Vaughter’s Farm provided the perfect backdrop for Emily + Jordan’s winter engagement session. Vaughter’s Farm is always one of my favorite locations around the Atlanta area. It feels so out of the city and helps my couples fully relax and lets their love shine through. The lighting at Vaughter’s Farm is always PERFECT, even in the winter. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over everything it touches. The perfect setting to frolic through a field and giggle with your best friend.
I love exploring downtown Atlanta for engagement sessions with my couples. Downtown Atlanta engagement sessions provide so many different backdrops and options, like this Atlanta Rooftop Session I shot recently. Andrea and Allen wanted to go with a moody city vibe for their engagement session, and the weather aligned perfectly for us. We started off twirling and dipping, ran through a few crosswalks, and then shot in front of a gorgeous, historic hotel.
Jen and Montana had the most elegant December wedding at Juliette Chapel in Dahlonega this past winter. Juliette Chapel is such an intimate cozy venue, and as the photographer, I absolutely loved all the natural light that poured in through the chapel’s windows.
My bride and groom opted out of having a bridal party, and instead chose to get ready for their day with a few close friends. Then they did a first look and exchanged private vows in the chapel, which was extremely sweet and emotional to capture.
Hannah and her husband were visiting Atlanta last fall from Ohio to rest and reset. The #1 thing Hannah wanted to do while in Atlanta was to take couples pictures in the city and I’m so glad I was able to help them out with that for this downtown Atlanta rooftop couples session. Hannah is actually a photographer herself, (you can find her over at https://www.joyflarephoto.com/) hit her up if you’re ever in the Ohio area 🙂 I am always so honored when another photographer reaches out to me for photos, and this was no exception.
Since they were from out of town, Hannah asked for my opinion on locations, and we headed downtown to one of my favorite Atlanta parking decks that has a gorgeous view of the SkyView Ferris Wheel.
Aura and Edward’s July wedding was full of so much love and joy—it truly reflected their personalities. The theme was summer romance and Aura absolutely hit the nail on the head with all of her design choices. We spent a peaceful morning getting ready in her childhood home, laughing and giggling with her girlies. Then we zipped off to Relic 15 Studio in Buford to take portraits. The white wall studio was a gorgeous location choice, especially considering the heat of Georgia summers. After we finished up all of our portraits, we headed to Betos Tacos in Lawrenceville for lunch, which is Aura and Edward’s favorite lunch spot and a popular date for them. I absolutely love how Aura and Edward made time for everything that was most important to them on their wedding day (I will also always be excited about tacos!!).
Last summer, I had the absolute pleasure of doing an in-home newborn session for my old college roommate, Sammy and her husband Ben. It was such a special and heartwarming experience! Being able to capture those precious moments of her little one in the comfort of their own home just made it all the more intimate and personal.
One of the things I love most about in-home newborn sessions is that they truly capture the essence of the family’s daily life. It’s not just about posing the baby in cute outfits and capturing those “perfect” shots. It’s about telling a story, documenting the real moments of love, tenderness, and joy that fill the home. We even got their dog involved which was so sweet 🥹
Spring is a wonderful time for engagement photos, especially if you love waterfalls and outdoor adventures. Last spring, I had the opportunity to capture a playful and romantic engagement session at Toccoa Falls, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. The photos truly capture the essence of the couple and exude a sense of joy and love.
Toccoa Falls provided the perfect backdrop for this engagement session. With its majestic waterfall cascading down from a height of over 180 feet, it created a stunning and picturesque setting. It had been on my bucket list to shoot at Toccoa Falls for a while, and the lush greenery and vibrant colors of spring added to the overall beauty of the location, making it well worth the wait.
Today marks exactly one year since I traveled to Lyons, Colorado to shoot Meghan + Simon’s gorgeous fall wedding at The Farmette. Ever since chatting with Meghan initially and after shooting their engagement session that past fall, I started literally counting down the days for their wedding! Colorado is one of my favorite states to visit—the scenery is breathtaking and I have a few friends in the area, who I’ll take any chance to see. If you’d like to book me for your Colorado wedding you can reach out here.
Summer evenings are a perfect time to capture intimate and quiet moments during engagement sessions. These sessions are special because they allow couples to express their love and emotion in a serene setting. For Jen and Montana’s engagement session, we chose a quiet park by their house in Flowery Branch, Georgia and we had the absolute perfect evening together. The warm, gentle light of the setting sun added a magical touch to the photographs and gave us the perfect glow.
Alex and Becca’s spring wedding at The Foxglove in Marietta, Georgia was the absolute perfect day. After I shot their giggly engagement session that past winter, I knew their wedding day would be one of my favorites. Looking through these photos to put their blog post together made me smile so big. There were so many sweet moments of the day, and the Foxglove provided the perfect backdrop. I absolutely ADORE their bridal suite, and the photos of Alexa and Becca reading their private vows to each other are some of my favorites. And let’s not forget about Becca’s dress—the bows on the straps, are we kidding!! So so stunning.
