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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
