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!

Barrington Hall Engagement Session | Roswell, GA

arrow

Engagements

Today I’m bringing you Alyssa and Josh’s Barrington Hall engagement session. This historic house is right in the heart of downtown Roswell. I love the pop of color that the teal shutters add to the photos. We wandered the gardens around the house, enjoying the beautiful fall weather and the late blooming flowers. I’ve shot a wedding at another historic house in Roswell, Ivy Hall, and I’m starting to love all these homes. Almost as much as I love my couples!

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!

Piedmont Garden Tent Wedding | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Weddings

Tess and Nick’s Piedmont Garden Tent Wedding is the highlight this week, just like I promised. Located in the heart of midtown Atlanta, Piedmont Park was full of people enjoying the immaculate weather. However, with the venue located on the edge of the park, it also felt like everyone was celebrating this beautiful 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!

Ivy Hall Wedding | Roswell, GA

arrow

Weddings

The Ivy Hall Wedding of Emma and Brendan is extremely special because there are middle school sweethearts! High school and college sweethearts are very common amongst my clients, but this was a first for me.

Painted Horse Winery Engagement Session | Milton, GA

arrow

Engagements

Ashley and Andrew’s engagement session at Painted Horse Winery highlighted one of my favorite things about couples: when they’re thinking outside the box! Not only was it a unique location, it was stunning and extremely fun. If you and your significant other have a special restaurant or location, don’t be afraid to ask the business owners if you can stage a photoshoot there. Look how good it turned out for Ashley and Andrew!

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.

Ashven Estate Wedding | Villa Rica, GA

arrow

Weddings

Yasmin and Efrain are one of the most precious couples I’ve had the privilege of working with to date! Even though it was the day all eyes were to be focused on them, they were extremely concerned that their guests had an excellent time and were well taken care of. Weather threatened this outdoor wedding all day long. However, you know you’ve got the right team of vendors and bridal party when everyone was all hands on deck if it began to rain.

Piedmont Park Engagement Session | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Engagements

I’m posting Maura and Max’s Piedmont Park engagement session today because we are less than a month away from their wedding! One thing to consider with engagement sessions, especially in popular locations in cities as large as Atlanta, is how crowded they will be at the time of the photoshoot. Maura, Max, and I hit The Beltline and Piedmont Park early in the morning to try and negate this issue.

Backyard Elopement | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Elopements

Emily and Justin’s intimate Atlanta elopement was full of the same elegance you’d expect from a traditional wedding. Instead of paying for the big event, the couple decided to go to Italy for three weeks instead. Who can blame them there? I can’t! The cool part is that we still had a ton of fun with just the three of us anyway.

Mackey House Wedding | Savannah, GA

arrow

Weddings

I immediately want to say yes to any chance that I have to photograph a wedding or engagement session in Savannah. As you can imagine, when Jess and Chris brought me on board to capture their day at The Mackey House, I couldn’t have been more excited. Although we didn’t meet in person prior to their wedding, we planned out their desired shots over the phone and via email to make sure we captured every single moment of their day.

Savannah Engagement Session

Savannah Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Erin and John’s Perry Lane Hotel Wedding in Savannah could not have been more beautiful. But it wasn’t the last time I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple! During their wedding planning process, they decided to forego an engagement session. As I’m sure you’re aware, sometimes it’s difficult to budget, plan for, and fit everything in before your wedding day! However, once Erin’s sister uncovered their decision, she knew she had to intervene.

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.

Swan House Wedding | Atlanta, GA

arrow

Weddings

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!

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

arrow

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.

Intimate Garden Wedding

Intimate Garden Wedding | Decatur, GA

arrow

Weddings

Megan and Brandon’s intimate garden wedding was breathtaking. After their engagement session, I couldn’t wait to celebrate their big day with them! I couldn’t wait to see Hotel Clermont dressed up for Megan and Brandon’s wedding. It’s such a unique space to get married! Megan and Brandon are an incredibly intentional couple.
