Radiant, golden, joy-filled babes with their precious, happy, golden doodle - what could be better?! 🧡☀️

25/08/2021

A bit of advice for my babes: take the risk. Don't hold back. Dance in the rain and kiss your love. You'll only wear that dress once. Embrace the day with your whole heart -- I promise, you won't regret it. 💃🏽✨

“Cause you’re my golden hour, the color of my sky. You set my world on fire, and I know everything’s gonna be alright.” - Kacey Musgraves
A+T and their whole magical day set MY soul on fire; their radiant love, willingness to explore. Their tangible stoke and excitement. I could swoon forever, but I’ll just let y’all scroll ✨

When literally ALL the BEST things happen during an engagement session: wildflowers, floofy puppy snuggles, golden sunset frolics - my heart can hardly HANDLE IT!! ✨

Who knew that sunshine and wheatfields could bring us to tears?! It rained all morning on E + Z's day, and none of us could tell what the summer storm had up her sleeve. With the ceremony moments away, the sun decided to finally grace us with her presence and kiss us all with her golden rays. As a photographer, all we can do is hope and pray for the absolute best day for our babes; and with the sun peeking out, the golden fields of wheat glowing all around, and these precious souls celebrating their love, wrapped in sweet relief - these seemingly small victories totally took our breath away ✨🌾

Woodland royalty meets mountaintop magic during Friday’s etherial fairyland wedding!! Colorful floral dreams came true by , mismatched bridesmaids gowns danced all around the valley, Celia’s bridal cape flowed in the breeze, the sweetest sentimental details were set all around , and so much love radiated out of these babes. Choosing ONLY 10 pictures to share was a real struggle - see the magic for yourselves ✨🌸

No matter how wild and uncertain the world may be, I can always count on the power of love and sunsets to ground me and keep me going ✨

Now THAT'S the way to go out with a BANG!! Mia + Alan's romantic riverside wedding was the most ethereal, laid-back and lovely way to FINALLY celebrate their journey!! We're all still floating on the cool breezes of yesterday's bliss, and I'm psyched out of my mind to know these two 🌞🌊

Spring wedding season has officially started and it’s nothing short of magical!!! From stunning florals, to chasing waterfalls, to the most precious vows - I can’t believe this wasn’t all a dream! Scroll and swoon over Syd + Sam and all the sweetness of their day 💐 ✨

The good stuff. The real stuff. Your inside jokes and quirks, the way you look at each other. Of course I LOVE epic mountain views, crazy cliffs, and wildflowers - but those precious quiet moments that only you two know and share is what makes my heart and soul overflow with joy ✨

Just a reminder: I FREAKIN LOVE urban chic dreamy edgy weddings!!! I know I shoot primarily in nature, but y’all my heart stops when I get the chance to switch things up and document magic like this!! Jamie + Xyan’s design, style, and vibe is the stuff of dreams; a rooftop First Look overlooking the Capitol, emerald accents everywhere, their ceremony in a raw and stunning distillery, and a wild dance party for the books. Got city vibes in your heart? Let’s do this 💚

I gotta be real for a second: February was rough, y’all!! It was so cold, rainy, and I only had one shoot during that whole dark month. And then, March arrived and I met Autumn + Miguel; two of the most radiant people I've had the honor of photographing - and it was exactly what my soul needed. I cannot describe how contagious their laughter is, their love for one another, and the sheer joy these two exude - despite the fact that it was 30 degrees outside!! - and I left with my cup overflowing with gratitude. I love my job, I'm so immensely grateful for you all, and I cannot wait to keep celebrating you beautiful humans.

YES, it WAS as cold as it looks - but these two are the real MVPs!! B+E's elopement was an absolute BLAST: we ran around the mountaintops, skated across the frozen forest floor, laughed about the fact that B's dress was literally completely ICE at the bottom (and made the funniest clinking sound as it hit the ground!), popped champagne in the snow, and danced around the dreamiest surprise sunset. I cannot wait to share more from their stunning day - until then, scroll and rest assured: if you want a winter wonderland wedding, summon your Elsa vibes and it'll be freakin rad!

19/02/2021

Forever swooning over all you babes - and today, these two are coming up on one year being married! Scroll and soak up the pure magic that was B + P's sultry southern boho bliss 🌾
