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.

McKenzie and Cameron’s Swan House wedding was absolutely magnificent. McKenzie and Cameron met on a work kickball team and became best friends before they started dating. I love how unique their love story is. It’s hard to believe we were just taking McKenzie and Cameron’s engagement photos!

Emma + Victor’s classic Piedmont Room Wedding was all things intentional and SO much fun. After shooting their engagement session earlier in the year and getting to know them on a more personal level, I couldn’t wait to be a part of their wedding!

Big windows mean lots of light and we all know how important light is for photography!! Having large windows that lets in light will make your photos look soft and natural, which will be more consistent with the rest of the portraits in your gallery! 

When I was planning my wedding 9 years ago, photos were the most important thing to me. I wanted to have a lot of photos and I wanted them to be taken during the very best light. I asked James if he would mind doing a first look.
