I wasn’t initially going to do a year-end round up this year - not for lack of content or cool couples - but because I have been utterly *tuckered out* after one of the most hectic past few months of my life.

However, as I started scrolling through some of my sneak peek galleries, I realized just how rad the year was. We worked with 70+ couples and families in 2025 - a new record for LRP! We shot weddings and sessions in 4 different states, with clients traveling from 7 different countries. I shot about 50 rolls of film!

On a personal note, I visited 8 national parks (3 new to me - Capitol Reef, Saguaro, and Acadia), 1 new country (Costa Rica), and got to celebrate turning 40 twice with so many of my closest friends.

I also got to see Blink-182 twice, took Elsie to see her favorite singer (Alex G), and went to When We Were Young with a couple of my besties.

We got to take big family vacations with both sides of our family, had a very scary bear encounter and narrowly avoided a run-in with a mountain lion (on different trips!), hiked in the dark on multiple occasions, photographed the Milky Way, and saw the Northern Lights.

Over the next couple days, I’ll post a mix of work and personal faves. It was a really good year, and it’s made me really happy to look back on it. First up - highlights from 20 different weddings, elopements, and sessions 🫶 IG only lets me tag 20 accounts, so I’m sorry if I missed you! Shoutout to and for the assists on some of these!

Huge life update! We are moving back to Georgia. This has been in the works for a while, but it’s finally happening and we are on the road as I type this caption. Scroll all the way through for more details. Atlanta - see y’all soon! 🍑

Vegas, we miss you already, but don’t worry - I’ll be back and forth for weddings and shoots. We will see you in 2026!

Anyone else feel like all this rain in the desert lately has been a nice change of pace? I know it’s not what Danielle and Danny envisioned for their ceremony at Red Rock, especially because it’s a place they hold near and dear to them, but they adapted beautifully and we ended up with photos that were pretty spectacular (if I do say so myself)! If desert dwellers in nature can adapt to thrive, so can we 🫶 some of my favorite photos of all time have been shot in the rain, so be like Danielle and Danny and lean into the storm.

Moab is a really special place to Lexi and Adam. They got engaged there last summer on a hike in Arches National Park, so they decided to come back for a second visit and make it official! After months of planning, they landed on a ceremony at Dead Horse Point, bookended by pre-ceremony and post-dinner photos in Arches. So grateful to them and their 4 kiddos for welcoming us into their day and their celebration with open hearts and arms - we left Moab feeling like family and knowing that we just witnessed something really, really special.

Big shout out to and for assisting and handling video content! Can’t wait to share more ❤️ Also, crafted a gorgeous ceremony, and we absolutely loved working with her officiating!

Stoked to share a few photos from the day we hung out with Dolly & Drew ❤️‍🔥 featuring one of my favorite flat-lays of all time, a first look and private vows at the Neon Museum, and a juggling groom (plus, an absolutely perfect bouquet from Lucid Juliet - I am still obsessing over it).

A flawless Vegas day.

Shout out to Connor ( for second shooting this one!

Cece & Tom got married at Sure Thing this summer, surrounded by nothing but good vibes, Lady Elvis, matching tattoos, the Hump Day bike riders (👀 slide 9 for a bike cameo), and the cutest little reception at Atomic Liquors. We had the best best best time!

Major shoutout to Heather for second shooting this one with me!

Earlier this year, I shot a gorgeous backyard wedding here in town, but my couple still wanted desert vibes, so we took them out to Nelson and the Dry Lake Bed before their ceremony. It was the best of both worlds - secluded, elopement-style photos while still getting a family-centric wedding!

Big shoutout to my buddy Connor ( ) for second shooting this one with me!

Right in the middle of an epic National Park road trip, Hannah and Liam took a day to elope in Valley of Fire. We planned everything out together flawlessly… until their rental car died in the hotel parking garage 😅 I am, thankfully, a person with a backup plan and am good in a crisis, so I swung by the hotel to pick them up and we made it to the ceremony with a little time to spare! It was honestly such a bonus, because I loved getting to hang out and talk with them longer than I would have gotten to otherwise.

created the most beautiful ceremony for them at Seven Sisters, while Hannah put on a playlist of random songs (“let’s just see what comes up!”) resulting in Jimmy Buffett during their vows, and Liam topped everything off with some very… real… very… candid… relationship anecdotes that left us all in tears laughing. It was truly an incredible day.

Aubrey Appreciation Day 2025 is here! 🫶Y’all all know how crazy I am about this guy, but he’s so rarely in the spotlight (which is what he prefers anyway). I always like to shout him out on Father’s Day, because he is an incredible dad, and I am really grateful to get to parent alongside him. I don’t know many other dads who would entertain their tween’s friends telling ghost stories for hours. Everyone who meets him loves him. He’s the best partner, my favorite person to go to concerts with, Fortnite duo of my dreams. Thanks for taking care of us, Aubs. Your girls (and Freddie) love you ❤️

Joshua Tree sessions never, ever, ever get old! Stephanie and Kyle got married near their home in Rome, GA (fellow Georgians 🥹), and met up with me and Ashleigh in the park a few days later for some elopement-inspired desert photos on their honeymoon. They’re the sweetest couple, and we loved every second of our time with them! What a perfect way to spend your honeymoon - making new friends, hanging out stargazing, and getting some super rad photos out of it.
