Three ladies. Three dear friends. Three business built from the ground up. One dream shared between us.

Funny enough, around this time three years ago we had a goal of working more weddings together, but not only that, we dreamt up an Italian inspired editorial here in Tennessee. We had a big dream that maybe one day, together, we would get the opportunity to do a wedding in Italy.

Today, we’re on a flight to Italy seeing that dream unfold. We’re still in awe and processing the reality of our dream coming to fruition!

Keep dreaming friends. No matter how big the dream. He placed it on your heart for a reason, for a purpose. God has a really cool way of making them happen — all in His perfect timing.🤍

Being his Mama is my sweetest blessing and my most important work. Every season of motherhood humbles me and reminds me just how faithful God is. I look at my son and can’t help but thank the Lord for allowing me the honor of raising him, loving him, and pointing him back to Jesus.

I fall short daily. I make mistakes, lose patience, and constantly need God’s grace myself, yet my son still runs into my arms with love and trust. What a beautiful reminder of the way our Heavenly Father loves us. Not because we are perfect, but because we are His.

Children have a way of teaching us the Gospel in the simplest form: grace, forgiveness, wonder, and unconditional love. His love reminds me daily that our Heavenly Father does not ask us to earn His love through perfection. He simply asks us to come to Him with childlike faith.🩵

My husband, Ben, surprised me with this GIF to celebrate shooting my final wedding of 2025 😂
Homemade GIFs are one of his love languages, and honestly, I couldn’t love it more. He’s the best and supports me endlessly behind the scenes.

2025 has been a wildly wonderful year. It is never, ever lost on me what a joy and privilege it is to document my clients’ most meaningful moments. I truly love telling stories—through my lens, my perspective, and the art we create together.

The creative process is delicate, deeply personal, and so is every story I’m invited into. Thank you for trusting me with your memories and allowing me to walk alongside you in such sacred moments. I am forever grateful 🥹🩵

As I begin thoughtfully opening a limited number of dates ahead, I’m excited to connect with couples who value intention, artistry, and a deeply personal experience. My inquiry form is linked in my bio.🫶🏻 eastcoastweddingphotographer

Piece of advice from some well seasoned wedding professionals: if you can, do the destination wedding and/or engagement session. Trust us, just do it. It is SO worth it. Take your favorite vendors with you and go celebrate your love with your loved ones. Make it an experience you will never forget and tell your kids and grandkids for years to come. Your love and story is so worth celebrating in whatever way that looks like.

So go to Italy, jet across to Greece, say I Do on a mountain top or to the sound of crashing waves on Nantucket. Where you want to go, go. Your love is epic because it’s yours.🤍

Stepping away from the office for the rest of the week to slow down, savor family, and fill our home with good food and full hearts. Hospitality has always been one of my love languages. We’re welcoming my siblings (and little cousins and fur babies) around our table. It’s a perfect excuse to design a beautiful tablescape, dream up a cozy menu, and create something beautiful to gather around.

I am feeling so thankful for each of you who supports my business, believes in my work, my brand and my family in such a meaningful way. Every bride, every planner, every family cheering me on. Your support doesn’t just build a business, it blesses our home and the people I love most.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!!🦃🍁🤍

Flatlays are such a fun way to create and include special details of your wedding weekend. It’s all in the details.

Here are 3 tips we recommend to all our brides:

1. Keep in mind, it takes time to design flatlays. On average, it’s smart to build a solid hour or so into the timeline to create them.

2. Always ask your florist to include extra floral stems for the flatlays into your floral budget!

3. Include extra copies of your invitation suite for your photographer. It is so helpful to have extras on hand.
