It is with the utmost delight that I recount the recent nuptials of Miss Megan and Mr. John, held in the idyllic setting of Lake Lure, North Carolina. This occasion, much anticipated by society, did not fail to live up to its lofty expectations. Indeed, it was a day replete with beauty, emotion, and no small amount of elegance.
Dearest readers,

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of photographing Michaela and Nick’s wedding on Michaela’s parents’ beautiful property in Lineville, Alabama. It was one of those days that truly embodies the essence of a fall wedding—crisp air, the warm colors of autumn, and a deep sense of love and community surrounding the couple. Despite the aftermath of the Hurricane Helen that impacted neighboring states, the weather in Lineville gave us a perfect fall day.
As a wedding and portrait photographer, I spend a lot of time behind the lens capturing everyone’s special moments. But when it’s my turn to be in front of the camera or just feel my best on the job, I have a few go-to beauty products that I can’t live without. I know how important it is to make sure that your hair and makeup are on point all day long, especially on your wedding day!
Last month, my husband and I celebrated seven years of marriage! In honor of that milestone, I thought it was the perfect time to share our love story. I planned to post this last month, but, well… life happened. We decided to homeschool our kids (which is a whole other blog post for another day!), and I’m still figuring out a routine that works for all of us. But anyway, on to our story!
Congratulations on your engagement! This is a beautiful chapter in your love story, filled with excitement, joy, and the promise of a wonderful future together. While planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, it’s important to savor every moment of this special time. As a wedding photographer, I’ve witnessed countless couples navigate their engagement journey, and I’m here to share some tips on how to enjoy being engaged and make the most of planning your dream wedding.
