The Brueggemanns 💎✨🩷🦋

I don’t think I’ve ever met a more kind bride, or a hotter wedding day. Getting married on a June Tennessee wedding day is not for the weak, so it helped that these two were TROOPERS.

Morgan took it upon herself to always make sure I was okay, cool, and hydrated which really made me feel like I was important and appreciated. This was just an example of her Tennessee charm and hospitality, that girl is one of a kind. She’d make a rhino smile (and yes, she had a quirky southern saying for everything, I could listen to her talk all day!) And Patrick? Infatuated with her. From the moment they did their first look, until they walked off from their last dance, he didn’t look away from her for more than 3.8 seconds. I swear. So cute.

Yes, it was hot. But more importantly, the day was full of love. AND I SWEAR, you can’t even tell how sweaty we all were, RIGHT??!!?? Anyway, these two made a 10 hour day feel like 2, and made 90º feel 20º cooler with their love, light and laughter.

Okay, real talk for a second—

Styled shoots are not real weddings. Not even a little.
No stress, no timelines falling apart, no aunt asking where the bathroom is every five minutes.

It’s just a group of creatives getting together to make something cool on purpose.

But here’s the thing—this still matters for you as a client.

Because what you’re actually seeing in these photos isn’t just “pretty.” You’re seeing how I work.

Even if the couple in front of my camera are models, they’re not just magically doing all of that on their own. I’m guiding them the whole time—telling them what to do with their hands, how to move, giving little prompts, making them laugh, getting them out of their heads.

That “omg this looks so natural” feeling?
Yeah… that doesn’t just happen. I pull that out of people.

HAPPY MARRIAGE MONDAY EVERYONE. I am pleased to present, these two wonderful little ladybugs. Here’s some mush for you: Some days you walk away from a wedding knowing you witnessed something truly special — and this was one of those days. 🤍
From the warm glow of oak barrels at Thornton Distillery to the golden afternoon light outside, every moment with this couple felt effortless and full of joy.

Days like this don't happen without an incredible team behind them. I am so grateful to every vendor who poured their heart into making this wedding as beautiful as it felt. To the couple — thank you for trusting me to tell your story. It was an absolute honor. 🥂

Y’all (I say ya’ll now since I’m in the south-ish). BUT YA’LL. HAILEY. she came, she wore the fur, she brought the red roses, and she absolutely did not come to play (okay, maybe a little). She sent me a vibe and she showed up for it. Don’t worry, the fur is fake. She’s an animal/earthy girly like me

I started posing her, and Hailey said "say less" (not literally but you get the ‘PICTURE’) and then proceeded to be one of the most gorgeous, dramatic, editorial humans I've ever had in front of my camera.

So this is NOT my usual vibe and I am FULLY obsessed with how it turned out?? Hailey walked in and immediately became a whole entire editorial. fur coat, red bottom heels, a bouquet of roses, and a look that could stop traffic — she did ALL of that effortlessly. Hailey you are a phenomenon and I am so lucky I get to point a camera at you 🖤🌹

THESE TWO. Actual soulmates. No question.

They showed up ready—outfits, props, energy… AND CONNECTION. Their chemistry was out of this world, which just makes my job so much easier.

And yes, Megan Benjamin probably texted me 200 times about outfits beforehand—but honestly? I LOVE THAT. When you care that much, it always shows. The intention, the excitement, the trust in the process—it all comes through in the photos. (And choosing the right photographer to vibe with)

Megan and Jaquan just radiate something real. The way they love each other is effortless and loud in the quietest ways. They’re kind, funny, grounded, and the kind of people you leave feeling better for having met.

This session felt easy. Natural. Like everything just clicked.
My only complaint? I’m not the one photographing their wedding this month (already booked up but so excited to see their wedding photos!)

Huge congratulations to you both—I’m genuinely so grateful our paths crossed. 🖤🤍🩷

It's Thirsty Thursday!! Think we're too old for that?!? We'll we are!!! But I was really thirsty during Sarah and Lyle's wedding cause it was pretty hot that day. It still counts.

I HATE HOW PERFECT THIS WEDDING WAS. Like, a backyard wedding on a family compound SHOULD NOT be this magical, right? But it was. And here's the funny thing...there were a lot of imperfections. Bridesmaids spilled on dresses, groom was right in the sun during the ceremony, mosquitos were biting up a storm during bridal party & bridals, family photos were stressful. BUT HERE'S THE KICKER. It was still perfect. Those little "imperfections" are minor, and long forgotten when it comes to forever (okay that was cheesy but at least this wasn't written with AI).

Also, fun alert – bury a bottle of whiskey! Burying a bottle of bourbon (or whiskey) is a Southern tradition meant to ensure good weather on a wedding day, often done by burying an unopened bottle upside down at the venue exactly one month before the wedding. The couple digs it up and drinks away (like Sarah did immediately) 🤣

It's MARRIAGE MONDAY! Yippie!

Let's celebrate with the two brightest, kindest, and warm souls I've had the pleasure of photographing. Phew, these two. From the moment I met them, their chemistry and love was BEAMING. Engaged pretty fast, but it all made sense for them. The 2 beautiful puzzle pieces, making this world a little more beautiful with their kindness. Congrats you two – so many well wishes ✨
