Hello

Intimate State Botanical Gardens of Georgia Wedding

arrow

Weddings

I absolutely loved Kylie and Vivek’s intimate botanical garden wedding! I’ve mentioned it before, but the State Gardens on UGA’s campus are a dream location for me. I want to take as many portrait sessions as possible in the rose garden!

The Chapel Athens Wedding

arrow

Weddings

Kaitlyn and Dillon’s wedding at The Chapel Athens continued the trend of their engagement session: celebrating the couple and the city of Athens around them. As it is practically my home town as well, I’m obsessed with some of the city portrait shots we captured between the wedding and the reception.

The Venue at Aberdeen Wedding | Statham, GA

Weddings

Ashlyn and Matt’s raucously fun wedding at The Venue at Aberdeen is today’s blog highlight! As you can imagine, I have seen quite the range of fun weddings in my career. This one has instantly shot near to the top!

Today, we are taking a quick glance at Susan and Greg’s intimate State Botanical Gardens of Georgia wedding! I love this venue more every time I visit. The flowers were showing off in the bright sunlight of spring!

Downtown Athens Engagement Session

Engagements

Today we are following Meredith and Hunter’s engagement session from Lake Herrick to downtown Athens! If you’ve followed my photography for awhile, you know that I adore three things: lakes, dogs, and gorgeous lighting. In this series of photos, you get a healthy dose of all three!

The Hazelhurst House Wedding | McDonough, Ga

Weddings

Victoria and Joel’s wedding at The Hazelhurst House was a glowing day of classic Southern beauty. The location was a classic Georgia home with gorgeous columns and sprawling grounds perfect for portraits!

Hadden Estate Wedding | Watkinsville, GA

arrow

Weddings

Gracie and Luke’s wedding at the Hadden Estate had two of my favorite things: cowboy hats and a dog! There is something deeply nostalgic for the country life I grew up when I see cowboy hats and I love how they were incorporated into their wedding attire. Of course, any dog will always attempt to steal the show!

The Georgia Club Wedding | Statham, GA

arrow

Weddings

Caroline and Riley’s wedding at The Georgia Club was a wedding detailed to perfection! There’s something I love about a color scheme reminiscent of a coastal estate that Caroline’s choices absolutely nailed down. Between elegant white flowers and bountiful touches of blue, this was a timeless event!

2425 Warehouse Wedding | Monroe, GA

arrow

Weddings

Amanda-Ruth and Matthew’s wedding at the 2425 Warehouse in Monroe, GA kicks off three weeks with one absolutely lovely family on the blog! The word that comes to mind when I think of this wedding is “sweet.” The balance of love, connection, family, and joy culminated in an absolutely perfect day.

255 Milledge Wedding | Athens, GA

arrow

Weddings

For my first blog of the new year, we are diving into Ashley and Andrew’s wedding at 255 Milledge! I’ve spent so much time with them over the last year that this one feels exceptionally special. If you haven’t checked out their engagement session or their bury the bourbon session yet, definitely do so before checking out this one! I shared their rehearsal dinner last week as well. I’m simply in love with them.

Weddings

You’ve already met Ashley and Andrew on my blog, but today we’re diving into their rehearsal dinner at 255 Milledge! I don’t get invited to many rehearsal dinners, but this one was full of charm and unique moments. I loved it!

Engagement Session at UGA’s North Campus | Athens, GA

arrow

Engagements

Today I’m sharing some of my favorites from Victoria and Joel’s engagement session at UGA’s North Campus. You all already know that this location never gets old for me! There are so many amazing spots to grab unique and beautiful captures and I’m always discovering more!

Peachtree Road United Methodist Church Wedding | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Weddings

Last week I promised Grace and Austin’s wedding at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, and I try to keep all of my promises! I love when couples create a wedding day that is reflective of and unique to them. For Grace and Austin, that meant a brunch wedding! How fun is that?

