Falling in love with a military man, Kelsey knew their fairytale wedding may end up a little different than she had originally hoped or planned for. When Jonathan got word that he would have to leave sooner than expected, Kelsey couldn’t imagine her life without him and really didn’t want to be apart for such a long period of time right before their wedding! The decision was simple for both of them, they loved each other so much and really only wanted to be together, so they would elope!
Same college, same circles of friends, same city to settle down in, same place of work, yet these two precious people kept missing each other by the slightest bit of time. UNTIL....
It's not too often you find a couple willing to brave 20 degree weather with you, or wake up at the crack of dawn, just so you can shoot at a specific location (even if it is super dreamy)! Anna on the other hand was ALL FOR IT the moment I told her about the idea!
You know when you meet someone and you’re like omg this girl is freaking awesome… that was totally me when I met Mandi! So this totally sounds like a love story but there’s nothing like the love and friendship between a wedding photographer and her bride and groom.
Bailey, the love and passion you have for your little girl is so obvious and radiates when you care for her or talk about her. It’s amazing to see someone I grew up with become such an amazing mommy, you’re truly an inspiration! I’m so happy I was able to freeze time for a moment to capture some sweet photographs of your baby that I know you’ll cherish forever (even the ones with a teddy graham covered face)!
Pink tutus, champagne, confetti, balloons, a pink cake, macaroons and so much more… It’s every girl’s dream as they imagine what their 21st birthday will be like…
Have you ever walked into a room of strangers and immediately felt like a member of the family? This past Saturday that's exactly how my amazing bride, groom, and their sweet families made me feel! This one big happy family was the epitome of kind and caring southern people, which is so reassuring in this crazy world we live in today. Not only were they the nicest people EVER (I'm not kidding I'll get to all that in a second), but this place was gorgeous!!!! The house was stunning with beautiful views of sail boats on Lanier Lake, a massive swirl shaped pool, with- get this- a precious stone bridge going from one side of the pool to the other... right in front of the views of Lanier...

First off, how adorable are these two?! Madeline and Jesse were the winners of the Facebook drawing a couple of weeks ago. We were finally able to get together last week to shoot their dreamy golden hour shoot! I worked with Madeline earlier this year when she volunteered to model for my wedding styled shoot, which can be found in my portfolio. I'm so happy to now call her one of my sweet friends. Madeline is so kind hearted and giggly, the moment she walks in a room she can get everyone smiling and laughing! I'm not kidding when I say I was smiling nearly every time I fired the shutter during our session. This was the first time I had the opportunity to meet her boyfriend Jesse, from the moment they got out of the car I knew this session was going to be a blast! Madeline and Jesse had my style guide I sent them before the session to go along with their usual top notch style, and let me tell you they looked AMAZING; I'm talking model status! From the second I started posing them their love just shined through the images... I think I was more excited than them! It's always a blast to shoot with two people who are truly in love and like to be goofy with each other! Madeline and Jesse were a blast to work with the entire shoot even through the heat and my crazy posing techniques.
