Lake Oconee Engagement | Maggie and Ryan

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.

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.

Weddings

April and Jackson’s Pinecroft at Crosley Estate wedding was one of the first of my photography career. I started photographing weddings when were living in Ohio, and April and Jackson’s wedding is one I think of often. April planned a gorgeous day with stunning details. The floral arch at their ceremony was breathtaking.

Rainy Wedding Day? No Problem!

For Brides

Having a rainy wedding day is not the nightmare scenario you think it is! However, having a rainy wedding day without a back-up rain plan, especially if you are incorporating outdoor spaces for your venue, reception, or both, is.

Second Photographers, What’s The Deal?

For Brides

A frequent question I get from brides is: “Do I really need a second photographer for my wedding?”

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

Engagements

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!

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

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.

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.

Summerour Studio Wedding

Katie + Chas’s Summerour Studio Wedding was too dreamy for words! From the half-arch greenery at their ceremony to the anemones mixed throughout the bouquets and all the details in between, I couldn’t get over how gorgeous this day was!

Haley and Brian’s The Farm at High Shoals wedding was a highly anticipated summer night! After being thrown quite a few curveballs due to COVID, this couple was ready to celebrate with their closest friends and family.

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!

The Engine Room Wedding, Monroe, Georgia

Weddings

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of photographing Mary Trent + Joshua’s big day at The Engine Room in Monroe, Georgia. Funny enough, I used to babysit Joshua and his siblings, so it was special to get to document this season of his life.

Mercy and Justin got married on a beautiful November day at Heartwood Acres. The crazy part? Mercy hired me TEN days before her wedding! Her original photographer had a family emergency and I was so glad that I was able to fill in. I loved working with these two!