Bury the Bourbon | 255 Milledge

arrow

Weddings

When Ashley and Andrew told me about how they wanted to partake in the bury the bourbon tradition, I just knew I had to be there to help them capture the moment. I’ve loved getting to know these two during our engagement session. One of my favorite things about being a photographer is being invited into favorite traditions!

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia Engagement Session | Athens, GA

arrow

Engagements

Kaitlyn and Dillon’s engagement session at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is today’s featured blog. This is one of my favorite free session locations in Athens! A well-manicured garden or park always provided elegant, natural backdrops that enhance any session together.

Hadden Estate at Damn Good Dawg Farms Wedding

arrow

Weddings

Marie and Aaron’s wedding at the Hadden Estate at Damn Good Dawg Farms was the perfect way to kick off my summer wedding season! Despite all the emotions and stress that accompany wedding days, the group around them were really fun and sweet. Not only did it make their day easier and more memorable, it helped me capture the moments along the way.

The Wildflower 301 Wedding | Greensboro, GA

arrow

Weddings

Brooke and Zach’s wedding at the Wildflower 301 is today’s blog offering! This couple was exceptionally kind and I loved every minute I spent around them this day. I know every photographer says their couples are beautiful inside and out, but we truly mean it! These two were so intentional in their decisions and design and it really coalesced into a stunning, elegant day.

Downtown Madison Engagement Session | Madison, GA

arrow

Engagements

Caroline and Riley’s downtown Madison engagement session ended in one of the most magical moments I’ve ever captured. Don’t skip ahead to the end, but definitely stay and scroll until you see the final pictures.

Grant Hill Farms Wedding | Commerce, GA

arrow

Weddings

Kayla and Brantley’s Grant Hill Farms Wedding was a perfectly charming fall wedding. I’d previously shot a wedding there in 2021, and I adore the blue barn and the lush green landscape around it. Being a fall wedding, Kayla’s focus on a rust color palette really drew everything together. I loved it!

Sandy Creek Barn Wedding | Lake Oconee, GA

arrow

Weddings

Maggie and Ryan’s Sandy Creek Barn Wedding on Lake Oconee was a sun-kissed stunner! I have spent many hours on the lake with my husband, kids, family, and friends and I loved being able to shoot a wedding on this important spot. With a stylish eye that perfectly blended classic and modern, I loved how Maggie’s vendors put her vision together.

The Farm at High Shoals Engagement Session | Bishop, GA

arrow

Engagements

Mollie and Josh’s engagement session took place at one of my favorite wedding venues: The Farm at High Shoals. Since I’ve developed a good relationship with the venue after shooting a few weddings there, they were gracious enough to let us use the sprawling grounds as the backdrop for this joy-filled couple!

The Factory at Walton Mill Wedding | Monroe, GA

arrow

Weddings

Sidney and Taylor’s wedding at The Factory at Walton Mill brought together modern chic with an industrial setting. Simply put, it was a jaw dropper! They also had one of the best photobooks I’ve ever seen.

The Farm at High Shoals Wedding | Bishop, GA

arrow

Weddings

Lauren and Harrison’s wedding let me return to one of my favorite venues in all of Georgia: The Farm at High Shoals just outside of Athens in Bishop, Georgia. Working alongside one of my favorite wedding planners, Lindsey Wise, the couple shared their vision for every little detail and Lindsey definitely delivered! As I moved around the stunning venue taking photographs, I was blown away by the level of intricacy and care in every aspect of the design. Every aspect of the day, from getting ready and portraits at the Villa to the ceremony in the vineyard and on into the cocktail hour and reception at the stables, made this wedding into the definition of a showstopper.

Downtown Madison Engagement

arrow

Engagements

Amanda-Ruth and Matthew’s downtown Madison engagement session was so sweet. If you can’t tell from the photos, Amanda-Ruth and Matthew are so precious and kind. We started out in downtown Madison, which is so quaint and cute. Then, we headed to my house to use my field as our second spot. Amanda-Ruth really wanted photos in a field, so I knew the one at my house would be perfect. Clearly I’m biased.
