It's the honor of a lifetime when I'm recommended by a previous bride to someone in her circle...especially when that someone is her beautiful SISTER! 😍 Traveling to Michigan to photograph Isabella and Caleb's downtown wedding was an absolute dream come true!

Caleb and Isabella met in Spanish class, and well - the rest is history. :) From the heartfelt vows during their rooftop ceremony to the joy shared with family and friends, every moment was an absolute fairytale! 💖

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. TURPIN!! 💍 I'm so grateful to have been a part of your special day! Here's to a lifetime of adventures and happiness! 🎉🥰

CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. & Mrs Abrahall! ❤️ After 3 and a half years of planning their big celebration, these two's dream wedding day finally came true!

We couldn't have asked for better fall weather for their outdoor ceremony and romantic evening reception. And the dusty florals, emerald green bridesmaid dresses, and Alexis' TWO gorgeous wedding gowns? Yes PLEASE! 😍

Alexis and James, the pandemic may have postponed your original wedding date; but it's clear that the love between you two is a forever kind of thing. ❤️

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from your wedding day!

Nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with a rolling backdrop of the North Carolina hills, you'll find Rachel’s Place.

This slice of heaven is not just a family owned farm. It's the place where Anna's late grandfather grew crops, provided for his family, and the place where Anna has thousands of memories.

So when Anna & Chase found each other, fell in love, and began planning their big day; there was only one place they wanted to say "I Do:" the family farm. 💙

I could spend all day telling you about Anna & Chase's love story; how they pulled up to their first date and realized they BOTH drove souped-up Cameros (!); how we bonded over the fact that we all love sports cars; or how Anna was a DREAM bride from the very first moment we met!

But I'll just let the photos take it from here. 😉

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Jones! Enjoy some of my favorite photos from your special day! ❤️

Holy COW you guys!! Is this day real life?! Ashley & Chad's wedding at The Quarry At Carrigan Farms took my breath away! 😍

In front of cascading waterfalls, beside the bluest water, and surrounded by their family and friends Ashley & Chad said "I do." ❤️ 4 years after I photographed our first session together, I got to watch these two become husband and wife and let me tell you -- nothing is sweeter than photographing clients who become friends!

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. TUCKER!!! 😍 You guys, this Florida destination wedding was a dream come true!

I mean...when your bride & groom are BOTH pilots, your bride is basically a princess and the groom looks like he stepped straight off the set of Yellowstone...does it get much better than that??

From the Spanish moss draping the trees at the Havana Springs Resort, to the over-the-top cuteness of their adorable pups Goose & Maverick, to ALL the love that surrounded Ashley and Lake by their family and friends, my first wedding of 2022 was MAGICAL in every way!

Ashley & Lake, you make my job SO easy! I'm so happy I was able to celebrate your special day with you! Enjoy some of my favorite photos from your wedding day!

I don't always cry at weddings, but when I do...they're weddings like Jenna and Hunter's! 🥲 What a MAGICAL day watching these two become Mr. & Mrs. KEUHN! ❤️

I didn't get to meet Hunter and Jenna until the day of their wedding -- but the second we hugged that morning it felt like we had been friends for years! They are truly one of the most laid-back, sweet couples I've ever met!

Their beautiful celebration took place at the Pinehill Pavilion with a Jewish ceremony, followed by a traditional ceremony overlooking the pond. Their family, friends and a team of vendors came together to truly help them celebrate the most perfect day!

Jenna & Hunter, I'm pinching myself I got to be your wedding photographer! Enjoy a few sneak peeks of your gorgeous gallery!

Sharon Ashlie

Obsessed with Kristen & Phillip's incredible wedding day at The Barn of Chapel Hill! What a beautiful celebration of these two's love story! 😍

The way that Phillip can't stop smiling when he's with his bride. The happiness in her eyes as Kristen dances in her man's arms. All of the love they share came together for a truly beautiful wedding day, made possible by an incredible creative team!

Luxurious greenery and florals. Dusty blue and lush pink details. Even Kristen & Phillip's pup Barney was able to be part of the wedding day, thanks to the wonderful services of Ivory Hound Weddings!

Kristen & Phillip, your day was a beautiful reminder of everything love is all about. Wishing you two a marriage as magical as the special day you celebrated together!

xx

Where to start with Lindy and Sam's incredible wedding day?! Sunshine. JOY. LOVE. It was everything you could dream of in the perfect wedding day! 💕

Like many couples, Lindy and Sam had to move their big celebration last year -- but I'd say it was worth the wait! ;)

The Rose Hill Estate was the perfect backdrop to their celebration. With rolling hills, a tree-lined drive and a gorgeous manor surrounded by a lake?! What DREAMS are made of!

And y'all. The reception?! Lindy & Sam's family and friends danced the night away in an incredible room decked out by Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design. The entire vendor team came together to bring them a beautiful experience!

Lindy & Sam, you are the perfect example of true love and a couple that truly puts each other first. I'm so grateful I got to help you celebrate your incredible day! 💕

Enjoy your wedding sneak peeks!

Two pilots met at a flight school. 😎 And amid all the flight planning, aviation marketing, and teaching other people how to fly - Ashley & Lake not only found their passions, they found the love of their life...each other. 🥰

This engagement session means SO much to me for so many reasons, but first and foremost because I'm SO lucky to have these two as not just fellow pilots, but incredible friends!

And can you imagine a session where three pilots all hang out...without taking pictures with the airplanes that got them there?! ;) (Hey Blue Line Aviation and Diamond Aircraft 😍)

Ashley & Lake, you two make my heart so happy! Your love for each other is so deep and you truly balance each other out SO well. I couldn't ask for a better couple for my first wedding of 2022...Florida can't get here soon enough! 😍🙌🏼🌴

What a way to celebrate ! 🥺🤩 Today I got to do something I’ve always dreamed of doing...FLY myself solo...in my dream airplane...to photograph the engagement session of two fellow PILOTS! ✈️📸 Like WHAT!!!

Combining my two biggest passions in life by flying to one of my photo sessions has always been a dream of mine. (And the fact that I got to photograph Ashley & Lake, a super hot couple who are also my amazing friends, in front of the airplane that *I* flew there!? 🥺😭🤩 PINCH ME!)

Ashley & Lake, you two made it come full circle for me tonight! 💕 I can’t wait for your Florida wedding coming up soon! 🤩

Sydney & Will's spring wedding at The Rickhouse was everything dreams are made of! 😍

Sydney works in the wedding industry and remembers meeting Will one day at a work event. They hit it off right away, and Will says when he saw Sydney getting out her car for the first time, he was immediately taken with "the really cute marketing manager they just hired." 😉

Their relationship took off from there! It's only fitting that Sydney & Will's wedding day would pay tribute to all the things they love as a couple - including family, friends, baseball, and really good food. 😍🙌🏼

Sydney & Will, you two truly exemplify what a beautiful relationship is all about!
