Jiayi and Yuchao Fearrington Film Wedding
Prior to their wedding, I had not yet met Jiayi and Yuchao; so I was so eager to get to their wedding day and get to know them. From the minute I walked in, I was blown away by their kindness. Meeting someone for the first time on their wedding day can be a little stressful and intimidating. You want to create a bond, considering you will be with them for one of the b[...]

I am so excited to finally get to share these images with you! This past weekend Sarah Beth and Cody were married at the beautiful Fearrington Village and it was nothing short of magical. However, back in June, Sarah Beth and I were able to go over to Fearrington and photograph her in her wedding gown. And as you will see below, she was stunning. It was such a tre[...]

Cassie and Brooks First Anniversary Session
If you know me at all, or have followed me on instagram for any length of time, you probably already know how much I love these two. A little over a year ago I had the privilege of photographing Cassie and Brooks' mountain top, vineyard wedding. It was so beautiful and such a sweet reflection of these two as a couple. What I didn't realize was that I would be not only[...]

Alicia and Rob White Sparrow Barn, TX Film Wedding
When we got an inquiry for a wedding at The White Sparrow Barn I was SO pumped. This venue has been on my bucket list for a little while, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph here. What I didn't know, was that The White Sparrow Barn would end up being the least amazing part of Alicia and Rob's wedding. From the very first email I received from these[...]

Rachael Pusateri Banner Elk, NC Film Bridal Session
This bride. She holds such a special place in my heart. Rachael and I grew up together at the same school and on the same cheer team! She was a few years ahead of me, so she was always the older, much cooler girl! Her mama happened to be our cheerleading coach and really helped shape my life, as well as, many other high school girls, on and off the cheer mat. Rachael [...]

Georgeanna and Lawrence's wedding was such a wonderful reflection of the two of them. Surrounded by all of their friends and family they celebrated their new marriage in a couple of different spots.

Alex and Carlos Duke Gardens Film Wedding
Alex and Carlos' wedding was such a beautiful combination of all of the things and cultures they love. Their tile place cards paid tribute to their heritage, while the harry potter quotes on their cocktail napkins were a fun way to incorporate their mutual love for the magical world they are such big fans of! Getting to know these two was so fun, because they are b[...]

Kate and Caleb Greenville, SC Film Engagement Session
There aren't quite enough words for me to tell you just how much these two mean to me. Two years ago Callie and I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in Blufton, SC and it was all things magical. We loved everyone at that wedding and have talked about it ever since. Then this year, the sister of the groom from our beautiful wedding two years ago, got engaged a[...]

Shelton and Keegan Charlotte Film Engagement Session
Shelton is one of my dearest friends. She was my Bible study leader, College Life leader, and neighbor in college! We have walked through countless seasons together, celebrated so many fun moments, and prayed through some difficult times. I remember very clearly when she first started bringing Keegan's name up; he was a Young Life leader in Georgia and they had met at[...]
