Patricia and Devon’s engagement session last fall definitely rates up there as one of my all-time favorites. These two have so much chemistry and our location, The Arbors Events looked stunning with the fall leaves at their peak. The ladies a Beauty Asylum did hair and makeup and made Patricia feel amazing about herself. Their September wedding at this same location could not come fast enough. read more
When we pulled up to the the Rose Hill Plantation on Alex & Mike’s 70-degree wedding day, I knew it was going to be an amazing. Located just outside of Raleigh in Nashville, NC this venue is everything a bride would want with a style that ranges from elegant to rustic and everything in between. It was the perfect fit for Alex and Mike whose wedding really embraced that soft elegant but slightly rustic style. These two were a joy to spend the day with. There was not a doubt about how much they love each other and how excited they were to be married to one another that day. read more
Katie-Kelly and Tyler’s wedding day was the kick-off wedding to our Charlotte wedding season this year and I could not have imagined a better start to the year. I have adored these two since their engagement session and I am so thrilled with how their day turned out. There were so many moments in this day that made me tear-up which is pretty hard to do since I attend about 20 weddings per year. I LOVE KK’s style. Everything about it, and because of that, this post got a little long. This was my first wedding of 3 at The Whitehead Manor this year and I am so happy to be shooting at this venue so much. It is gorgeous with so many photo-spots and the ladies that run it are unmatched. Thank you Paris for putting on such a great day! Full list of wedding vendors are at the bottom of this post.
KK & Tyler, you know how much I adore you two. Thank you for letting me be apart of the best day of your lives. Please keep in touch!
There are few things I love more than running around in my hometown city with one of our beautiful engaged couples. Erica and Chris were so laid and back and we had such a good time walking around the Uptown Charlotte and finding some amazing photo spots along the way. These two met in a kick ball league so right away I knew they are would be a fun couple, and I was right! I cannot wait for their wedding in the vineyards of VA next year.
Enjoy! read more
One thing that comes up pretty quickly when people get to know me is that I spent 3 years living in the Middle East after college. The majority of that time was spent living and Lebanon and it is no secret that this country is very near and dear to my heart. I was interviewed in the recent issue of Carolina Bride and one of the questions asked was, “If you could share a meal with anyone, who would it be?” While many people would answer a famous person or maybe a beloved author or musician, I answered for all my friends from my time in Lebanon to be in one room at the same time. Since leaving Beirut in 2008 many of us have scattered around the U.S. and the world. What I wouldn’t give to have us all back together again. read more
Words cannot describe how much I love this couple and their Morehead Inn wedding day. Clinton and Grace are two of the sweetest and most fun people to be around and they have a style that I love. Their wedding had this classic style woven through every part and it was an absolute joy to photograph. In addition to an amazing couple this wedding day was filled with vendors who are some of the best in the biz (full vendor list below), and I got to work with one of my favorite planners, Mandi from Social 10 Events.
Congrats Clinton & Grace! So much love to you two. read more
Cameron and Nolan also had the unique opportunity to have their engagement session set at the Peach Orchards in Fort Mill, SC. We shot their session amongst the peach trees first and then headed over to a nearby wooded area to catch some amazing sunset light. And this light was beautiful, let me tell you, so be sure to scroll all the way down to see the 2nd half of this shoot. I just love Cameron and Nolan. They are so easy to be around, funny, laid back and even a little edgy. I cannot wait to shoot their October wedding at The Whitehead Manor.
Enjoy this sweet couple! read more
Katy and I went to college together and graduated about 11 years ago (gasp!). When she got back in touch after getting engaged to Brad I jumped at the chance to be apart of her Sunday Brunch Wedding. For their engagement session, these two took advantage of the blooming peach trees in Fort Mill, SC. I always love shooting at the peach orchards because these gorgeous blooms only last for about 10 days to two weeks. We started our shoot in downtown Fort Mill (which is adorable btw) for an additional look. Katy & Brad will be husband and wife in just over a month and I am thrilled for them!
Enjoy this lovely couple. read more
Curtis and Stephanie’s wedding was a highlight of my 2015 wedding season even if their wedding day was on one of the hottest days of the year. I don’t if anyone remembers those scorching hot temps last June?? Even despite the heat though, these two kept a smile on their face the whole day which was infectious to us all. Stephanie had a soft and delicate homegrown style that I loved and that was woven through every detail of their wedding. Their venue, The Gardens at Gray Gables only added to Stephanie’s beautiful style.
Enjoy! read more
I am so excited to finally be able to share this shoot after having to wait for it to be published! This wedding inspiration shoot was a labor of love and I am thrilled with the way it turned out. My wonderful and talented friend, Mandi with Social 10 Events worked so hard to produce a style that was so fitting for my ideal bride and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final product. Icing on the cake is that it was published in both local and national editorials. Carolina Bride featured this shoot in their 50th Anniversary Issue and it was recently featured on the gorgeous Ruffled blog. read more
