Leanne and Brian became husband and wife at the gorgeous Hachland Hill in Nashville, Tennessee! It’s a bed and breakfast meets venue meets gourmet farm-to-table dinner! Hachland Hill not only has a vineyard, but also an amazing on-site chef, two beautiful inns, and an amazing tobacco barn with a patio for the reception. Spring was really showing off this weekend, as plenty of trees and plants had bloomed, giving us the perfect color for their day.

Emma and Justin got married at a beautiful, historic, and coastal home in Southern Maryland-- Woodlawn Estate. It’s nestled off of the Potomac River, right where it meets the Chesapeake Bay, in the southern tip of the state. I loved traveling back to my home state to capture their beautiful fall wedding day and celebrate with them! Their waterfront ceremony was truly a special day that I'll never forget!

These two had the sweetest and most perfect Sunday wedding in September. Taylor is in the military so they had to work with his schedule to pick their date. It was a warm day with a light breeze— my favorite! We started the day with a sweet first look by the creek and a few portraits, then made our way to their creekside ceremony. Callie and Taylor invited their closest family and friends, which made for it to be such an intimate celebration!

Shay and David became husband and wife at one of East Tennessee’s most unique venues— The Millstone! The Millstone is an old grist flour mill that has been transformed into a stunning wedding venue. The reception space is enclosed by repurposed glass windows, too, giving it a rustic, almost greenhouse, feel! David and Shay celebrated with their family, friends, and ring bearer golden retriever, Murphy, who most definitely stole the show! Talk about the most perfect Tennessee wedding day!

Morgan and Clint's wedding day at The Lake House was nothing short of breathtaking!

We lucked out with such a mild, Fall day-- it was sunny, with a slight breeze, and a touch of fall foliage! The sun drenched everything and made it so beautiful and golden! These two had previously told me that they both had fond memories of visiting the lake with their friends and family and that's part of the reason why they decided to have their ceremony lakeside! After exchanging vows and rings, and officially becoming husband and wife, Morgan and Clint exited their ceremony with confetti poppers! We then spent the golden afternoon taking portraits by the lake and headed to the reception. Morgan and Clint danced with their guests on the outdoor patio while the sun set over the lake!

Goodbye, 2022…

Wow, guys! It’s been an incredible year, to say the least, and I can’t believe a new one is just around the corner!

At the end of every year, I tend to get a bit sentimental and emotional looking back and thinking of all of the amazing things accomplished, places traveled to, new people met, and memories made. This year was no exception! 2022 has been a bit of a rollercoaster— definitely been one of the busiest but also most rewarding years in my business yet. All in all, I’m just so incredibly grateful.

Bridal sessions have quickly become one of my favorite types of sessions that I offer! I absolutely love that my brides get to dress up in their dresses, test out their wedding day makeup and hairstyles, and we get to create some beautiful portraits! When Morgan asked me if we could do a bridal session prior to her wedding day at her venue, The Lake House, I of course jumped at the opportunity! I was so excited to see what style of dress Morgan had chosen and to finally see their gorgeous venue!

Emily and Christian's wedding day was nothing short of beautiful.

These two became husband and wife on the most perfect September day-- it was partly sunny and in the 70s with a breeze that reminded us that Fall is just around the corner. When I first arrived at the Waterstone venue, I saw both Emily and Christian while they were getting ready and asked how they were. They both responded with the biggest smiles and said, "Getting a little nervous, but excited!"

Happiness just radiated between these two and their families throughout the day. We were all in tears watching Emily read Christian's letter and then again when he first saw her walk down the aisle. It's obvious from their smiles just how much these two love and adore each other.

These two became husband and wife amongst friends, family, and the Blue Ridge Mountains on a beautiful summer night. Everyone traveled to a breathtaking outdoor chapel that sits high on top of a mountain on the NC/SC border, called The Pretty Place. I can tell you right now, that the name says it all.

When I arrived at the chapel, there was a breeze that greeted us as storms loomed in the distance! We really lucked out with going through all of the day's events without a few drops of rain, but as soon as Holly and Mason exited through the sparklers and we all packed up, the skies burst open as we all traveled home!

Morgan and Meg were originally supposed to get married in the winter, but due to Covid, they decided to reschedule their wedding for May. I know that rescheduling was so tough on everyone, but honestly, I am SO glad that they decided to wait. Sunshine just showered down on us the entire day at Sugar Hollow Retreat— everything was green and had finally bloomed. Truly, the mountains were truly showing off for them!
