they spent seven years as best friends before their first date 🥹 and it’s no surprise that their wedding day felt exactly like their story does…

intentional, joyful, and centered around what mattered most 💘

like their private vows that had us all in tears
or quiet moments together right after their ceremony
vintage plates chloe thoughtfully thrifted for each guest (!!)
the happy tears and laughter and pizza shared with everyone who knows them best
and a dance floor packed with all their favorite people

the entire day felt intentional in alll the best ways 🥹 and such a beautiful reminder that the best weddings are the ones that bring you back to what matters most — being fully present with the people you love

they just need to feel like 𝑦𝑜𝑢!!

and this one absolutely did ✨

Two people, eighty-eight acres, and an hour of light that felt like it was made for them.

We've been growing this place for a long time. Days like this are why. 🌿💍

my take on this trend 🤭

somehow she grew up to have the coolest job in the world 🥹 I think she’d be proud of this life we built

kaleb and caitlin wanted something moody, romantic and so perfectly them ✨

when I found out they love estate sales, antique hauls, dates at the museum and the quiet magic of historic spaces? instant connection 😌 those kind of places inspire me too — so starting at Hoyt Sherman just made sense!

and it was a dreammm 🏛️✨

this year has been a major season of becoming ✨ in life, in biz and in ways I’m still processing honestly

heading into my 10th year of photography has me reflecting on just how much this journey has shaped me 🥲 and how the one thing that hasn’t EVER changed is the JOY this work brings into my life!!!

I’m SO proud of what I’ve been creating lately, and I’m ready to start sharing it again 🫶🏼
