Dalton and Grant had a fun and emotional tented coastal wedding in Oriental, NC. I was looking forward to their big day since their wonderful engagement session in Holden Beach! I knew I was in for a treat working with this sweet couple, starting from the fact that they are very family-oriented, my favorite kind of people! The day was filled with laughter and happy tears, with wonderful toasts, an excited bridal party, and guests who danced the night away.

The planning was perfectly executed by the lovely ladies at A Southern Soiree! What a joy to work with this talented team again. Below are a few photos of Dalton & Grant’s emotional day!

Lane and Parker had a wonderful rehearsal dinner at the Crab Claw in MD! Lane grew up going to this amazing restaurant by the water and it was very fitting to start the weekend celebrations there. The Crab Claw dates back to 1950 as The Eastern Shore Clam Company and a few years later it was transformed into a restaurant, becoming a St. Michaels landmark.

Lane and Parker’s loved ones gave incredible toasts and the evening was full of laughter and happy tears! The way every wedding celebration should start off. Below are a few photos, I hope you enjoy their emotional and fun day!

This past Fall I had the pleasure to photograph a gorgeous wedding at Mattie’s Green Pastures in Austin. This historic farmhouse winds back to 1893 in the heart of South Austin and it is all about Southern Hospitality. This sweet couple chose a color palette very fitting to the time of the year, muted fall tones (blush, soft orange and yellows) with hints of sage green graced every single detail. The decor was exquisite, perfectly designed and planned by Wild Sky Events. The bride wore a romantic Monique Lhuillier gown with a blush undertone that coordinated with her velvet blush shoes. Here are a few photos of their incredible day, I hope you enjoy!

I am so excited to blog about this wedding at the Argyle! I first heard about Stephen Karlisch when I was living on the East Coast, and it was an absolute pleasure to second shoot for him at this gorgeous San Antonio wedding. He is extremely talented and so much fun! It was truly a beautiful day, and every single guest had a wonderful time.
The ceremony took place at Christ Episcopal Church in the Monte Vista district of San Antonio. Christ Episcopal is over 100 years old, with elegant white arched ceilings and intricate stained glass. I had a great bird’s eye view from the balcony – the perfect perspective to catch the bride’s cathedral length veil as she made her entrance. Delicate white flower details appeared as a motif throughout the day – from appliqués on the gown to the stunning Chanel shoes, to the table linens and towering centerpieces. For the reception, the party moved to The Argyle, a private club just north of downtown San Antonio. I am obsessed with blue and white china (it’s all over my house!) so the décor really resonated with me. A mariachi band made for a lively touch, and guests danced on a gleaming white floor emblazoned with the couple’s bespoke monogram. This beautiful, artistic detail also appeared on custom pins given to each guest as they left the celebration. Such a sweet, unique gift!
It was so wonderful to work with Sweet August Events for the first time. Sweet August is a true treasure in San Antonio, I started following them on Instagram when I was still in VA and I reached out to owner/creative director Katherine Lopez as soon as I moved to town. Katherine received me with open arms, so it was such a wonderful coincidence to find that she was planning this wedding. It was a stunner! I hope you enjoy the photos.
