This is my LAST wedding of 2017!!! WHAT!? How does time fly so quickly? I can’t BELIEVE it. But, if I had to choose a wedding to end out 2017 on the BEST note, it would’ve been Annie and Paul’s! I absolutely love Shadow Creek (and I photographed my last wedding of 2016 here, too!) and […]
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the day Iris’s wedding inquiry came in. She told me that she was a photographer who had followed my work for years. She said they already knew they wanted me as their photographer in Key West (!!!) and to just let them know what they needed to do to make […]
I really just can’t say enough good things about these two. I love Meagan and Justin!!! When I got to meet with Meagan to talk about planning the big day, we ended up talking for way longer than originally planned! I knew Meagan from working at one of my favorite downtown boutiques. I was so honored […]
Anne and Eric are such a classic and elegant couple. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Anne and her sweet momma through the planning process (and her gorgeous bridal portraits), and LOVED spending the day with the rest of her sweet family and her amazing HUSBAND last weekend! They tied the knot at […]

Even though it was over 80 degrees, Allysa and Nathan’s wedding felt like my first “real” fall wedding of the year!! The beautiful berry tones and navy dresses combined with the changing leaves made it fall-lovers dream come true. I first met Allysa at my studio last year for our consultation. She told me all […]
From the moment Kelley inquired and told me all about her Southern inspired wedding dreams to her engagement session in downtown Wilmington all the way until the big day last weekend…I’ve been excited about this wedding the entire year! Perry also proposed in Charleston after a dinner at my all-time favorite restaurant (Magnolia’s!!), so I’d say […]
Kimberly and Marlon are such a sweet couple. I met them at my studio last year to chat about their big day, and I also got to spend time with Kimberly’s family at her bridal session just a few months ago! I LOVED spending time with them and I just knew that their wedding day […]
