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! […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Today was an incredible day… Not only did I spend the day with one of our amazing couples, but I was able to photograph them at the most beautiful locations in this beautiful state I call home. The Vineyards at Betty’s Creek is truly one of the most unique and stunning places I’ve ever experienced. […]

I’m not entirely sure that it’s even fair to be able to photograph a couple this perfect at a location this incredibly beautiful! Seriously – after seeing these photos I promise you’re going to want to move to a big open field with old crooked oak trees and winding dirt roads!  So a little about […]
