Becca + Nick - Cincinnati, OH Wedding

Becca and Nick were so fun to work with. I was super excited for another opportunity to be in Cincinnati, since I had so much fun last time I was there. These two put me up in an incredible hotel that I probably enjoyed way too much. On the day of the wedding we searched for a secluded spot to do their first look. Poor Becca was so nervous! I found this little alcove off the hotel courtyard. I thought it had pretty light, and it was the only place in the whole hotel where they could have a private moment. Their first look was so sweet. They were so clearly excited to see each other. 

Everyone eating their lunches and playing games in the courtyard applauded Nick and Becca as they emerged from our little first look spot. 

As I said, this hotel was beautiful. I kind of loved it. I decided it would be a really cool spot for some bridal party photos. They look so fancy, right?

THEY'RE MARRIED!

Nick played Becca a couple of songs and it was adorable. 

Just because I love a cool ring shot. :)

Reid Parker - Jackson, TN Birth Story

I was so excited to get this completely unexpected birth story. I got a message from another Jackson area photographer who had a birth story client in labor while she was shooting a wedding! I've always been so nervous that this would happen to me. It was bound to happen to someone eventually. She asked if I could take over the shoot and I agreed. It was so great working with Jessica and her sweet family. She had her husband, her mom, and her cousin with her to help with through the birth. Her cousin is a doula too, which is awesome.

Little Reid was born in the afternoon on Saturday, June 17th. And I love the look parents have when they see their baby for the first time. 

Mallory + Jacob - Battle Mountain Farms Wedding

Mallory and Jacob's wedding was so beautiful. This is my favorite kind of wedding. Beautiful, casual, intimate, and joyful. They were both so happy all day, and I could really tell how much these two want to spend their lives together. My husband Kyle came along with me on this one as my second shooter and did an awesome job. I think it's cool that we get to do this together. 

I love a good ring shot!

These rolling hills were such a beautiful background for the day. 

Mallory was such a beautiful bride! I loved her dress and flowers. 

When your wedding has this many cows, you just go ahead and celebrate that. 

Jordan + Nathan - Murray, KY Wedding

I've decided that Murray, KY is just the cutest town. I loved visiting for Jordan and Nathan's engagement photos, and was very happy to be back for their wedding. This wedding was so much fun to shoot. The girls were all hilarious and fun, and Jordan and Nathan are high school sweethearts. I also couldn't get enough of the color scheme! Beautiful. 

Anna + Daniel - Indianola, Mississippi Wedding

Anna and Daniel's wedding was absolutely beautiful. Kyle got to go with me on this one, which I really loved. We showed up at this amazing house, surrounded by beautiful trees. Also, there was wind. Lots and lots of wind. You'll see.

I was so glad to be part of Anna and Daniel's special day. I don't usually meet my couples the day of, but I did with these two. They were friendly, relaxed, and totally in love. 

I loved catching this reaction to Anna in her dress!

I love this look for bridesmaids. The blue skirts were so pretty and flowy, and not too "bridesmaid-y". I loved the mis matched tops. Everyone looked awesome.

THIS. DRESS.

Girl looked good.

Daniel was such a goof, and I loved it. He made a pretty stressful day super fun. 

Coolest tree ever?

I loved her ring set. So unique. 

I this this photo is awesome. This is Anna hanging out the window of the getaway car, waving like the queen as they drove off. I can brag about this photo and how cool it is because I didn't take it - Kyle did.
