Chanta + Cullen had the perfect day a couple weeks ago to get married! It had been almost two years since I had last seen them for their engagement session so it was great to catch up, meet their friends and families, and celebrate alongside everyone. Here are some sneak peeks from the day!

Let loose and be yourself during your engagement s

Let loose and be yourself during your engagement session. I guarantee you that your favorite pictures will be the ones that depict each of your personalities and showcase your relationship. I had the most fun capturing Makensie and Demetrius for that exact reason. I’m sure they were probably a little nervous at first as most people are, but it took all of 2 minutes for them to forget about the camera and just enjoy each other’s presence. 🙌🏻

You’re already getting dressed up to go out for your anniversary. Why not invite me for an hour to frolick around the city with you before dinner! 🤣

I love these sneak peeks that we just sent Caitlin and Kyle from their engagement session with one of our associates, Allie! Their personalities really showed through in all of the photos that she captured. I can’t wait to share some of their wedding photos later this December! 🙌🏻

First engagement session of 2023 and I had such a blast with these two!
I love when couples tell me before a session about how nervous they are or how awkward they are in front of the camera. And maybe in most situations they feel this way. But when we create a space for our clients to be themselves, to really love and experience each other’s presence how they normally would, that’s when the magic happens. That’s when photos truly tell a story. THEIR story.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Toppings! Megan + Dylan

Ladies and gentlemen, The Toppings! Megan + Dylan put on the classiest wedding ceremony and then had one of the most lit dance floors on the same day! So excited for these two and honored they chose us to capture it all for them and their families.

Happy New Year! We’re so excited for another yea

Happy New Year! We’re so excited for another year of capturing amazing memories for our couples! 🍾🙌🏻

Albums!!! They’re honestly one of my favorite things that we do. Albums are so important to us that we now include at least an 8”, 20 page album in ALL of our wedding packages. Digitals are obviously the main way we view and share memories these days, but having a printed story of one of the biggest days of your lives is a must. We wanted to make sure everyone received a high quality album from us that would literally last for generations.
We also offer options to upgrade your handmade wedding album to a 10”, 40 page album or a 12”, 80 page album! Engagement albums, Guest books, and parent albums are other products that many of our clients take advantage of. Shoot us a DM with any questions you may have on our albums or our other printed products!

❤️LOVE & BASKETBALL🏀
Love these two! I met them a couple years ago through a mutual friend who is in the modeling/acting industry, as they are. That’s actually why we were in the studio, getting some digitals and content for their portfolios. We had to take a few minutes for some couples portraits once we were done though and I’m glad we did!

Tehya + Colson’s wedding was one of the most beautiful and emotional wedding days of the year! The setting at @fieldsatskycrest couldn’t have been any better and between their private vow readings, Tehya’s first look with her dad, the ceremony, and first dances, there weren’t many dry eyes for most of the day. Here are a few of our favorites!
