  • Hello

    Thanks so much for stopping by! After five awesome years in Durham, NC, my husband Caleb and I spent a year in Indianapolis, and are currently living in Los Angeles. Since we're traveling around on this great adventure, I'm not currently able to take on any additional weddings. Once we're settled, I look forward to getting back to doing what I love best, photographing weddings! In the mean time, please feel free to take a look around my blog. Thanks for being here!

Katelyn + Cody | Kansas engagement

Katelyn and Cody’s engagement session took place the day after Christmas in their home town of Waverly, Kansas. Katelyn is my adorable cousin-in-law, so Caleb and I had a great time photographing them while visiting family in Kansas. We started at Katelyn’s parents house then Cody drove us out to the land where he and Katelyn are building their home to shoot the rest of the session. Ahh, Kansas, I miss your pretty, open fields and big sky!

Thank you Katelyn and Cody for an awesome shoot (especially Cody because I know that this was completely out of your comfort zone)! Finally, just for fun, let’s travel back in time about 20 years to see Katelyn and her cousin, Caleb as little guys.

Elizabeth + Bart | Atlanta Engagement

Elizabeth and I have been friends since way back in our Girl Scout days. Months ago, she started telling me about Bart, and I couldn’t wait to meet him. Last weekend we finally had the chance; I headed down to Atlanta to photograph their engagement session in Piedmont Park. Elizabeth attends seminary just outside Atlanta, while Bart attends seminary in Austin, so they enjoy every minute they get to spend together, as you’ll notice when you see that Elizabeth is smiling in every. single. photo.

Elizabeth and Bart will become Mr. and Mrs. this summer in Lawrence, Kansas. I’m so excited for you guys!

Sofie + Dustin’s Wedding | The Matthews House

I can’t say enough good things about Sofie, Dustin, and their friends and family. Sunday’s wedding at The Matthews House was the perfect celebration for such an amazing couple.

Sofie, you are so gorgeous.

It was hot, hot, hot in that North Carolina sun, but these two were total troopers.

Sofie is from Germany, and all five of her lovely bridesmaids traveled from Germany to be with her on her big day. Sofie had to translate for me a bit–I talk fast and sometimes make up words that aren’t exactly English. Thanks, ladies. You were fabulous!
In lieu of a guest book, Sofie and Dustin provided a blank canvas, divided into smaller squares where guests painted pictures and messages. Love it!

Sofie and Dustin, thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day! It was truly a wonderful experience, and I wish you guys so much happiness!

Sierra and Roderick’s were married at the Barn at Valhalla in Chapel Hill on Saturday. It’s only been three weeks since moving to Indianapolis, but I was itching to get back to North Carolina for this gorgeous barn wedding.
