Melanie + Kyle tied the knot at over the weekend and it was what all my fall dreams are made of! The huge tree on the property was showing off, and the ceremony site had a beautiful covering of yellow leaves all around. Seriously, this venue was made for this season! And paired with this wonderful, easy going and joyful couple, (who have been together for ten years!!) what a perfect day to get to be a part of!

Happy one year to Gio + Darbi! I realized I never posted about this day, probably because I hadn’t posted much during this time last year as I had just had a baby. But it’s about dang time - so, I shot this lady’s wedding four weeks postpartum and it was a wild ride but absolutely zero regrets on that, it was soooo special to me. Loved every single moment of it. Truly. I’m so proud of Darbi and her desire to chase after God’s heart in her life. I may or may not have cried countless times throughout the entire day (but we’ll say that was from the postpartum hormones right?). Y’all. I used to be her youth leader + babysit her, what?! And now this little junior bridesmaid is all grown up, got married to a seriously sweet and kindhearted soul who completely adores her and Jesus, and sheesh - I’m so proud of the woman she is becoming. Love you and happy anniversary to you and . You guys are crushing it. 💕

It’s gallery delivery day for Carolyn + Ben 💌. I had so much fun exploring with them a few weeks ago and we had such lovely lighting and backdrop for their engagement session. So many stunning spots at this venue! 😍 And a special shoutout to Rae at for being our golf cart chauffeur and showing us around the many acres of this beautiful place!

Over Labor Day weekend I had the best time capturing Monica + Mikey’s wedding day. We lucked out with the absolute most perfect weather and spent our time in for their first look and bride and groom portraits, followed by an intimate church ceremony with close friends and family. Mikey could not stop grinning ear to ear the whole time, these two are just so adorable!

I didn’t even know a boat shoot was on my bucket list until it happened and it was crazy and beautiful and I can’t believe it was missing from my life until then. This was such a fun time and definitely a memorable day from this summer 🛥️☀️

About last weekend… 😍 Kimberleigh and Ben had a perfect and beautifully intimate wedding at Ben’s parents’ beach house in OCNJ, just steps away from the beach, celebrating with close family and a low-key, backyard (back-beach?) wedding. Loved every moment of it! Also thoroughly enjoyed the barefoot vibes as well (for those of you who know me, you know I live in my Birkenstocks but will also go barefoot whenever possible ☺️). I realized this year that intimate + micro weddings are officially my favorite ever. So simple, so intentional. Spending quality time with loved ones and so little obligations and stress! What a beautiful day this was.

Home today enjoying some extra snuggles with the baby, as I drove down to OCNJ yesterday for a beautifully intimate beach wedding (stay tuned for that!) and it’s got me all coastal-vibing. So many lovely summer work I still need to share before fall hits! 🐚🪸☀️

In honor of Kimberleigh + Ben are trying the knot today, here’s some engagement shots from our time at The Ritz! I had never been there before and it was absolutely stunning. The staff were so sweet and accommodating to us the entire time, (even when we blocked elevators to get the shot!) and the place was gorgeous and so fun to explore!
