Madison and Chris met up with me recently in Piedmont Park for their engagement session. It’s an obvious Atlanta classic, but I feel like we managed to capture some of the best lighting I’ve had at this iconic venue.

Today we’re traveling down into Central Georgia for Carlie and Kyler’s private estate wedding in Lyons! Since my career has started, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a few private estate weddings and let me just say: I love them! The freedom and creativity by not having to conform to venue rules and restrictions really allows the wedding to shine!

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!

Today I’m sharing a very special bridal session with Carlie at Birdie & Co Studio! The pure excitement of seeing everything come together in a top secret pre-wedding “test run” is a pure prelude of joy. The peace and lack of pressure on the day really comes through in these photos. It’s a sacred glimpse into those last few moments before marriage.

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!

Between elegant white flowers and bountiful touches of blue, this was a timeless event!

Kelly and David’s wedding at the Country Club of Roswell was my last wedding of 2023!

Carlyn and Forde’s wedding at the Meadows at Mossy Creek was an outdoor stunner! After watching the forecast all week leading up to the wedding, we knew it could be a close call for their outdoor venue. However, the rain quit falling just in time and held off through the ceremony!

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.

We headed out to Little River Farms for Kristen and Ryan’s engagement session because they’re also getting married there in March! I personally find doing the engagement session at the venue location to be exciting for the bride and groom and helpful for me. I love watching their faces as the excitement grows. “That’s where we’ll be getting married!” “Our reception will be over there.” The energy is infectious!

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?
