Many aspects about Sara and Ash’s wedding were what some would consider nontraditional, but after getting to know this sweet couple I can tell you that every detail fit them perfectly. I love Sara’s choice of emerald green for her wedding color. This color was strung throughout the entire wedding and at the center was Sara’s incredible emerald engagement ring.

Mandi, from Social10 Events planned this wedding so of course it went off perfectly. I love working with a planner who has it all together, it make my job so much easier! It was also a blast shooting at Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. I love that these two included their enjoyment of craft beers as apart of their wedding.

Congrats Sara & Ash. Your day was amazing!

A few months back, I got the opportunity to do a family shoot that was not like anything I had ever done before. Erin contacted me because she wanted to do a celebration shoot. See, Erin had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer 6 years earlier when she was 33 years old and her son was only 9 months old. Our shoot was to celebrate Erin’s 5 year remission anniversary. Praise God!

This shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty a few weeks ago and there you will find more about Erin’s story in her words. Thank you Kerfien Family for allowing me to be apart of such a meaningful time in your lives. You have all touched me so much. Here are a few of my favorites from this very special shoot.

 Amanda and Josh’s engagement session was on one of the hottest days of the year. It was over 100 degrees yet, these two still kept smiling and this session turned out to be one of my all time favorites. You can’t beat shooting at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the options there are endless. For their 2nd look, we headed to Josh’s parent’s nearby lake house which was just as picturesque. These amazing locations paired with this beautiful and so-in-love couple made for a great evening. The fact that Amanda and Josh are getting married in Amanda’s hometown of New Orleans and that I was already booked on their wedding date made it impossible for me to shoot their wedding next year, but I had such a great time getting to know these two at their engagement session.

Congrats, Amanda & Josh!
