Lauren + John Bridals - Crane Cottage, Jekyll Island
Hurricane Matthew rolled into the Golden Isles during Lauren and John's wedding day. Fortunately, they were still able to have a great ceremony elsewhere.
They still wanted to celebrate their marriage on the beautiful island where they had originally planned to. Crane Cottage is also where her parents got married! Oh, I love sweet family traditions. I was so glad to recreate their day and in such beautiful weather.
Every detail down to the groom's boutonniere was beautifully recreated thanks to The Vine. I can't get over those sassy flower girls.
The only day that both the bride and groom's families were all together to retake photos was THANKSGIVING! It's not the first time I've worked on a holiday and it will certainly not be the last because I love being there for my clients. I am so happy to do what I can to make their photo experience easy and wonderful. And it's not work when you love what you do, right? <3
Mr. + Mrs. Tindol - St. Simons Island Wedding
Katie and Luke are the most lovely and humble people. It was an honor to document their love story. The settings they chose only enhanced just how delightful they are.
The bridal party got ready at St. Simons Community Church. It's always a fun time hiding the bride and groom from each other. I love when they each have love letters for each other.
What a powerful scene to see the parents get up and pray with their children under this handmade cross. You also can't beat that the marshy backdrop.
The live oaks of this island never disappoint for some beautiful formals. At the Avenue of the Oaks we were able to recreate images that Katie's m\mom at taken on her wedding day.
Good home cookin' was on the menu at one of the island's best restaurants. After carving into the personalized cake, the couple danced the night away.
Thank you Katie + Luke for letting me be a part of this beautiful day!

Feliz Día De Los Muertos
The food, the colors, the meaning behind it all.. I love the Mexico's Day of the Dead, the holiday that celebrates the lives of loved ones. Had to decorate the house with some Catrinas.
Thanks to Autry for letting me attempt the skull makeup. I think his mystical hair makes up for it. :p
Check the animated movie "The Book of Life" It's beautifully illustrated and retells the traditions of Día De Los Muertos in a magical way. This movie should be up there with Frozen.
For more about this holiday, Elena of Avalor can surely fill you in. Watch the video below!
Elena is the best.

Congratulations Angela and Michael! Your baby boy is a joy!
Becky + Logan Engagement - Spokane, WA
I've known Becky since I was 10 years old and she's been my "Sea-Star" ever since. I'm beyond excited that she has found somebody that matches her compassion and adventurous spirit. Logan, take care of my girl. It was great getting to know you as we walked around downtown Spokane and took advantage of the Chinese parade decorations. :D
Katie + Luke - Engagement Session at the Harbor
“I never liked country before him, but now I listen to it when I want to think of him. It reminds me of summer love, driving in a truck with the windows down, and hanging by a river. As cheesy as that sounds, it is true.”
Besides fabulous color-coordinating skills, the things that fuel Katie + Luke's relationship are eating good food together, laughter, and support/ encouragement.
How and where did he propose?
He surprised me (which was awesome) by driving down to SSI and showing up to dinner that I thought was supposed to be with my family. We were going to eat at the Raw Bar on Jekyll, and there he was standing/shaking by a beautiful oak near the marsh. It was perfection honestly.
Congrats, you two!
