Julie & Tyler met through mutual friends and being active in their small community of RockyMount.
Last year, for Christmas, Tyler gave Julie tickets to go see Miranda Lambert in Charleston, S.C. While there, one morning they went to Middleton Place Plantation for a fun morning and he asked a couple to take their picture. Julie was getting frustrated cause she didn’t want to walk all the way across the garden for a picture, but little did she know, halfway there was Tyler and he was down on one knee!

Where do I even begin with how awesome this wedding was?
Katie & Scott’s story is so sweet. They first met through a mutual friend and Katie’s matron of honor, Brooke. Scott and Brooke were coworkers and she had been telling Scott about Katie for a while. The night of Brooke’s bachelorette party, the girls were out dancing when Scott showed up with a friend and the two were introduced. Katie had no idea that Scott even existed until then. It didn’t take too long before these two became inseparable.

Megan & Logan are such a fun couple! As you can see from the images, the engagement session was a blast! After only one month that they were dating, they attended their first wedding where Megan was one of the bridesmaids. Since then, they have attended about 35 weddings together!!!!
Now finally they are ready to soon celebrate and dance the whole night through their wedding in October!

I’ve seen some incredible weddings but this one was simply magical. Alexa & Jason met through mutual friends while attending Virginia Tech. They had a large, tight-knit group of friends during undergrad. They all spent time playing board games and having Harry Potter movie marathons. During Christmas break of their freshman year, the group planned a trip to Harry Potter World in Orlando, FL where these two bonded. By the time school started back up the next semester, they were dating.

I met with Allison & Matt for their engagement session at Virginia Tech. It’s such a gorgeous venue to get some incredible shots. From the beautiful architecture to the park and ponds, there are so many great backdrops. This couple was such a joy to work with. They were just so natural together. I absolutely loved that about them. We did get a little bit of rain during the shoot but nothing an umbrella can’t stop! Plus, the umbrella shots are just too cute.

Sarah & Nick are such a fun, loving couple. This entire day was so easy to shoot because these two were incredible to work with! Hanging out with their friends and family all day was just a bonus.
Sarah is such a sweetheart. Growing up, her grandma had the greenest thumb and grew these incredibly huge gardens that sound like something from a fairytale. Thanks to her grandma, Sarah grew up always loving flowers. Looking at her bouquet alone, it showed. This bouquet was gorgeous! Sarah knew she wanted purple flowers so that also helped with the color theme for the wedding as they chose shades of purple.

Margaret & Jon’s story goes all the way back to the college years where a mutual friend first introduced them. Fast forward to the closing day of their new home, Jon began to bring up where they came from, where they are now, and how he was excited to see where they would go in the future. That was the day he proposed. And what a wonderful way to do so.

Jennifer & Jim were introduced through their mutual friend, Gretchen. The two met for the first time at Blue 5 for some cocktails. Jennifer was new in town and hardly knew anyone but Jim on the other hand seemed to know everyone! That night, Jennifer was introduced to several of Jim’s friends and family members that also happened to be there. A few days later, the two had a proper dinner date and then another date hiking to Devil’s Marble Yard. Three years later and here they are!
Your love story deserves to be told authentically, with emotional storytelling and connection. Your special day should be a reflection of your uniqueness. I capture moments as they unfold naturally, no forced smiles, just pure beautiful emotions, with an editorial touch to make each image timeless.
