Sam + Amber’s dating anniversary was coming up and it seemed as if all Sam’s plans were leading to this moment.

He planned a beautiful date night for just the two of them where they’d go for a walk in the Gardens near their home before ending the night at a downtown restaurant they love. A romantic yet not so out of the blue date night turned into one that changed their lives forever.

Sam called me and told me all about his love story with Amber and told me about his grand idea to ask her to be his wife!

I was all in.

After walking the entire gardens with a map, sam found the perfect spot where he wanted everything to go down.

He dropped me a pin to the secluded Hydrangea gardens deep inside the Memphis Botanic Gardens where he’d slowly lead Amber to, planning to pour out his heart and drop to one knee with a ring.

Sam thought of every detail. He sent me a Spotify playlist he and Amber had built together with songs that felt like their love. I hid a small speaker in a bush playing their playlist on loop with a Champagne bottle hidden as well. Sam also shared his location with me so we’d be right on queue to pull this off in the perfect timing.

Hand in hand, Sam snuck Amber around the corner and lead her to her favorite flowers the hydrangeas. He began telling her how much she means to him slowly getting down on one knee. Behind a tree, I snapped away as the tears fell (we were all crying okay) and let these two have their moment for as long as they wished before Sam broke that 4th wall and pointed out my hiding spot. Proposals will always be my number one.

A Dixon Gallery & Gardens summer engagement proposal between Jackson and the love of his life Gabby! Jackson and Gabby traveled all the way from Florida to celebrate the wedding of two of their dear friends while Jackson was planning the most romantic dating anniversary date night for his gardening loving girlfriend Gabby.

Jackson lead Gabby through the gardens taking her to a private little trellis covered in flowers where he had a playlist of music playing softly of songs they both love. She said yes and so many tears and laughs were shared!

I hid behind a tree with tears of my own per usual!

If you're proposing and need a hidden photographer call me the answer is yes.

Documented for the Brooks Museum of Art a few weeks back to celebrate their Garden Party for ART NOW. This silly rain moved us inside but did not take away from a good time spent seeing Khara Wood's beautiful work planned, now at the Brooks along with all that ART NOW does for the artist community in Memphis.

Love love love documenting events in Memphis. Feels so close to home and always ties into past friendships in the wildest ways.

I will always always jump at the opportunity to document photos for LEO Events! Their client for this event was The Kresge Foundation. I took the deep dive into all they do for growing cities and could barely believe the depths of growth this foundation enhances.

Memphis city leaders joined forces with NOLA city leaders to sharpen another by sharing huge ideas, their dual success in city growth, and helping each other learn from past mistakes/successes. I could write a book about what I learned just by observing this contagious group of passionate souls but hey. Here's what I saw instead.

Very first time documenting for work in California and I sure hope it won't be the last time:')

Wandered Torrey Pines State Park with two of my best photographer gals as we took turns documenting engagement photos for the sweetest most hilarious TN/NC couple who have made California their home.

Jim Holt retired from Memphis in May last January after more than 25 years of service putting on incredible historical events for our city. His legacy was honored in front of hundreds during the most beautiful tribute at The Peabody Memphis + evening at Rum Boogie Cafe

Event work is one of my absolute favorite aspects of my job.
Cherishing the time spent with Memphis in May and missing it more than anything.
