AUTHENTICITY OVER EVERYTHING
We live in a world where it’s far too easy to make fake look great. It’s why every single photo on this website and especially the stories below are filled with nothing but real photos of real clients. No styled shoots, no gimiicks, no pinterest page inspired work - just the most recent, most raw, and most real moments happening in my life and the lives of our clients lately.

TIME TOGETHER. Lauren + Zach's Wedding Story
Some of the most dynamic couple's photos coming out of our cameras in Arkanas in a long time. This wedding was absolutely amazing along with a dream team of vendor friends and one gorgeous couple. // “To love is never just to love since it is also to will to love, and ... to love in spite of oneself, to allow oneself to be overcome by one’s love.” —Jean-Paul Sartre

LOST AND FOUND IN VERMONT
There's cell phone service here. No GPS. Dirt roads and slow speed limits. There's so many reasons to enjoy a weekend in this place and we've found the perfect place to do it and the perfect reason to be here. // "Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself." -UNKNOWN

Perfectly Matched. Sarah + Matt's Wedding Story
A friendship 11 years old and a family with so many ties. This wedding was a huge honor for me to be a part of and a big blessing to get to witness. //"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”
“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving” ― Kahlil Gibran

A LONG TIME COMING. Natalie + Blake Wedding Story
These two have been together for longer than Melissa and I have even known each other. Young love is an incredible thing and this wedding was beyond special. // “And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.” ―Kahlil Gibran

WEDDING STORY . Jess + Jordan
LET YOURSELF BE SILENTLY DRAWN BY THE STRONGER PULL OF WHAT YOU REALLY LOVE - RUMI

LONG ISLAND BEAUTIFUL. JILLIAN + SPENCER. NEW YORK WEDDING STORY
Back up in New York with another gorgeous bride and another awesome groom. Only this one may have actually raised the bar a bit. Jillian + Spencer have been amazing from the first conversation but their wedding day was torn right out of a magazine.

WRITTEN IN INK. NICOLE + ERIK'S CONNECTION SESSION
Several tattoos, multiple locations, a little adventure and one of the most beautiful couples I've ever worked with. This whole shoot was flawless. // “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

PLAYING IN THE RAIN. CAMI + SAM'S CONNECTION SESSION
"I don't care if my clothes get wet... I'm pretty sure they get wet every time I wash them." - Cami // When you have a couple that is this beautiful together along side having an incredible attitude and outlook on photos and then throw in a rainy day and a waterfall - you're bound to walk away with incredible photos... And we did.

FROM THE INSIDE. STEPHANIE + COLLIN'S WEDDING STORY
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. - Robert Frost // When a friend get's married you're always happy to be a part of it. When that friend is one of the best wedding planners you know the pressure is on. When you have friends that are this talented you buckle up, smile a lot, and enjoy having talented people around you setting you up to be successful. This wedding was a dream and most of that was due to the bride and the friends she's made being an incredible part of this industry.

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY. Morgan + Trey Wedding Story
"A heart in love with beauty never grows old." - Turkish Proverb // A morning full of rain, an afternoon full of sun, an entire day full of gorgeous. This wedding was so beautiful and so simple - but perfect for Morgan + Trey.

FEELS LIKE FILM. WEDDING STORY. COURTNEY + DOM
"THAT WAS SO US" - Dominic Smith // This wedding was a photographer's DREAM. Probably because the bride is a photographer who works with a wedding planner who's married to a guy with a food truck at a venue perfectly designed for incredible photos.

MARCH ON NYC . Black Lives Matter
"An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind." - Dr. Martin Luther King

SUNRISE IN BROOKLYN. NATASHA + BRIAN CONNECTION
What were you doing at 4:30 this morning? Max and I were walking down 5th avenue trying to find a Subway station to head down towards the Brooklyn Bridge where we'd catch up with Natasha + Brian just before sunrise. This session, with one of the most photogenic couples I've ever seen, in one of the most iconic locations in the United States, just happened to be wrapped in the most perfect light possible. // "There is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless." Simone Beauvoir

Focused on Christ. Emily + Andrew's Wedding Story
"Draw me after you and let us run..." Song of Solomon 1:4
Easily one of the most uniquely special weddings I've ever seen. This entire day was spent in prayer and this couple was as focused on giving God the credit for their love as they were in committing their lives to each other. One of the most amazing couple's sessions I've ever been a part of and one of my favorite whole days in a long time.

Courtney. Bridal Beautiful. Dancing in the Rain
"That love is all there is is all we know of love.” - Emily Dickinson
An entire bridal shoot shot in the rain. Dripping cameras, muddy shoes, and amazingly beautiful moments all possible because the bride was willing to let go of her nerves and simply be present in the moment.

BROOKE + MAX. CONNECTION.
"Love is an act of endless forgiveness. A tender look which becomes a habit.” - Peter Ustinov // An afternoon spent like so many of mine are with Max. Only this one was a little different. This time he was on the other side of the camera with his incredible girlfriend Brooke.

Dallas Wedding Story. Hanna + Jeff
“The artist never entirely knows — We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark” -Agnes de Mille // This dallas wedding was incredible! Hanna + Jeff are so much fun together and from the very first song the dancefloor was packed. The whole day was a blast.
