This past fall I found myself in the east side of the state pretty often. This Saturday in September was spent in Fayetteville, North Carolina at Cape Fear Botanical Gardens. Blair and Khalil are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met and this whole day was a reflection of their calm demeanor. We kicked […]

A summer wedding in the pavilion. When I photographed Carrie and Cam’s engagement photos back in December of 2020, I quickly learned they were Rock Hill celebrities.

One of the things I have most looked forward to with this year’s weddings is all the new venues I’ve gotten to explore. Nestled on a 112 acre tree farm near Lake Norman, The Arbors Events offers a Napa Valley feel while never leaving North Carolina.  The property is covered in gorgeous florals, twinkling lights, […]

Let me tell y’all about Hannah and Matt.  This April day had the most perfect weather and I had the best time exploring a venue that was new to me.  If you’re not familiar with Tipsy Goat Estate, this house’s bricks date back to the pre-Civil War era and the back of the house still […]

I met Kaylee during my last year teaching and it was during that school year when I started hearing about her new boyfriend, Reid.  Kaylee’s eyes would light up every time she talked about Reid, and before long she said she would be calling me for photos in the future.  Flash forward almost two years, […]
