All in Weddings

Alex + Amanda // Married

In the yard of her grandparent's historic home in Gretna, Virginia, Amanda married her best friend. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and the wedding weekend was full of good food, lots of friends and family, and much celebration!

In fact, Amanda's family own TWO farms. The rehearsal dinner was held at the other farm, and the wedding and reception was held at the one pictured below.

Alex and Amanda met in Georgia on a bus to and from Georgia Tech during their undergrad days. From that first meeting, their lives have been forever changed! They split up for a short while after she transferred to Clemson; however, they soon reconnected in grad school - Alex at Georgia Tech, and Amanda at Clemson University. The toasts given by Alex's brother and Amanda's sister were definitely from the heart and sincerely a joy to listen to.

Enjoy this blue and white destination farm wedding!

Wooded Bridal Session // Amanda

Amanda was such a calm Bride. With traffic delays and timing issues, we had 20 minutes left for this shoot. She hopped out of their SUV and joyfully began taking her bridal photos. No stress, so agitation. And we all know what traffic can do to a person! We were thoroughly impressed and enjoyed every moment of this shoot! Not to mention that we got some killer photos!

We chose the Monroe corporate center drive for the location. There's plenty of tall grass, trees, and beautiful light.

Amanda, you were stunning.

A Blue and Pink Charlotte Wedding // Joe+Jenna

A celebration like this is what makes me so thrilled to be a wedding photographer. Joe and Jenna became immediate friends, and we are beyond grateful to be a part of their love story.

When Jennifer and I met Joe and Jenna at a local Starbucks here in Charlotte, I knew that capturing their wedding would be a joy. And it was! Between meeting them and shooting their wedding, they both visited our church, became members, and became our friends.

This Charlotte wedding was brimming over with joy and excitement! They patiently waited for each other as God was writing His beautiful story for the both of them. Their wedding was held in the lobby of Carmel Baptist Church and decorated with pink hydrandeas and soft teal colors.

An Outdoor Wooded Wedding // Aaron+Hanna

Andrew Jackson State Park can be the perfect place for an outdoor wedding, and that's how it was, simply lovely. Aaron and Hanna were such a joy to capture throughout the day, from the prep to first look, to a wonderful ceremony and reception, capped off with stunning sunset shots on the lake. So thankful to have my girlfriend with me to second shoot the celebration, we had a blast, Aaron and Hanna! 

Springfield, MO, Wedding // Dan+Katie

What a privilege to be the photographer for Dan and Katie's wedding in Springfield, Missouri! The whole day was lovely, even when the storm rolled in, and caused a premature ending to the reception, it just couldn't dampen the joy spirits of all who were a part and attended. Here are some of my favorite moments from their special day.

Dan and Katie were absolute troopers while taking amazing portraits in the rain. Make sure you see ALL the photos at the end!

Firethorne Country Club Wedding // Ryan+Kacie

What a joy to be a part of Ryan and Kacie's wedding. They couldn't have been more pleasant to capture, and the entire weekend was so much fun!

During the rehearsal dinner, the groomsmen and Jake (the officiant and friend) gave their counsel to Kacie concerning Ryan. They humorously shared stories and wished the best for their marriage. Since Kacie and Ryan live in Texas, I so enjoyed getting to know them both, their families, and their friends during the wedding weekend.
