ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
As we were getting ready to leave the bridal suite to head up to the first look, a lot was going on. Last minute touches were being put on bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, friends and family members were coming and going with decor and details, bouquets were being passed out, the weather forecast was being...
Are you ready? This is always my largest blog post of the whole entire year! Ahhhh weddings. My favorite thing to photograph.And my 2022 weddings were epic. 2020 weddings were obviously different – so many restrictions and hoops to jump through, but nothing could take away my couples’ fierce determination to get married and make the...
This is my TENTH annual “behind the scenes” blog post… I’m pausing to let that sink in.TEN.I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry at that statement. (Am I really that old? Have I really been doing this that long? How did I ever get so lucky to do wedding photography as my job?)(For...
While Tory and I were talking through the logistics of her and Cory’s wedding, she said, “I have a question for you.” From our initial conversation over a year ago, I knew that Tory had horses and that they were a huge part of her life. And not just her life, but Cory’s life too,...

[…] My first wedding of the season was last Saturday. It was wonderful, but it rained (at certain portions of the day it downright poured). Rain on a wedding day is obviously never anyone’s first choice, but if you’re going to have rain – we sure hit the jackpot with it on Saturday! It rained while everyone was getting ready, and then we had just enough of a window of time to get in the First Look and bridal party portraits. Then it poured down rain during the ceremony and cocktail hour (but since April and Bobby did a First Look, it didn’t matter!) and by the end of dinner, the clouds rolled away and the sun actually came out! It was glorious! And that meant everyone could dance outside on the outdoor dance floor at Oak Lodge. Rain is never fun, but when it rains during all the “right” moments – it’s just fine. (See the highlights of April and Bobby’s day HERE!) […]

That way, as soon as their wedding photos were delivered, we jumped straight into the album-design-process! Within just a few weeks, I was meeting up with them and handing off these beautiful, custom-designed, heirloom albums (they had one made for April’s parents too – but I’ll talk more about that later!)
