All in Summer
Kailen was an absolute natural in front of the camera and rocked her senior portraits! You wouldn’t even know she was allergic to the grass I asked her to sit in. She’s a trooper!
Senior sessions are truly so fun and special — this season is a pivotal point in life, and I love being able to capture the life, energy, and excitement that these students have.
This sweet couple. It really was an honor to shoot this wedding for Chad and Bailey. I could tell from the moment I met them and their families that they have a very special bond. Not often (or ever) have I seen the Maid of Honor be a sibling to the groom, and the Best Man a sibling to the bride!
Mike is a friend and coworker, and it was a pleasure to be a part of his and Ana’s wedding day. The original plan included a different location with an outdoor ceremony. In typical North Carolina fashion, and what seemed like 14 out of 15 weekends of rain, the whole event was switched to indoors.
We took advantage of the brief opportunity to take some outdoor portraits during the light mist. Mike and Ana were easy going and adventurous enough to venture outside and created some fun, memorable, and timeless portraits!
The Gospel was shared, the wedding party wore comfortable (and fun!) Vans shoes, the dance floor was full, they were surrounded by supportive family and friends, and this happy couple was married on this beautiful, sunny day!
It is always an honor to be a part of documenting weddings for couples who love the Lord and desire to honor Him with their relationship and marriage. Jonathan and Bethany were exactly that.
We are excited for you both to experience the goodness of God through marriage as you learn to trust Him and follow Him in new ways!
What a joy it is to take photos for friends as they enter such sweet, new seasons of life! Laura and I met in 2005 when we were serving at a camp in Asheville with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF). We’ve followed each other’s life happenings online throughout the last many years, and I was overjoyed to see that she was engaged! A few days later, she asked about engagement photos — and you better believe we were stoked.
Here you are, Babe! Your last year in your TEENS! I loved spending time with you exploring campus and taking photos that truly display your personality.
Man, growing up happens fast, and I’m grateful for your friendship.
For those who don’t know, I called Marianna my Baby for the longest time. As she got older, Baby sounded weird, so we transitioned to Babe. That name is reserved only for her, and I’ll never call Jon Babe. ;)
7 years. That’s how long they waited to become husband and wife. Everyone at the wedding was already friends, so the celebration was next level!
Jack and Kayla, it is obvious that you are both dearly loved by your friends and family, and you’ve begun your marriage with an incredible support system.
From the vibrant florals to the tears of joy and the most active dance floor we’ve ever seen at a wedding - we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of capturing your wedding day!
Happy 17th Birthday, Marianna! We look forward to your birthday shoot every year and seeing what theme you choose! And this year definitely didn’t disappoint!
You are officially smarter than me in many ways…starting with technology. You are now my go-to person when I have questions! I have LOVED watching you develop your own passions and hobbies, especially since it’s so different than my own!
Happy Sweet 16, Marianna! This summer was so HOT and BUSY, so we’re a few months late…but extended birthdays are always the best, right?!
Birthday photoshoots have been a tradition for many years, and it’s been a treat to watch her grow up! Every year, the photoshoot is personalized. This year, she chose an uptown Charlotte location with a view of the skyline. We LOVED shooting in Charlotte and had such a great time together!
The post you’ve all been waiting for!!! Andrew and Bethany’s PROPOSAL and ENGAGEMENT photos!
We made the trip to Utah to surprise my (Jennifer’s) sister, Bethany, and to take some photos of them! We’ve been a part of all of my siblings proposals, and we didn’t want to miss this one!
The surprise was a huge success, and we’re so glad that we could be there.
Have you ever gotten DOUSED in LAVENDER? Like down your clothes, and embedded in your hair? Yeah, me neither. But that should give you an idea of how excited David and Mandie’s friends and family were to send them off to their honeymoon after their wedding! Be sure to stay to the end of the post to see what I mean!
With around 500-600 guests in attendance to celebrate their union, their wedding was nothing short of meaningful, emotional, and pure joy.
Elegant, timeless, romantic: these are the words that come to mind when describing Matthew and Kirsten’s Asheville wedding at Homewood! This venue looks like a castle from the outside!
There was rain on and off the entire day, but God was so good to clear up the weather so most of the portraits could be taken outside. We were so grateful! When we ran outside for photos, Kristen was such a pro and basically a model. She NAILED IT and was so comfortable in from of the camera! She and Matthew made our job so easy!
Austin and Rachel are married! Their wedding day, although very hot and humid (Hello, Charlotte weather!), was beautiful! God graciously held off all of the thunderstorms so that we could take all of the portraits outside! After the ceremony, there were a handful of storms surrounding Charlotte, but none of them actually hit!
Almost 3 months later...but better late than never! Marianna, one of my sisters, turned 15 on June 1st! I had hoped to take her portraits before London was born, but that didn't happen!
Year 15. Goodness. I remember doing so much growing up in that year. My prayer for you is that you would grow in every way this year...especially in safety and responsibility since you'll be on the road BEHIND THE WHEEL. Ahhh! I can't believe you're old enough to DRIVE!
