The JOURNAL

I’m not sure if I’ve ever laughed during a ceremony as much as I did during Melissa & JJ’s wedding ceremony. Between their friend who officiated and then another friend that got up and spoke….. they had everyone laughing and y’all it was so much fun to witness! It was also fun to hear both […]

Erin & Preston were married in November and it was the sweetest day. They were married at Prince of Peace Catholic Church and a few hours later celebrated with family & friends at Artisan Traders. Erin & Preston may not love being the center of attention but one thing I’ve realized after photographing their engagement […]

I’m going to come right out and say it… this post may be longer in both words and photos than most… and if you’ll keep reading you’ll find out why!! I’ve known Erika since she was a senior in high school ten(ish) years ago. I first photographed her for her senior portraits and over the […]

A few weeks ago I met up with Hunter & Drew in downtown Spartanburg for their engagement session and y’all…. it was windy but soooo much fun!! I love having these two in front of my camera!!! We did a just for fun session a few years ago and back in August, Drew had me […]

When I received Madison & Chris’ inquiry and saw October 29th, 2020 I did a double take because well… it was a Thursday. Even in a year as different as this one Thursday weddings still aren’t normal so I’m pretty sure I double checked the date with her before I said I was available and […]

On October 24th I headed to Jeter Mountain Farms for Amy & Hayden’s wedding day.  For a day that was expected to be a total washout according to the forecast all week it ended up being next to perfect!! We had a few sprinkles right after their first look and then as I was leaving […]

You may recognize this sweet friend of mine! Over five years ago she reached out to me about interning with me and since then she’s become a dear friend! Earlier this year she was home in Spartanburg and we did her college senior photos. During the session she asked if I’d be down In Charleston […]
