This Baker Buffalo Creek wedding was nothing short of a fairytale!  Kristen and Glenn met while working on one of Charlotte’s top realtor teams.  As they were joined together on their wedding day, their children (and new puppy) stood by their sides. Although their wedding was postponed one month due to the current pandemic, it […]

I’m struggling to find the right words for this post… Patty (Carolina Roses) and I have been working together for many years and we love collaborating on sessions and weddings together. So when Southern Bride reached out to us in April about publishing one of our styled shoots in their summer/fall issue, I thought it […]

What a romantic engagement session at the Slightly Different Nursery daylily farm!  I just love my adventurous couples and these two are the sweetest!  Marybeth and Wesley are always hiking, boating, or 4-wheelin somewhere! Marybeth was on the hunt for a beautiful venue where they could be outdoors and in nature – I say it […]

This Spinning Leaf wedding is one I’ll never forget!  Krysta and Jordan have become such dear friends of mine and their big day was so much fun!  If you missed the sneak peek, then you’re in for a surprise!  Rameses, UNC’s mascot, showed up to their wedding and became a part of the wedding party!

Morse Park, in Lake Lure, is one of my favorite locations!  So much so, Aaron and I had our anniversary session here last year!  There is breathtaking scenery everywhere you look and was perfect for Savannah and Nick’s engagement session!

When one of your neighbors is growing wheat and the other has beautiful kids, you plan a sunset wheat field session!  Kendall and Kaitlyn have the sweetest sister bond and they always keep me smiling!  They each get more beautiful each time I see them! Their brother, Dusty, and his precious girlfriend joined in on […]

This Forest View Manor bridal session has stolen my heart!  There were moments during the session that felt like a Charleston plantation, but this beautiful manor sits in our small Southern town! Miranda’s session took place in the middle of the pandemic and it’s a miracle that we made it happen!  She was able to […]

This Rankin Lake Park engagement session was such fun!  Cassie and Charlie are the sweetest couple and their smiles are contagious!  Within 5 minutes of starting their session, I felt like I was hanging out with friends for the afternoon! You’ve got to hear about the sweet proposal!  On December 19th, Charlie came home with […]

With trends changing so rapidly, I believe were going to see a rise in more nontraditional weddings.

Brides are getting more creative with their styles and are merging traditions to create a more […]
