The gardens at Whitehall Mansion are one of the loveliest wedding venues in Louisville and I’m so honored to have captured Jared & Caroline’s wedding day there last June. Happy anniversary, you two! From the moment I talked with Caroline, her personality shined right through the phone. She is so kind, vibrant, and makes you […]
Neil & Kaylee: A Richwood on the River outdoor wedding Louisville KY None of us knew what 2020 would bring. For Neil & Kaylee, they got engaged and planned for a beautiful 2020 May wedding. Unfortunately, circumstances forced them to postpone to June, but oh my what the perfect day it was. A Richwood on the […]
Hello blogging world! I am back! I’ve taken a few years off to have babies (yes, multiple babies if you didn’t know!), but that’s a whole other blog post. This post is all about Tanner & Celeste and their incredible colorful Churchill Downs wedding day. I see so much of myself and my husband Matt […]
The Gardencourt was the perfect spot for their #Brunetsoi·rée with its incredible architecture, lovely gardens, and old world charm. The history geek in me loves all the historical/vintage venues. Kathryn’s dress literally made me giddy and the fact that she was ecstatic to just twirl and enjoy her dress makes her my kind of gal! Peter gave his groomsmen custom engraved pocket watches, which is one of the neatest groomsmen gifts I’ve seen. The flowers were perfect, the food was tasty, the weather was awesome, and the dancing was on point!
Jon & Amanda have an enchantingly kind quality about them that just poured over into every aspect of their wedding day: the stunning old mansion, lovely flowers, family-filled wedding party, personal touches, and sweet, sweet interactions. It was just a wonderful day that I know I won’t forget anytime soon!

“I can’t believe this is all happening. Everything is exactly how I imagined it would be.” Those were Kelley’s exact words as she arrived at Elkington. That is exactly how every bride should feel! According to Kelley’s bridesmaids, they said that she had been planning for this day since high school. But that the day […]

Growing up in southwest Virginia meant that I didn’t visit Richmond often. If I did, it was on a school trip with very specific stops preplanned for me. I never really thought much of the city. It’s our state’s capitol and way more of a city then what I was ever used to. But that […]

Photography is a unique business in that it is both a service and an art. And because of those two elements, it can be hard balancing customer service and artistic vision. That’s why after couples inquire about my services, I’m looking for someone who has looked through my portfolio and likes what they see and […]

This wedding was so special to me. As I wrote in their engagement session post, George and I go all the way back to high school, but we also both went to Virginia Tech where we became better friends. So much so that George felt like an older brother. At George & Caitlin’s engagement session, I […]

It feels like it’s been raining here in Virginia for weeks. Days pass by where the sun was no where to be found. The ground has been saturated with water and every where you step there’s a big patch of mud. I prayed the whole weekend that the sun would soon shine again! And wouldn’t […]

I left before dark and started my trip to Peaks of Otter. I saw the sun rise and poke through the overcast sky in places as I drove. It gave me a bit of hope: maybe the sun will shine today. But as I ascended in elevation up the mountain, the clouds seemed to multiply […]

Ohhh you guys. You guys. I have been excitedly anticipating this wedding since I met with Sarah back in early 2015. That coupled with the excitement of my first wedding of the year just sent this one out of the park. It was GORGEOUS. We had an incredible day. The sun was shining, flowers blooming, […]

season has started off gradually… one engagement session here, one engagement there, all until the madness of the end of April and June officially begins! But I have been loving slowly getting back into the swing of photography. Ben & Hannah are dear friends of ours. We love them and their family and I was […]

Living in southeastern Virginia, I don’t visit DC often. But when I get the chance to photograph an awesome couple during the cherry blossom peak, I am all for it! These cherry blossoms are the perfect backdrop for any photo, but especially for some romantic engagements! We were at the Tidal Basin with about a […]

It all started on a snowy day 2 years ago. Two guys were locked out of their apartment. Seeking warmth while they waited for a replacement key to arrive, they knocked on a door. Two women answered; they offered a warm place to wait, good conversation, and dinner. It was then that these two met and […]

If you remember from what I wrote for their engagement session, John & Katy aren’t just clients, they are dear, dear friends. Katy and I have known each other and been friends our whole lives. We were less than a year old when our paths crossed and we’ve been friends ever since! Katy is such […]

As a wedding photographer, you look forward to all your weddings, but then sometimes there are a few which are slightly more anticipated. Drew & Jordan’s wedding was that for me! Drew & Jordan are two of the sweetest, most Godly people I’ve had the opportunity to photograph. Their love for each other and the […]
