The best thing about taking pictures for your friends, is that you can make a day out of it if you want, and that’s exactly what we did for Cristina and Mj’s downtown Chattanooga engagement session. My husband, Ryan, came with me and we all met up for brunch at Stir- they have the best chicken and waffles and $2 mimosas so what more could you want??? After, Ryan and I went to the Chattanooga Zoo, while Cristina and MJ got ready for pictures, and then we met up by the iconic Walnut Street Bridge. Since it was a Saturday, we had to deal with CROWDS of people, but Cristina and MJ killed it and I was able to work a little photoshop magic.
Morgan and Josh’s love for each other is so special, and I loved getting to watch their family and friends celebrate the deserving couple at their wedding, hosted at Chapman Hill Events venue in Jefferson, Georgia. The three of us used to work at the gym together in college, and it’s been so fun to watch their relationship grow. It’s been an absolute honor to capture their love, from the engagement session to their wedding day. They’re always laughing together, and my hope is that you can feel their joy and love for each other exuding from these photos.
I loved taking this fall engagement session with Meghan, Simon, and their two pups. We were actually able to take the photos at a farm, in Dawsonville, Georgia, where Meghan would ride her horse. The owner was so kind to let us use their property for pictures, and I know it was super special to Meghan to take pictures in a location she loves, especially, since they were buying a house and planning a big move to Colorado. For the first part of the session, they were able to just hang out and play with their dogs which is so fun. I always want my couples to feel natural and comfortable behind the camera, and doing an activity you love together is such a good way to do that! Although when we tried to take pictures without the dogs, I don’t think the pups were too happy about that. They were always trying to wander over to join in lol. I’m so glad I was able to follow them to Colorado to shoot their wedding photos and get to see their sweet pups again!
I headed up to North Georgia with Alex and Becca to capture their gorgeous engagement photos. Sorry for the self-praise, but I’m obsessed with them as a couple and how the photos turned out. They were laughing and giggling together the whole time, and were always down for my ideas and suggestions. I hope y’all enjoy look through these as much as we enjoyed taking them!!! Also I love this location so much, the light here is just stunning!!
Louis reached out to me back in February to find a date that would work for him to surprise his girlfriend Taylor with a proposal at Chateau Elan. Taylor and I were in the same sorority back at UGA, and she had mentioned to some of our mutual friends and hinted to Louis that she would like for me to be there to capture it when he proposed. How sweet is that? ? I am always so honored to capture such big and special moments, especially when it’s for people I know.

Joely and Stephen’s wedding at The Factory at Walton Mill in Monroe Georgia was really really fun. There’s so many other words I could use to sum up their wedding day, but to me, fun seems to be the most fitting. Joely and Stephen included so many personal touches to their day, and the Factory […]

I met up with Nikki and Wesley at Arabia Mountain on a May afternoon during golden hour for their engagement session. Arabia Mountain is one of my favorite locations, because there’s an open field close by too, so you get fields and mountains. The best of both worlds if you ask me. Nikki and I […]
