Ashley and Wythe met the “old fashioned” way – they immediately hit it off over drinks at a bar. Their love is a quiet, gentle love…and Wythe proposed during one of their favorite weekly traditions: making a homemade meal together. This particular night, they were cooking “comfort food” – and they now lovingly refer to […]
We had big, beautiful plans for Megan and Tanner’s engagement session…until a WIND STORM forced us to reschedule. They were only in town for a short period of time, so we had a tiny window to make their photos happen…and we couldn’t do it. The wind gusts were over 50mph and knocked power lines down […]
I remember my first meeting with Anna in a coffee shop in downtown Fredericksburg. She told me all about her wedding day plans, how she met Chris and how excited she was for the big day. Then, last year, I met her sweet momma (who is an AMAZING florist!!) while working a wedding together. I’ve […]
It’s officially wedding season!!!! Cue the confetti!!

Last week I shared a RECAP of this month’s Hope Taylor Workshop. Today I am sharing the styled shoot images from day one and I’ve been DYING to get these on the blog for you! I was going to say that these were “highly anticipated”…but maybe I’m the only one who is that obsessed with […]
Just in case you weren’t around last week, I want to give you a recap! Each year, I share the BEST images I captured in three different categories: seniors, engagements and weddings. Earlier this month, I blogged my BEST OF SENIORS 2017 and last week I shared the BEST OF ENGAGEMENTS 2017. Today, it’s the grande finale […]
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 […]
