The first day of the Hope Taylor Workshop last week (actually, the entire week, to be specific) was forecast to be 90% chance of heavy rain and storms. I prayed and prayed and prayed for a break in the rain just long enough to photograph the wedding day styled shoot…and the rain somehow COMPLETELY disappeared from […]
For the last few months, I have been keeping a secret behind-the-scenes with Caroline. Remy, one of my sweet brides, was having a SURPRISE bridal shower thrown by her sweet momma and I was going to be there to photograph it ALL. (You may remember Remy from her beautiful OBX engagement session, because she is […]

I first met Katie at a shoot she booked with me over two years ago. I still remember loving her adorable personality and bubbly energy from the very beginning!! Then, Katie attended a one-on-one mentoring session with me and we became closer friends. Because she’s a wedding photographer, too, we always ran into each other […]
When I get an inquiry for a wedding and I love the couple…it makes me so excited for their big day. But when I love the couple AND their team of vendors…it makes it even better!!! That was the case for Allie + Ashton’s wedding day. I just adore Allie and she is SO sweet […]
I had never photographed at Virginia Cliffe Inn before, so I had no idea what to expect when I arrived on Anna and Caleb’s wedding day. But when I saw the beautiful home on the property…I was blown away!!! It has such a southern vibe and it made my heart so happy! We had the […]
