If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me share that I am slowly phasing out of photographing weddings in 2024. It is so bittersweet! But, I have taken on a handful of amazing […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me share that I am slowly phasing out of photographing weddings in 2024. It is so bittersweet! But, I have taken on a handful of amazing […]

This engagement session was SO special to me! Not only was it my first time EVER on St. Simons Island…but it was for two dear friends of mine, Olivia and Curt. I have known Olivia since high school, and have photographed her SO many times in the last 10 years: senior portraits, family portraits, workshops, […]

It has been a long time since I shared an engagement session on the blog…and even longer since I loved a shoot THIS much!! Jordan and Katrina’s engagement session took place on Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC. These two both live in Colorado, so they traveled a LONG way to be here…and they’ll do the […]

I photographed Maddie’s sister’s senior portraits last year, and apparently Maddie told Austin I was the ONLY one allowed to photograph their proposal […]

Oh my goodness, where do I begin with these two!? Sydney and Michael’s sunrise engagement session in downtown Charleston was a dream from start to finish. I had been looking forward to this shoot for MONTHS! Sydney and Michael first inquired with me because they are getting married at the same wedding venue as us: […]

I have been DYING to share these photos, and it’s with good reason!!! I had the privilege of capturing Juan and Regan’s beautiful proposal at the Westin Savannah Harbor over the weekend. Quite a few months ago, my friend Kayla from high school reached out to me about photographing her friend Juan’s proposal. She told […]

The busy fall season is kicking in…and an engagement session in downtown Savannah feels like the perfect way to kick things off! MK and Chad are such a special couple. MK was in my mastermind coaching program last year, so I got to spend 6 months learning about her and her incredible photography business. When […]

This may be one of the longer engagement session posts I’ve ever shared…because I just have SO many favorites from this Savannah session!!! But first, some back story on why I absolutely love this couple 🙂 Henry is one of Hayden’s close friends that I met for the first time on NYE last year. They […]
