Seventeen years of love, life, and choosing each other—and finally, a chance to capture it all 🤍

Stephen & Andrew’s story began 17 years ago, and while they’ve already eloped, they never had the chance to truly document their story together—until now

With the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC as their backdrop and their third family member in tow 🐾 we celebrated a love that deserves to be remembered

A little reminder that you don’t need a milestone, a special occasion, or a reason to book a photo session. Your story is reason enough, and it’s never too late to document the love and life you’ve built together

Private vows & no peeking 🤍

I love that Jennifer & Alon chose this special moment before their ceremony.

It gave them space to breathe, check in with each other and share their promises with one another intimately while still giving them that traditional down the aisle reveal!

Julia & Dakota’s fall wedding day was nothing short of a chic, romantic dream 🥀

From their moody color palette and exquisite florals to the thoughtful personal touches woven throughout the day, every detail made this rainy October wedding one to remember!

When the rain called for a change of plans, it led to a beautiful draped backdrop for their ceremony that felt romantic and intentional in every way.

Their dachshund, Datsun, even made a little appearance on their es**rt cards and bar menu! Deep red orchids served as a beautiful tribute to Julia’s grandmother, while a ring gifted to her mother by her father became Julia’s something blue—a sentimental detail that made the day even more meaningful

I’ll be reliving this day over & over again!

Wedding season part II (fall) started early for me this year and I’m so ready for it! And for all of you 2026 brides…

I can’t wait to see your dress

I can’t wait to see all the details you’ve chosen

I can’t wait to see flower girls twirling in their dresses

I can’t wait to see you getting ready with your best friends

I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he sees you

I can’t wait to capture your parents sitting in the front row captivated by their little girl

I can’t wait to hold your flowers for you so you can hug your husband

I can’t wait to catch the in between glances at each other with pure love in your eyes and smiles

I cant wait to capture it all for you so you can be present in your day and look back at photos later and remember it for what is was—the best day of your life 🤍
