this was so much fun! 📸 LYNDIE & KARSON met me for some peak fall photos before they say “I do” early next year! the leaves were perfect, but these two totally upstaged them 🍂

oh my goodness 🤩

i looked forward to PAIGE & DON's October wedding for so long and it was so much better than i could have dreamed ... my heart became totally invested in these two and their circle of people as this day unfolded! absolutely THE most beautiful details, but that was completely one-upped by the sweet couple and the way they spent their day with each other and their family & friends. SO much love and joy all around. CONGRATULATIONS guys, wishing you a lifetime of happiness together ❤️

as always, a wonderful vendor team:

if football wasn't the main goal, he could totally be a model! RIVER is a handsome, kind, smart (and tall) young man with a great work ethic ❤️ the first time i spent a little time with him was when he was 4 years old and he insisted on doing chores at my house 😝 it was so fun to see him grown up, but still with the same put-me-to-work attitude towards life! also, i love his mama, so it was a blessing and a blast to get to take these senior pics with them!

congrats RIVER, i'm excited to see this next chapter unfold for you 👏🏻 🎓 🏈

congratulations SEDONA & CHRIS on an amazing wedding day ❤️ >>> it was truly one of the sweetest and every detail was so beautiful!

it was extra special for me to be a part of this day since SEDONA taught my boys how to swim when they were teeny tiny and spent time with them when we needed a sitter. her mom has made nearly all our cakes for birthdays and big occasions (including newcomer WYATT's) ...and her brother shared a love for cars with DREW when they were just teenagers with cool cars 🤗

i also loved getting to meet CHRIS ... both of them were a complete joy to be around and photograph!

EMILY and I have captured so many weddings together and so it's no surprise that hers felt extra special to us both.
