Kristen & Derek- Danada House wedding
When Kristen and Derek are around each other they have a hard time paying attention to anything else. They smile, they blush, they stare, they touch. They are completely love-struck, and everyone loves them for it. Being the truly wonderful people that they are, their wedding was full of joyful tears and laughter from both […]
Jaclyn and Brad- Sweet Carolina
Not only did I have the pleasure of meeting Jaclyn and Brad at a friend’s wedding last year, but it has been wonderful getting to know them. I can talk to Brad for hours about music (especially our mutual love for all things Ryan Adams), and when a Martin Sexton song came on during the […]
Emily & Jack- Love in an art gallery
Sometimes people really do have the kind of love story you see in the movies. Take Emily and Jack for instance… college friends, they dated each other’s mutual friends for many years, never noticing that something was happening all along. Then one day everything changed. They were swimming in a lake with friends and all […]
Monica & Ben- Salvage One engagement
It’s hard not to love Salvage One, in fact the interior impressed Monica and Ben so much that they chose it for their wedding location AND their engagement photos. I was like a kid in a candy store… beautiful space and a beautiful couple- pretty freakin’ perfect! Monica looked stunning, and Ben cleaned up quite […]

Kristine and Steve are really special, they treasure each other immensely and the time spent with one another.

Danielle + Patrick- Venue Six10 Wedding
“Home is wherever I’m with you,” is the best description of these two. All of the wedding day gitters and stress melted away as soon as they saw each other.

Susie + Shaun- Love is in the details
Young love is a beautiful thing… it is innocent and unassuming, and is not accompanied by judgement or previous experience. Who knew that Shaun’s little brother would introduce him to the perfect mate, a woman to spend the rest of his life with, to play “doctor” and “house” with. While Shaun busied himself with medical […]
