Ian + Marissa | New York City Engagement Photographer

I had an opportunity to shoot with best friends Ian Laskowski and Marissa Mulder on our recent trip to New York City. Not only are they beautiful people, but they are unbelievably sweet and genuine. We started early in the morning on the Brooklyn Bridge and then headed over to the South Street Seaport, two of my favorite places in the city. I loved every minute shooting with them - even if it was incredibly chilly outside. Thank you both for braving the cold. I'm just head-over-heels in love with this session!

Kaci + Brad | Alabama Wedding Photographer

I shot Kaci and Brad's wedding with Jenny Lindsey at the Turtle Point Yacht and Country Club down in Alabama. It was a gorgeous day and the lakeside setting was the perfect location for an afternoon wedding. Kaci planned a truly elegant affair with many details including a string quartet, handmade signs, candy buffet and an antique car to whisk the couple away. Here are just a few of my many favorites from the day:

Stacey + Jimmy | Thompson's Station Wedding Photographer

I shot Stacey and Jimmy's wedding at an estate in Thompson's Station with Jenny Lindsey. It had just about every element that I absolutely love about weddings: a couple oh-so-in-love, crisp fall weather, a gorgeous outdoor location and every detail planned perfectly, right down to the bride's lovely red shoes. 

Stacey and Jimmy both support the arts, so this played a huge role in their wedding day. Several of their musically-talented friends participated in the ceremony, including an incredible acoustic guitar duo and a men's a cappella choir. Jimmy is also a part of a men's quartet, so he couldn't let the day go by without serenading his bride. Add in a personalized set of beautifully-worded wedding vows and there wasn't a dry eye in sight. 

But most of all, I loved Stacey and Jimmy's evident faith, intricately woven throughout their entire day. They even chose to forgo traditional favors and make a donation to World Vision in honor of their guests. 

There's no question that there's an incredible future ahead for Stacey and Jimmy. I'm just so blessed I was able to share some of these special moments with them.
