Kate & Neal Wedding at Steam Plant

I think it’s safe to say that Kate and Neal were so happy to finally tie the knot! They made it through a postponed wedding due to the pandemic, so why not throw a few tornado warnings in for their wedding day. Thankfully through all of the crazy weather we had, we did not have any issues during the time we had scheduled for portraits. YAYY!! This made me very happy, even though the Steam Plant was absolutely gorgeous so indoor photos would still have been a great option! We were able to grab portraits at multiple locations including outside of the Steam Plant, on their college campus, at their favorite college bar, and outside of their summer house in college. It was so great to hear Kate & Neal relive some of their favorite memories with their friends and I was so honored to have captured the new memories they made together on wedding day!

Taylor & Ken Wedding at Manor House

I always show up on a wedding day so excited to see each of the little details that make the day personal and unique my couples. The details from Taylor + Ken’s wedding day were SO THEM and I loved it so much! The bright pinks and glam touches were so fun to work with and I could tell they were both excited about them too. We had a pretty hot day, and spent most of it outdoors, but I’m so glad they trusted me in taking them outside one more time to capture just a few sunset photos because it was gorgeous out! We then all danced the night away and enjoyed their adorable candy bar. Below are just a few of my favorites from their wedding day!

Kelsey & Michael Wedding at Four Seasons Barn

It may have rained the entire day for their wedding, but that only means you have good luck right?! Kelsey & Michael’s wedding celebration was absolutely beautiful and we were still able to have an outdoor ceremony in the rain, how cool is that? The Four Seasons Barn has an excellent backup option for rainy days and I’m so glad we were able to make this work. I LOVED the blues Kelsey picked out for the details and they worked so well together! All of the food and especially the dessert bar looked, and tasted, SO AMAZING! I am so excited to share some of my favorites from their day below!

Cassie & Corry Wedding

I drove up to Lake Lyndsay with the most beautiful weather on the forecast and it was looking like a perfect May wedding! I was so excited to celebrate Cassie & Corry and to kick off my spring wedding season. After capturing some of their beautiful and unique wedding details, we set up a first look with Cassie and her father, followed by Cassie & Corry’s first look. I am so glad they chose this option, because we were able to capture many of their photos before the ceremony so they could relax and celebrate with their family and friends in the evening. We were able to capture these candids moments of everyone during the cocktail hour and reception and even had a chance to sneak out for some STUNNING golden hour photos by the lake. These two really started my spring/summer season off strong and I can’t wait to share some photos with them!

Key West Beach Proposal | Kati & Drew

At the beginning of the month Chris and I traveled to Key West with our good friends Kati & Drew. We had this trip planned for months, but when I found out that Drew was planning on proposing to Kati while we were down there, I was even more excited! The plan was to take a morning stroll on the beach and then celebrate all weekend. Drew picked out Fort Zachary Taylor State Park Beach which is the most southern point of the continental US. We walked along the beach and he popped the question! It was such a sweet moment and I was so honored to be a part of it. I am so happy for these guys and had a ton of fun celebrating with them all weekend. Below are a few of my favorites photos from the proposal!
