What’s your favorite part of a wedding? Is it sneaking a peek at the groom’s face while everyone else is turned to look at the bride entering? Is it the first dance?

Y’all! THE coolest styled shoot in forever… For so many reasons! The venue is incredible. For real. Our lineup of vendors was insane. Seriously – such a killer group of people. Our couple was TO. DIE. FOR. We found out something the day of the styled elopement that made this whole thing 10,000 times better! […]

I hear you’re getting married, eh? Awesome! You know you have to attend a wedding show, right? No, but really – you probably should. They are THE place to find a ton of different vendors all in the same place, at the same time. It’s a phenomenal way to get a better idea of who […]

With every wedding that I’m a part of, certain things stick out in my mind. Sometimes it’s the food, the way the groom reacted when he saw his bride, the insane moves seen on a dance floor or even being totally surprised by interpretive dancers coming down the aisle when I was prepared for the […]

For me, photography is much more than a “means to an end,” or a job to be finished. Instead, it’s an experience that I’m convinced should be felt and enjoyed. Anytime I’m talking with perspective couples I always spend far more time emphasizing the passion I have for the people I’m working with – because I feel […]

Y’all – 2017 was seriously the best! I was able to work with the coolest couples and capture some of my favorite work to date. I love to look back on each year that I’ve photographed, because it lets me see how my style has evolved and how my work has grown with each passing […]

These two are simply the best. They met over 8 years ago (yes, EIGHT!) and have been in love pretty much ever since. I was fortunate enough to spend most of my weekend with William and Kate at their rehearsal dinner and then on their wedding day, so I’ve become quite familiar with their love […]

Ashley and Carlos are getting married this fall at a brand new venue for me (Wistella Farm) and I’m so flipping excited to shoot there! (New venues are always a favorite) So it’s only fitting that Ashley wanted to shoot her engagements somewhere new for me too – the West End of Winston Salem. I’ve […]

I’m not convinced that rain on a wedding day is such a bad thing… This weekend Zack and Becky were planning a beautiful, intimate ceremony outside their church, but the weather had other plans. It was not only rainy, but actually a little chilly too – so the ceremony was moved inside to the lobby. […]

This weekend was a special one… One of my close friends, Lauren, married her best friend, Shane! Lauren and I met about ten years ago (I seriously can’t believe it’s been that long) in college, and we’ve been good friends ever since. She was a tremendous help at my wedding with SOO many things (even […]
