Hello

Do You Really Need a Second Photographer?

arrow

For Brides

A frequent question I get from brides is: “Do I really need a second photographer for my wedding”? I wanted to have a dedicated blog post to share the importance, and hopefully convince you if I haven’t already.

The Wimbish House Wedding

Weddings

Ashley and Jasen’s Wimbish House wedding was a classic affair. White was the color for their wedding; from the bridesmaids dresses to the flowers and the reception space, I absolutely adored this look! Ashley and Jasen were the sweetest couple to work with, and all around so much fun.

Madison Engagement Session

Engagements

Hanging out with Leah and Jack in their hometown of Bostwick, Georgia for their engagement session was such a treat. These two are getting married on March 19th, so you could say I can’t wait to celebrate them so soon!

The Swan House Editorial

Editorials

The Swan House is a venue that most wedding industry professionals have high on their bucket list, and I was lucky enough shoot an editorial here recently. Everything about The Swan House is swoon worthy. The architecture and the landscaping are a photographers dream!

Midtown Atlanta Engagement Session

Engagements

McKenzie and Cameron’s Midtown Atlanta engagement session took us through Winn Park and Peachtree Street. We chose to walk Peachtree Street as McKenzie and Cameron both worked in the PWC building throughout their relationship. They would walk to get coffee together, so I really loved this full circle moment.

Cator Woolford Gardens Engagement

Engagements

I loved getting to spend time with Megan and Brandon during their Cator Woolford Gardens Engagement session earlier last year. These two are having an intentional and intimate wedding next month (what!) and I cannot wait to celebrate with them.

Peachtree Club Rooftop Wedding

Weddings

Melanie and Michael were the sweetest, most intentional couple and I loved every minute of working with them. Within seconds of meeting them, you can tell how deeply they care for one another, but also everyone around them. Their Peachtree Club Rooftop wedding was incredible.

Big Canoe Clubhouse at Lake Sconti Wedding

Weddings

Morgan and Gary’s Big Canoe Clubhouse at Lake Sconti wedding was so dreamy and unique. The pretty mountain views were the perfect backdrop for this special day. I loved how their planner and designer, Lindsey Wise Designs, pulled off the most gorgeous boho design.

Summerour Studio Wedding

Weddings

Katie + Chas’s Summerour Studio Wedding was too dreamy for words! From the half-arch greenery at their ceremony to the anemones mixed throughout the bouquets and all the details in between, I couldn’t get over how gorgeous this day was!

Magnolia Oaks Farm Wedding

Weddings

Anslyn + Brady were such a fun couple to get to know and a joy to work with throughout their engagement and wedding day. They’re the kind of people who you feel like you’ve known for years. Each moment of their Magnolia Oaks Farm Wedding day was intentional, personal and so sweet.

The Farm at High Shoals Wedding

Weddings

Haley and Brian’s The Farm at High Shoals wedding was a highly anticipated summer night! After being thrown quite a few curveballs due to COVID, this couple was ready to celebrate with their closest friends and family.

Classic Piedmont Room Wedding

Weddings

Emma + Victor’s classic Piedmont Room Wedding was all things intentional and SO much fun. After shooting their engagement session earlier in the year and getting to know them on a more personal level, I couldn’t wait to be a part of their wedding!

The Engine Room Wedding, Monroe, Georgia

Weddings

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of photographing Mary Trent + Joshua’s big day at The Engine Room in Monroe, Georgia. Funny enough, I used to babysit Joshua and his siblings, so it was special to get to document this season of his life.

Earlier this year, Alexis Lunsford and I put together an editorial-like, stylized luxury Garden Party Wedding at the The Gardens outside Athens, GA!

Cator Woolford Gardens Wedding, Atlanta, Georgia

arrow

Weddings

Covid threw this couple so many curveballs, but we were determined to take their bride and groom portraits in the gardens no matter what! Covid has done many things… but robbing the joy is not one of them! Many congratulations and much love to Andromeda and Jay!

The Graduate Wedding, Athens, Georgia

Weddings

Millie and Tyler… find a sweeter, more head-over-heels-in-love couple… I’ll wait. These two are precious and their wedding day was on a warm, sunny day in February.

Favorite Engagement Session Locations in Georgia

arrow

For Brides

I love engagement sessions so much! It’s such a great time to get to know my couples and for them to get comfortable in front of the camera. One of the most common questions I get about engagement sessions has to do with locations. I’m always happy to give recommendations, but…

Winn Park & Ponce City Market Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Emma and Victor are such a sweet and fun couple to hang out with! When I first talked to Emma on the phone, I was blown away by how much we had in common–we definitely had a connection from the start and I’m so thrilled that I get to photograph their wedding.

Surprise Proposal at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia

Engagements

I’m a sucker for a good proposal story. In fact, I always ask my couples at their consultation how they got engaged. So, imagine how much I love photographing proposals? Um… the limit does not exist!

Fort Lauderdale Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Plans fell through several times for Anslyn and Brady to come back to Madison for their engagement session (lookin’ at you, Covid!), so we scratched all the plans we had made. I flew down to Ft. Lauderdale and we met up at the beautiful Hugh Taylor Birch State Park!

What to look for in a getting ready space

For Brides

Big windows mean lots of light and we all know how important light is for photography!! Having large windows that lets in light will make your photos look soft and natural, which will be more consistent with the rest of the portraits in your gallery!

Heartwood Acres Wedding, Eatonton, GA

Weddings

Mercy and Justin got married on a beautiful November day at Heartwood Acres. The crazy part? Mercy hired me TEN days before her wedding! Her original photographer had a family emergency and I was so glad that I was able to fill in. I loved working with these two!
