October is almost here which means I’m almost back to being behind the camera! Maternity leave has been so special and sweet. Newborn snuggles are the BEST and I’m so thankful to the Lord for our newest little love! 👶🍼
I have to tell you guys the story behind these stunning pictures I’m posting! God was written ALL over this story and I’m just so overjoyed to share about it!
This couple is Emma and Ashden Turner. They booked me in the fall of 2025 for their September 6th, 2026 wedding. As you all know, I ended up finding out I was pregnant in winter of 2025 which put my due date very close to their wedding! I was obviously beyond overjoyed to be expecting another miracle but I also was panicked because I knew I couldn’t capture their wedding and I didn’t want to disappoint Emma and Ashden! I ended up emailing her to let her know the situation and that I could either refund her in full and she could seek out another photographer of her choice or she could stick with my business and I could send a photographer friend of mine and my designated second shooter to capture her wedding and then I could still edit the photos for her. Her response was beyond beautiful and so full of Jesus’s love, grace and understanding! It brought tears to my eyes! She was so kind and told me God knew this would happen as his plans are always perfect and so she decided she wanted to stick with my business! So what ended up happening is my incredible bestie Olivia Snider photography and videography shot the entire wedding along with my amazing momma/second shooter, Cheryl! And you guys… they KILLED IT!!!! Just look at these photos!!! 🔥📸 As I was editing and going through the photos, it literally felt like I was there! These ladies captured photos you can FEEL which is exactly what any great wedding photographer should do! I cannot thank them enough for stepping in to help me out. I also can’t thank Emma and Ashden enough for meeting me with so much kindness, love and grace and for trusting my team with their special day. They are such a sweet couple and from what I was told and from what I can see in these photos is that they love Jesus deeply!! What an honor to be apart of documenting such a beautiful Christ-centered marriage! ❤️💍📸 God is so good and his plans are indeed ALWAYS perfect!!!
