Holly & Jacob | 11.23.24

Having worked with Holly and Jacob during their engagement session this past spring, I already knew we were in for a great day. These two are so sweet and easygoing, and their love for each other is so obvious it makes my job feel effortless. Plus, Holly brought her A-game with organization—her detail boxes were ready to roll, which made the morning a breeze (pro tip: organized brides are my love language).

Ashley & Riley | 11.17.24

Ashley & Riley chose an indoor ceremony, which was stunning, and afterward, we made our way outside for portraits. One of my favorite spots? The gorgeous lake. We got some incredible shots there, though we did have to carefully navigate around the goose poop—totally worth it for that view!

Kalleigh & Austin | 11.1.24

Kalleigh had mentioned Austin wasn't too keen on photos, but you wouldn’t have known it! They both did so well, and even though we had to hustle a bit after the ceremony to catch the best light before sunset, they took it all in stride. We did have a slight delay before the ceremony (hair and makeup ran just a bit over schedule), but with Kalleigh's awesome bridal party stepping up to help keep things running smoothly and maintain that “first look” surprise, we got all the pre-ceremony shots just in the nick of time!

Leah and Ben's wedding was a testament to their unwavering faith and commitment to each other. Every aspect of the ceremony, from the heartfelt prayers to the Christ-centered message, spoke to the depth of their love and the foundation upon which their marriage was built.

Kassandra & Derek | 11.13.23

As Kassandra walked down the aisle in her striking black gown, adorned with intricate lace and elegant details, there was a sense of anticipation in the air. The decision to wear a black dress for her special day was unconventional, and as a photographer, I'll admit I was a bit nervous at first. Black dresses typically evoke a different style and mood compared to traditional white or ivory gowns. However, any apprehension quickly dissolved as Kassandra radiated confidence and grace, making the dress her own and owning every moment.
