John and Jodi's wedding this past weekend was all things regal and elegant. The ceremony took place at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and every little detail was handmade and perfect. From the beautiful centerpieces and bouquet's to the custom newspapers, every aspect of their day uniquely showed off this beautiful couple and the love that they have for each other. The brunch reception also featured a Celtic dance Troupe, and a traditional Unity Goblet (which we are still

We had the opportunity this past weekend to witness Katie & Anthony tie the know, and I am so grateful that they let us be a part of their big day! These two are so in love, and were so excited to be married that you can't help but also be excited when you are around them! The day began at Sandy Ridge Baptist Church where Katie and Anthony got ready. Before the ceremony the two had an intimate (and tear filled) prayer together. The ceremony was led by Katie's brother Micah, a

We met up with Travis and Krista this past week, where we soaked in the wonderful warm weather, and took advantage of the beautiful backdrops of Dennis Vineyards. I cannot wait for these two to tie the knot this fall!! #vineyard #engagement #engagementring #spring #sunset #nature #reflection

So I have been dying to show this session since the moment we met up last month to shoot Katie's bridal portraits. Not only is Katie just gorgeous all the time, but the combination of that + her dress + the incredible weather that we got, just makes my heart jump for joy! I mean, how often of you get a breathtaking sunset AND a double rainbow? Their wedding yesterday was equally as beautiful and i can't wait to share it! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Deese!

If you know me at all, you know that I love bright colors, playing with reflections and any excuse to wear costumes... so when The Virgilio's mentioned that they wanted to do a Robin Hood themed session I was pretty much in heaven! We had two handsome Robin Hood's and two lovely Maid Marian's,who were also pretty handy with a bow and arrow!

It was over a year ago that I met with Ashley and CJ for their engagement session and knew then that their wedding was going to be nothing short of fantastic. I mean anytime you have a couple willing to climb into mud-waiders and play with guns for their session, you know that you are in for a good time! Their afternoon ceremony took place at Dixie Dreams Farms along the river, and was followed by an evening reception where we saw some AMAZING dance moves, delicious food, and

Yasha and I started planning this shoot a couple of months ago. I was pretty excited about it then (because these two are hilarious and amazing and make my heart happy). Three days before this session I got an email from Cody, who let me know about his diabolical plan to propose during this session and I was then incredibly excited for this shoot! We met up at Millbridge in Waxhaw and got some fun shots of these two being fun and happy (While Austin was pretending to second s

I had the privilege of watching two old friends tie the knot this past weekend in Calgary. I had gone to high school with Chelsea, and worked as a barista at Starbucks with Justin, which is coincidentally where these two met. Their beautiful ceremony was at the Lantern Church, followed by photos all around town with ruins, skylines and Starbucks as backdrops. The evening reception was full of laughter, dancing and a sparkler sendoff! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Froess! #Calgar

I met up with the beautiful Anderson family last week during my trip back home to Alberta. The weather was AMAZING so i got to take advantage of the beautiful open prairie skies that I miss so much, I was also sort of obsessed with little Laura's showstopping big blue eyes! #Calgary #sky #familyportrait #nature #portrait

I met up with the Birthday Boy and his momma this past week for the messiest cake smash session ever. I have never seen anyone love getting into the cake as much as this little guy! He absolutly nailed it! Afterwards we cleaned up with a bubble bath. So much fun! #children #cake #nature #studio #Calgary
