Hello

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 | Madison, GA

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.

White Laurel Estate Wedding | Dawsonville, GA

arrow

Weddings

Alice and Orlando’s White Laurel Estate wedding was filled with the sweetest moments. Starting with how they met, Alice and Orlando met at a dog park. Subsequently, in a true life 101 Dalmatians moment, their dogs Gracie and Brave became friends and Alice and Orlando’s love story began. It was only natural that Gracie and Brave were included in all aspects of the wedding.

The Sixty-Two Wedding | Madison, GA

arrow

Weddings

Miley and Jacob’s The Sixty-Two wedding was SO intentional. Jacob’s sister passed away when they were kids, so Miley found a special way to honor her. Miley had a photo printed of Brittany with her dress photoshopped to the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses. When Miley revealed this thoughtful gift, Jacob and his family were speechless. They had no clue Miley planned this.

Private Residence Wedding

Private Residence Wedding | Rutledge, GA

arrow

Weddings

Leah and Jack’s private residence wedding was incredibly special. Their engagement session was in Madison, so I loved how they kept the outdoor theme throughout their wedding festivities. It was great getting to know Leah and Jack’s personalities through their engagement session, to then being able to understand how they envisioned their wedding day.

Lake Oconee Engagement | Reynolds, GA

arrow

Engagements

Maggie and Ryan’s Lake Oconee engagement session was absolutely breathtaking! We landed on having their engagement session at Sandy Creek Barn because Maggie and Ryan are actually getting married there. The venue is gorgeous and I can’t wait for their wedding day! It’s so unique that Maggie and Ryan chose to have their engagement photos at their venue.

Athens Engagement

Athens Engagement | Athens, GA

arrow

Engagements

Emma and Brendan’s Athens engagement session was incredibly special. For starters, these two are middle school sweethearts! I photography high school and college sweethearts all the time, but middle school is so sweet and unique.

The Wimbish House Wedding | Atlanta, GA

arrow

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.

Bostwick Engagement Session | Bostwick, GA

arrow

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: The Swan House Wedding Styled Event | Atlanta, GA

arrow

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 | Atlanta, GA

arrow

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 | Atlanta, GA

arrow

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.

Magnolia Oaks Farm Wedding | Madison, GA

arrow

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 | Bishop, GA

arrow

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.

The Engine Room Wedding | Monroe, GA

arrow

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.

The Graduate Wedding | Athens, GA

arrow

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.

Surprise Proposal at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia | Athens, GA

arrow

Proposals

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!

North Campus & Lake Herrick Engagement Session | Athens, GA

arrow

Engagements

Haley and Brian really wanted pretty fall foliage for their engagement photos and Lake Herrick did not disappoint!! The walking trails and the lake were simply stunning! Then, we headed over to North Campus since they’re both UGA alums!

UGA’s North Campus Engagement Session | Athens, GA

Engagements

UGA’s North Campus Engagement Session | Athens, GA Joshua and Mary Trent both attend UGA and they got engaged on North Campus, so when we were planning for their engagement session, choosing North Campus as our location was a no brainer! These two are just precious and I cannot wait for their wedding in May […]
