Chris and Emily’s trip to Nashville started with a sunrise walk along the lake and a surprise proposal 💍

I don’t post them often, but I photograph at least a few proposals every month, and I genuinely never get tired of it. Each one is so different and so exciting, and I love being able to share some expertise with people planning such a special moment! For this proposal last week, we’d been planning the details through email and FaceTime across a 6 hour time zone difference, and it came together perfectly, as they always do. The heat was intense (I’m sure especially so being from England), but it gave us the park pretty much to ourselves and will surely be a morning to remember forever. 💕

What an honor to photograph such intimate moments. And I’m still impressed Emily had no idea. Congratulations to you two! ✨

A few very fun maternity photos for my very fun friends!

I brought my favorite plastic camera to capture the last month of Katie and Tim’s family of two (or five, can’t leave out the cats or the dog). “Shooting film” has become a sort of catch-all, but there’s so much personality within the medium. Elegant cameras worth thousands, or this plastic Chinese toy camera worth about $30. They all have a place in my rotation, and this set reminded me why I love this little guy so much. Weird light leaks and so much character. A little more down to earth perhaps.

All this to say, maternity photo sessions definitely don’t have to be boring ☀️

Some scenes and stills from a rainy summer wedding day on 16mm film 🎥

Not every wedding day is sunny and bright. Many of our portfolios as wedding photographers and filmmakers show only the perfect weather days, but that’s not how it works. You may have rain, you may have sun, we may be outside or have to move into a tent. One of the most valuable skills for a wedding professional is adaptability. I know my gear, I know what can brave a little rain and what can’t, I know which films to use in all lighting scenarios and how it will look under the tent versus out in the open.

Whatever your wedding day brings, it will be what you make it. And on this day, it was absolutely perfect.

Capturing the essence of a wedding day in a photo gallery means spending a lot of time photographing your people.

Their laughter, their tears, the pure joy on the dance floor.

I know (most) everyone you’ve invited to your wedding is important to you, so they are important to me too.

A big part of wedding planning is creating the timeline. Your planner will work with you on this, as will I, but in the end it’s really up to you! One of the questions I hear the most is about timing your couples portraits.

So how much time do you need for couples portraits?

This depends on a few things:

Do you want to go somewhere specific, like a coffee shop you love or a park?
Do you want a wide variety of poses or just one or two posed photos for the family?

More time gives us some time to relax!
You can talk, bring a drink along, settle into the mini session. To me this is 30 minute to an hour. In such a fast paced day, I do love a bit of a break. This was a part of my own wedding that I cherish.

A quick session gives you more time with guests! 
This works perfectly fine for couples who prioritize candids.

The sweet spot? Talk to your photographer about it. I find the 20-30 minute range is plenty if we’re staying nearby, but more is almost always better in my opinion.

What do you think?

A moment for the bakers 😘

The last few years I’ve seen more creative cakes and desserts at weddings, and I’m obsessed with them.

Baking is an absolute art form!! And there is an artist for everyone. My partner and I went for gluten free donut holes by a local pastry chef and they were so so so good. Had I known my new cake friends at the time, I would’ve probably gone for these fun vintage cakes, so now I will be celebrating every birthday with a gf 😍

Donut walls, cookie tables, vintage tiny cakes, gigantic elegant cakes, even a sheet cake from Publix. Whatever your wedding vibe is, your cake is a fun way to share it.

Need a baker? I have a list of vendors I love to work with!! 🤍😍🍰

I tagged as many as I had record of, several of these posts are a few years old!

Nashville, Denver, who am I missing
