Katie + Thy = NYC Engagement Session

Katie and I went to high school together in South Africa, so I couldn’t have been more exited to get a message from her when she got engaged. We went to an international school so when our class graduation people went all over the world. Katie eventually ended up in NYC where she met Thy. They are getting married in Austin, Texas next year but we did their engagement session in NYC. This was my first time shooting in NYC and I absolutely loved it. It definitely has a different vibe than shooting in the open fields of Tennessee, but I loved the busyness of the city and all the gorgeous architecture. I had so much fun exploring Central Park and the city with these two and can’t wait for the wedding next year.

Emily + Garrett = Cedar Hall in Memphis TN

I’m always a little bummed when I get to shoot at a beautiful venue at it rains all day. I’ve never been more thankful for a covered front porch in my entire life. Luckily, Cedar Hall has a great one. Even though it rained the entire day it didn’t stop Emily and Garrett from having the time of their lives at their incredibly fun and beautiful wedding. Emily looked absolutely stunning and it was obvious that Garrett agreed after seeing his reaction at their first look. I love that they decided to take a moment to exchange the letters they wrote for each other before the wedding day kicked into high gear. There is something about rainy wedding days that makes everyone hunker down and party hard. It was so fun to watch these two wonderful people get to celebrate with their closest family and friends.

Shannon + Frashier = St. Henry's Catholic Church Wedding in Franklin, TN

Shannon and Frashier are such a fun couple and couldn’t be more perfect for one another. The day started great when I was mistaken for a groomsmen who was delivering an item to a bridesmaid at the house where they were getting ready and I was greeted with ‘boobs?’. After shooting over 400 weddings this was still a first for me. The day only got better and more fun from there. Shannon and Frashier had their ceremony at St. Phillips Catholic Church in downtown Franklin, Tennessee followed by a ridiculously fun reception at their friends private farm. The entire day was full of laughter. It’s so fun to see couples who have invested into the people around them, and to see all those people surround them and share that love right back at them on one amazing day. Congrats you guys and thank you so much for having me along for the ride.

Deena + Chaz = Tennessee Engagement Session

When we were discussing locations for Deena and Chaz’s engagement session they happened to mention that they have a farm that has been in their family for generations. I always love using locations that have significance to the couple, but I absolutely love it when the location is as gorgeous as this one. I had so much fun getting to hang out with these two awesome people and can’t wait for the wedding!

Ashley and Bryan = Nashville Engagement Session

I had so much fun getting to spend the afternoon with Ashley and Bryan for their engagement session. They definitely know how to make my job easy…being beautiful and totally in love. We started the session at The Hermitage Hotel where they are getting married next year and then headed over to a park where they spend. a lot of time with their furry friend. It was such a great day and I can’t wait for the wedding.
