Two Weeks Away | personal

For the past three years, I have watched so many of your journeys from newly engaged to blushing bride to settled newlywed. Your weddings have inspired me – in their creative and personal touches (Kevin + Kelly), meaningful ceremonies (Barry + Casey), laidback simplicity and authentic love (Carter + Stephanie), and ridiculously fun parties (Eric + Tara). For the past several months, the incredible couples I meet through my job have been a huge inspiration as I have planned my wedding with my fiance, Luke. I am so thankful for your emails of congratulation, meetings that turn into sharing wedding planning stories over Starbucks, and a deeper understanding of what y’all are feeling now that I am there too!

It is a huge honor to be able to share in so many of your journeys as you enter your special day – it is hard to believe that mine is so close! Tomorrow marks one week from my wedding, so please forgive me if emails aren’t answered as quickly as usual or my phone is turned off during my honeymoon! Lindsey will be checking all of the Motion Picture Co emails while I’m away, so don’t hesitate to share what is going on in your wedding journey! I’m excited to watch all of you get married this summer, and photograph it to boot!

Wish me luck – and see you girls on the other side!

David + Valerie | married sneak peek

This weekend Maddie & I had the privilege of shooting David + Valerie’s wedding downtown! As soon as we arrived Valerie was ready to get her dress on! David + Valerie were surrounded by friends and family who supported them, toasted to them, and raved about them. After the ceremony overlooking the river, everyone ate and danced the night away. Typically our couples leave for their honeymoon before I write this post, but David + Valerie have postponed their honeymoon since they are closing on a house at the end of the month! What an exciting time for them! Enjoy this sneak peek of their day!

Valerie’s beautiful dress was from Monica’s, Goetz catering provided the delicious food (including pecan-crusted chicken, now a new favorite), Grafe Studios provided the gorgeous flower arrangements, and the Zan Guerry Clubhouse at Manker Patten hosted us all!

Jessi + Josh | engaged

This weekend Maddie & I met up with Jessi + Josh at their wedding venue, the rustic Barn at High Point Farms for their engagement session!  The barn has so many quaint touches, we had a blast just exploring it! Jessi + Josh have been together a while now and you can tell their love is very understanding and natural – even if Jessi claims to not be lovey-dovey!

We hope you love your images, guys! See you in June!

Thanks for all the farm-animal wrangling, Maddie!
