Does anyone else have those days where you have to pinch yourself to see if you’re dreaming? Friday was that day for me. Once I decided to move to Arizona, I fantasized about desert golden hour weddings and magical backdrops. Alexandra & Chase’s elopement was picture perfect and one that I will be thinking about for a loooooong time.

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been living my southwestern dreams for a whole week now. I still have to pinch myself when I wake up to make sure this is actually my life. Can’t wait to start shooting weddings and mix romance with this gorgeous backdrop 🌵

I have a bittersweet two weeks until I begin my journey to Arizona. I’m going to miss these mossy oak lined streets but I could not be more excited to have mountains and saguaros in my backyard 🥹🫶🏻

Love these pretty pink details 💖

My personal style when it comes to clothes has always been dark and neutral— catch me in a black dress with boots all year round. However, I gotta admit that pink is one of my favorite colors, especially lighter shades like this! Maybe Barbie really is onto something 🤔🌷

Sometimes I might ask you to walk onto a dock while you’re in a dress and heels. Trust the process 🤩

I have been LOVING simple & classic dress silhouettes lately… not only do they photograph well and fall perfectly, but they amplify the beauty of every bride, like Hayley 😍🤍

My new website is LIVE!! 🎉 As many of you already know, I’m packing up my life and moving out to Arizona in a couple of months. I wanted a fresh start for my business and website that reflects the kind of work I want to produce. I worked so very hard on it, I hope you all love it!!

Can't believe I never shared these! Some faves from a mock GQ Groomsmen ad I shot earlier this year. Thanks to the team for pulling my vision together! 😇

I loooooove a ring shot 🤩 I’m like a magpie, anything shiny will catch my eye and I can’t stop staring! That just might be the reason I collect rocks & crystals 💎

This Old Savannah Trolley was the PERFECT backdrop for Katie & Read! Such a classic look that puts them in the spotlight 🚋✨

Always daydreaming about the magical Middleton Place. As soon as I stepped foot onto this property my jaw dropped. I was overwhelmed with gorgeous European views combined with the lowcountry greenery. Sheep wandering the expansive lawn and the prettiest swans floating around were the cherries on top.

If you are considering a wedding here, I would love to chat with you about your vision and bring both of our dreams to life!

Summer is considered an off season for wedding photographers, but believe it or not, this is the time that I’m the most busy! When families are vacationing to the beautiful south, how could they NOT want photographs to commemorate?

The Eisinger family brought me out to Seabrook Island for this adorable little session! What a picture-perfect day 😍💛
