Come rain or come shine ☁️🤍

Some love stories feel like they were written for the movies. The kind where two people grow up on the same street, both win “Class Crush” in high school, graduate together, years pass, life happens, and somehow the story finds its way back to them. And suddenly, the boy from down the street becomes the person you build a whole life with. The kind of love story that reminds us why we love a good rom-com.

When we planned their michigan engagement session at Stillwater Stables, the forecast had other plans. We were offered multiple chances to reschedule, but these two simply said, “We’re easy going and just grateful either way!” And I think that tells you just about everything you need to know about them.

There’s something really special about two people who can find the romance in the unexpected, the beauty in the imperfect, and the magic in moments that don’t go quite as planned. Who don’t need everything to be picture-perfect to know they’re living a moment worth remembering. These two have that in abundance, and I think it’s going to make for a pretty beautiful marriage.

I landed back in Michigan yesterday, and this Saturday I get to watch these two make it official. Something tells me they won’t need a reminder to slow down, take it all in, and be present for every little moment.

Come rain or come shine.

There’s something really special about finding your way back to a place that already holds a lil highlight of your business, and the places its taken you.

Last year I photographed the dreamiest engagement session in Gruene, Texas, with these two, never really knowing if I’d have a reason to make it back. Then, almost perfectly, a wedding inquiry landed in my inbox, and for just down the road.

So this past weekend brought me right back here. Historic Gruene Texas. The same little Texas town, some familiar faces, a cold one, live country music in the background, plenty of laughs, and a little more Texas sun.

A lil full-circle moment is waiting on the last slide ⏩
.A year ago, I captured them walking into Gruene Hall for their engagement session. This time, I caught them walking back out. Same two people, same place, one whole year of lovin in between.

Just one of those tiny reminders of how much I love getting to document peoples stories, and make some destination memories of my own along the way too!

Our home feels half empty and there’s a silence we’ve not experienced in years and we’re just trying to hold onto all the many good memories.

Last week we said goodbye to our sweet molly girl, our baby, after nearly 13 years alongside us. We’re feeling the emptiness with her gone from our family. No pitter patter as she trots through the house, no more playful exchanges between her and our sweet sweet Lincoln. no more blanket monster. there’s so many little things that’s found us in tears. And we’re all devastated.

After a spill at the end of June, resulting in another alarming injury to begin July, and a sad ultrasound (quickly spreading) tumor report from the vet at the start of last week. Things were moving quickly. I flew home as quickly as I could, where we spent two sad, but blissful last days as a family of 4 cozied at home sharing stories of our many adventures between lots of tears before saying our goodbyes to her on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.

We’re heartbroken.

Molly was with us from almost the start our relationship — she’s seen us through good and bad times, through our move cross country to Georgia, to adding a new member into the crew, and through many versions of ourselves.

We spent most of her life taking her (and her brother) for many adventures and making so many good and cherished ones throughout these years. She was the goodest girl, and a piece to our lil family. We’ll miss her immensely.

This last week, its been hard. Please keep our family in your thoughts as we grieve through the loss of our poor baby girl.

She will be missed dearly.

One thing I’ll never stop investing in is becoming a better photographer.

Earlier this year, I spent a few days in Charleston attending The Hybrid Collective, my very first work conference, which was multi-day and attended a shoot hosted by Brittany Boote and her incredible team Jessi Rutherford Patrick Properties Events.

It was such a refreshing opportunity to connect with other photographers throughout the conference, learn from talented creatives, and leave inspired.

I had the opportunity to lean into my more editorial approach to creating—something I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to alongside the candid, documentary storytelling that has always been at the heart of my work.

I love preserving genuine moments, but I also appreciate the artistry of slowing down and creating intentional imagery.
I walked away creatively recharged, with new friends and a renewed excitement for what’s ahead.

A few favorites from the day. 🤍

I think we’ve spent so many years photographing weddings for the bride that we’ve sometimes forgotten the groom has a story, too.

A story unfolding at the exact same time.

One where he’s buttoning up his tux while his brother is standing right behind him. Where lifelong friends are shotgunning beers on the balcony, making fun of each other’s golf swings, and turning any pre-ceremony nerves into laughter.

Where no one’s worried about the camera because they’re too busy living the moment.

Not just portraits.

A story.

His people.
His personality.
The friendships that helped shape him.
The brother who looks enough like him to make everyone do a double take.
The anticipation before he sees his person.

And later…

The guy who somehow ends up with his shirt over his head on the dance floor because the music got that good…and the moments everyone will laugh about for years.

These moments deserve more than five rushed minutes in a timeline.

Because one day, these won’t just be photos of him in a tux… They’ll be reminders of who stood beside him on an important day

…and who was still beside him when the dance floor opened.

Every wedding has two stories unfolding, and I plan on telling both.

Why should your wedding day be the only day you wear your dress?

One of the most underrated parts of the wedding experience is a bridal session.

Here’s why.

On your wedding day, your dress gets one chance. You’re moving from one thing to the next, hugging people, checking the timeline, and trying to soak in every moment. It’s incredible... but it also goes by so fast.

A bridal session gives you the chance to slow down. You get to learn how your dress moves, how to sit, walk, twirl, and simply feel comfortable in it before the wedding day arrives.

There are no guests wondering where you are. No one trying to sneak an early peek. Just a chance to be fully present, take it all in, and enjoy wearing your dress without feeling pulled in a dozen different directions.

It’s also the perfect opportunity to create somewhere you may not have access to on your wedding day. Maybe that’s another part of your venue that doesn’t fit into the schedule, or a completely different location that’s meaningful to you and wouldn’t otherwise make sense to visit on the wedding day.

One of the biggest benefits? Many of your portraits are already finished. That means when your wedding morning arrives, there’s less pressure, more breathing room, and more time to simply enjoy being with the people you love.

Your wedding day doesn’t have to be the only day your dress gets to be part of your story.

If you’re one of my 2027 brides and haven’t added a bridal session yet, let’s chat.

A little life lately.

The first half of 2026 has looked a lot different than I imagined. Slower in some ways, fuller in others.

There have been weddings (and some along fellow creatives) and weekend getaways. Home renovations. New places and familiar ones. Long drives, beach sunsets, dinners with friends, overdue time with family, and countless moments that reminded me to put the camera down and simply be present.

This winter and spring moved at a somewhat slower, steadier pace than usual, and for that I’ve become grateful. There was some loss in our family, which made the extra time together feel even more meaningful. More than anything, this season has reminded me how much I value connection—the people we love, the memories we share, and the moments that often pass by too quickly.

Ironically, those moments have also reminded me why I love photography so much.

Not because of the perfectly curated highlights, but because of the things in between.

The way someone reaches for your hand.
The laugh that catches you off guard.
The people who make a place feel like home, or home is wherever they’re with you.

The moments that might seem ordinary now, but won’t feel ordinary years from now.

So here’s a little photo/video dump from the past few months—some of the work, the travels, the people, and the memories that have filled this season.

And if you’ve been here following along, thank you. 🤍
