I still remember her initial inquiry making me SO excited…she was one of the FIRST photographers that […]
When I first received Aubree’s inquiry about being her wedding photographer, she was so stinking sweet! I could tell we were going to hit it off from the very beginning – which is always one of the best feelings. Aubree is a photographer herself, so she knew exactly what she was looking for in a […]
I walked into the getting ready space on the morning of Ali and Josh’s wedding and it looked like it was built by Lilly Pulitzer herself. The walls were covered in bright, fun patterns and every detail was the perfect preppy touch! The bridesmaids were wearing floral robes and listening to the best getting ready […]
