Three things I wish every bride would tell her photographer before the wedding day.

After photographing weddings for years, I’ve learned that some of the most helpful things you can share with me have absolutely nothing to do with a Pinterest board or a shot list.

Tell me about your what matters most to you.

Who matters most to you? Who do you want to make sure I’m watching for throughout the day?

Tell me what you’re nervous about.

Maybe you feel awkward in front of the camera. Maybe there’s something you’re self-conscious about. You can tell me! You don’t have to know how to pose or what to do—I’ll help you through all of that.

And tell me how you want your wedding day to feel.

Do you want slow, quiet moments together? Lots of time with family? A packed dance floor? Do you want to be fully present and not feel like your entire wedding day is one long photoshoot?

Because my job isn’t simply to give you beautiful photographs.

It’s to pay attention.

To the people you love.

To the moments happening around you.

To the little things you may not even realize are happening.

Because years from now, I don’t just want you to remember what your wedding looked like.

I want these photographs to take you back to how it felt.

I can’t tell you how many couples have started their engagement session by telling me some version of:“We’re really awkw...

I can’t tell you how many couples have started their engagement session by telling me some version of:

“We’re really awkward in front of the camera.” 😂

And I promise—you are not the only ones.

You don’t have to arrive knowing how to pose, where to look, what to do with your hands, or how to magically create those effortless photographs you’ve saved.

That’s my job.

I’ll direct you when you need direction. I’ll fix the little things. I’ll put you in beautiful light. I’ll give you something to do when standing there smiling at a camera feels completely unnatural.

But I’m also watching for the moments in between.

The laugh I didn’t ask for.

The way he looks at you.

The way you naturally reach for each other.

The little things that are already you.

Because your engagement session isn’t about proving you’re good at having your picture taken.

It’s about documenting who you are together in this season before you become husband and wife.

And you can’t mess that up.

10/08/2026

I spend so much of my life documenting beginnings.

A bride walking toward her husband.

Parents watching their child get married.

Families coming together.

The beginning of a marriage.

And somewhere along the way, photography has made me notice my own ordinary life differently too.

The kids needing us.

The noise.

The instruments everywhere.

Everyone piling into the car.

The ordinary dinners.

The messes I sometimes wish would disappear.

One day, they will.

And I think that’s part of why I care so deeply about photographs.

We’re not just preserving what something looked like.

We’re preserving evidence that this life happened.

These people were here.

We loved them.

And for one little season, life looked exactly like this. 🤍

FINALLY getting this beautiful June wedding on the blog! 🤍

Braden + Meilani’s wedding at Avonlea Farms was truly such a beautiful and memorable day. From the absolutely gorgeous venue to the joy surrounding these two, I loved every minute of getting to photograph their celebration!

This one was extra special for me because I had the privilege of working with Braden’s mom years ago, and this family is truly one of the sweetest. It was so wonderful seeing familiar faces again, celebrating alongside them, and watching everyone SO incredibly happy for Braden + Meilani. 🤍

Braden serves in the U.S. military, Meilani is a nurse, and together they are just such a beautiful couple. It was an absolute honor to document this chapter of their story.

And a HUGE thank you to Braden + Meilani and their families for being so patient with me as I finally get their wedding onto the blog! Wedding season has been full, but I couldn't let this gorgeous day stay tucked away any longer. 🥹

Thank you again for trusting me with such precious memories. I loved celebrating with all of you!

Richard + Meridyth are on the blog! 🤍

Their Colonial Williamsburg engagement session at the Governor’s Palace was absolutely beautiful! We originally had to reschedule because of a very rainy day, and goodness—I’m SO glad we waited for the sunshine. ☀️ These two were absolute naturals in front of the camera, and every little corner of Colonial Williamsburg gave us the most romantic, timeless backdrop.

And Meridyth’s gorgeous red hair against all that greenery?! 😍 So beautiful!

I loved spending this evening with these two in a place that is so special to them, and now I’m counting down to their April wedding at the Manor House at King’s Charter!

Richard + Meridyth, thank you for such a wonderful evening. I cannot wait to celebrate you both again! 🤍

Some couples just fit.

From the moment we met Andrew and Allie, it was obvious that their relationship is built on friendship, laughter, and genuinely enjoying life together. Whether they're exploring new places, spending time outdoors, cheering each other on at the gym, or simply enjoying a quiet day together, they make an incredible team.

Their wedding day began with a beautiful first look at Elizabethan Gardens and continued with a stunning waterfront celebration at Vista Creek in Manteo, North Carolina. Every part of the day reflected who they are—joyful, adventurous, and deeply committed to one another.

One of my favorite things about this couple is how naturally they complement each other. Andrew brings a steady strength and protection, while Allie brings warmth, kindness, and a heart that cares deeply for others. Watching them together, it's easy to see why everyone around them loves them so much.

Andrew & Allie, thank you for trusting us with your memories. It was truly an honor to celebrate alongside you and document the beginning of this new chapter.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Pease! ❤️

Confession: I am 100% the person who gets excited about flat lays. 😂

The rings? Love them.

The invitation suite? Obsessed.

The florals? Don’t even get me started.

There is something so satisfying about taking all the little pieces of a wedding day and creating images that tell the story before the story even begins.

Nerdy? Maybe.

Worth it? Absolutely
