All in Portraits
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!
It was you all along. It was your hands I’d feel inside of me, how you put them in fists by your face and move them in circles. I felt that inside. It was your elbows and knees I’d see poking out through my belly. It was your head I was referring to when I kept asking my family, “have I dropped yet?!” It was you who I prayed for, even before you were conceived. It was you who I sang to and talked to all day and night. It was you who erased my waistline and gave me nausea, the mommy waddle, every food aversion, hormonal acne, nerve pain, and explosive burps. It was you who I have loved, and love even more now that we’ve officially met in the fresh air. My precious London Joanne, you are the most beautiful gift and I love being your Mommy.
We couldn't be happier to be writing this post! Our beautiful, precious daughter has finally arrived, and we are so grateful and in love.
Becoming an AUNT, getting her ears pierced, playing soccer for the first time, taking sewing and art classes, beginning her first year as a summer missionary with CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship), and growing up way too fast! It's been a full year for my sister!
What an amazing night this was! This engagement session happened on an evening where severe summer storms suddenly appeared in the forecast and threatened our shoot. As we were looking at the radar on the way to the shoot, there was NO WAY we'd be able to take photos. But then God. He cleared it all up, gave us amazing light, a beautiful location, and gorgeous images of the sweetest couple. How amazing is that?! We just couldn't believe it!
John and Abby are married! Their black tie formal wedding was spent surrounded by friends and family in Charlotte, NC. Abby and John wanted their photos to capture the day as it unfolded, featuring their guests and special memories rather than an abundance of portraits. So we definitely did that!
Now that Abby and John are married, we are free to share her incredible bridals at The Duke Mansion! Their wedding was a very classy black tie wedding, and her bridals reflected the same class and beauty.
60 degrees and sunny with snow still on the ground? That's what January 20th looked like in Waxhaw, NC! It was an absolutely perfect day for Andrew and Ashlyn's wedding!
Navy blue and mint green were their wedding colors, with all the decorations and food done by friends and family - a true DIY wedding!
This Christmas winter wedding was one for the books! We have been so blessed to be a part of weddings of adorably happy couples who honor God with their relationship. It makes for a very special, sacred, and beautiful wedding day. We couldn't be happier for Kyle and Shannon as they begin their lives together!
Meet our new friends: An Australian and a Southerner. Or, you could just call them Ben and Brooke like we do. ;) They got engaged LAST WEEK and jumped on the wedding planning wagon to get a head start for international family and friends!
Since the full wedding episode aired on TLC, we are now free to share some images! We've received a lot of questions regarding this wedding, so we've added in a FAQ section with photos interspersed!
THIS WEDDING! We're so excited to share some of our favorites with you all from Brinkley and Brittany's first day of marriage! It's a good one!
Meet Kyle and Shannon! We've known Kyle for a few years through our church, and it was so much fun to see him and Shannon together! Jon and I came away from their engagement session saying the exact same thing: they bring the best out in each other, and they were crazy happy, fun, kind, and so personable.
Looking through some of the photos, she and I both were shocked at the resemblance! I've never thought she looked like me until we took these photos. Meet my wonderfully lovely sister, Marianna. :)
