their life together. They have two precious kids (you’ll see quite a bit of them soon) who they spent all their most special wedding moments with. If you watch my instagram...
I’ve been looking forward to Madison + Jason’s wedding since December 20, 2017 – the day Madison first inquired. It quickly became clear that we were a match made in wedding heaven, and their engagement session the following summer definitely confirmed that. I was honestly so excited to wake up this beautiful June day and...
This was a wedding two years in the making for me. As soon as I heard Mike + Denise’s vision for what they wanted it to be, I was in. Denise is a wedding planner, and it showed in every tiny, personalized detail – from their homemade jam as wedding favors to the way they...
What a kickoff to wedding season… I’ve been anxiously awaiting Colleen + Michael’s wedding since their engagement session so long ago. These two are a class act. From her gorgeous lace gown, to his custom tux – this wedding deserves its own awards show. We started our morning at Colleen’s family home. Her close friends surrounded...
So many different factors have the opportunity to define a wedding day. Maybe it’s the weather – a freak snowstorm threatening to keep everyone off the roads. It could be a late cake delivery, or the wrong color flowers. But most often it’s the sweeter things – like a dad healthy enough to walk his...
The morning I walked into Savana + Nate’s adorable home to begin photographing their wedding day, I felt like I belonged there. Savana has this wonderful way of making everyone feel welcome. As I’m sure you’ve heard me mention, I always think of a wedding day in terms of how it makes me feel. Throughout...
You know that feeling when a song can take you right back to your first slow dance? Or you get a whiff of that distantly familiar perfume your grandma always wore? I’m such a believer in the relation of seemingly minute details to the nostalgia it can later bring. When I photograph your wedding, I want...
Every wedding feels different. I don’t mean that it looks different – dresses, colors, venues. I’m talking about how it feels. How it makes your guests feel, your bridal party feel, and specifically how it feels to me. Some weddings feel like a scavenger hunt – going from place to place and checking locations, shots, and...
