Just reliving this peaceful foggy morning to try and distract myself from the chaos going on in our house right now.⁣

Trails have been extra crowded lately so we were pleasantly surprised when we got up here and we were the only people.⁣

The fog made everything glow as the sun came up. It was such a perfect morning!⁣

Mornings like this really make me wish I was more of a morning person!⁣

Are you a sunrise or sunset person?? @ Nashville, Tennessee

Does this sound familiar?

You are scrolling through Pinterest and see a beautiful picture of a couple laughing and loving on each other and you immediately wish you had a picture like that of you and your person.

BUT, you shrug it off and think they must be naturals in front of the camera because the only formal pictures you’ve ever had usually end up looking stiff and awkward.

I can’t count the number of times a couple has “warned” me that they are awkward in front of the camera. *Spoiler alert, that’s never actually true!!*

Taking pictures together often comes with this pressure to show this perfect, beautiful relationship. And let’s not even talk about that strange realization of where your hands are as soon as the camera is pointed at you.

Here’s the thing: love is messy.

But honestly, the messy bits of love are what make it so beautiful. Being vulnerable, being completely yourself is scary and can be really difficult, but it’s also pure magic.

The only thing y’all need to bring to the table is yourselves and the photos inevitably end up being magical.

Let’s celebrate and document your messy, vulnerable, and magical love story!

This time spent social distancing has really taught me to appreciate our beautiful Earth more! Keep an eye out for a blog post with more details, but in honor of Earth day, here are a few quick tips for planning a wedding with less waste:⁣

Number one tip: ELOPE!⁣

Probably one of the quickest ways to reduce waste is by making the intentional decision to have an intimate wedding or elopement. Fewer guests means less people to transport, less people to feed, less people to entertain, less people to send home with a favor, which all translates to less waste.⁣

Practically speaking, I know that not everyone wants a small wedding or elopement, so here are a few tips that you can use to reduce waste:⁣

1. Use wedding decor items that you actually want in your home⁣

2. Go paperless when possible and consider recycled paper products for any other stationary⁣

3. Support florists who use in season and local flowers (same goes for caterers- search for in season and local produce)⁣

4. Choose favors that people can actually use - something plantable or edible are always good options⁣

5. Consider having a honeymoon fund or donation fund to one of your favorite organizations instead of a traditional registry⁣

How did you reduce waste for your wedding?? Any tips for planning a wedding with less waste, comment below and let me know!!⁣

What exactly makes a wedding day PERFECT?

There is this myth about creating a PERFECT styled, Pinterest-worthy, wedding that leaves all your guests happy and outshines all the weddings you’ve ever been to. But all this myth really does is leave every couple feeling like their wedding day wasn't good enough.

It's not realistic and it's not attainable because PERFECT is completely relative.

You wanna know what really makes a wedding day PERFECT!?

It's all the spontaneous, last-minute changes that no one could have planned or prepared for, but leave you embracing the moment and clinging to each other. After all, a marriage isn't about the location, the dress, or any other details, it's about the people. It's about the incredible commitment that you are making with your person!

A great example of that, this incredible wedding with the sweetest couple.

This sweet backyard wedding with Hayley and Cole ended up looking A LOT different than they planned, but honestly, their day was perfect. We had amazing weather and gorgeous skies. They exchanged vows, shared laughs, and danced the night away.

It was one of the most beautiful and meaningful weddings I have ever witnessed because it was all about the love they share. They celebrated their love, made an incredible commitment together and will remember this day as the perfect day they became partners.

Now that's PERFECT!

Are you afraid of feeling or looking awkward in front of the camera?

I hear this all the time and, believe me, I’ve been behind the camera feeling awkward and it’s no fun! The last thing I want you to feel is awkward or uncomfortable.

My style is heavily focused on REAL moments. When you book a session with me it won’t be an afternoon of staged poses, stiff smiles or the dreaded prom pose. No, it will be more like a really fun date with your favorite third wheel tagging along to document all those sweet moments.

Making sure you have an amazing experience is my TOP priority. I will pour time into getting to know y’all before and during the session so that I can capture all those little things that make your love story unique.

Wanna grab coffee together before heading out to the location, let’s do it! Wanna have some drinks to help loosen up, let’s do it! Wanna DO something (go hiking, have a picnic, rent a boat, rent bikes, ride in a hot air ballon, or anything else that is meaningful to YOUR relationship), let’s do it!

When you are comfortable and free to be completely yourselves your photos end up holding so much more meaning. I’ll do the heavy lifting to make sure you have an incredible time and look amazing. You just enjoy the moment, be yourselves, trust me, and have fun!! This is where the magic happens, and we create it together!

I invest a lot of time into getting to know my couples and making sure their experience is incredible. For this reason, I only have limited spots available and those are filling up fast! Only taking on TWO more sessions for April. DM me or inquire through my website to snag one of those spots! @ Signal Mountain, Tennessee
