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!

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!

Roswell, Georgia Engagement Session

Engagements

Tess and Nick’s Roswell, Georgia engagement session is kicking off back to back weeks of highlighting this couple! That’s right, next week you’ll get to see highlights of their gorgeous Persian wedding at the Piedmont Garden Tent. But for now, check out these dreamy photos we took around their neighborhood and with their perfect dogs! You know I love when couples include their pups!

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.

Hadden Estate Engagement Session | Watkinsville, GA

arrow

Engagements

Gracie and Luke are tying the knot in June of 2023. After reviewing this engagement photo session, I can’t wait to see how beautiful they look on their big day! Their upcoming wedding is going to be at the gorgeous Hadden Estate. We decided to head over to their stunning blueberry fields for some golden hour portraits and a venue sneak peak.

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.

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.

Perry Lane Hotel Wedding

Perry Lane Hotel Wedding | Savannah, GA

arrow

Weddings

Erin and John’s Perry Lane Hotel wedding was all things classic, sweet and elegant. While it rained off an on all day, Savannah is a city that looks lovely no matter what! Not to mention, Erin and John took the day in stride and didn’t let the rain ruin their special day. Some of my favorite photos were of Erin and John walking through the rain with the clear umbrella.

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.

Hadden Estate Wedding

Hadden Estate Wedding | Watkinsville, GA

Weddings

Yeni and Zach’s Hadden Estate wedding was so much fun! Hadden Estate is a new venue in Watkinsville and it has so much to offer. The venue is situated on a blueberry farm and the entire property is gorgeous. There are a few different options as to where to have the ceremony.

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 | Maggie and Ryan

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 | Emma and Brendan

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.

Do You Really Need a Second Photographer?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
