Usually my favorite moments from a session are the in-betweens. I’ve noticed that’s when I usually see a glimpse of the magic. You know the giggles + the soft hugs kind of magic? The moments that make the couple 🤗 Here are a few favorites from my sweet sweet time with Nikki + Bryson —✨

On Monday night I made my way to a cute little flower farm in Asheville, NC to photograph the sweetest of intimate weddings. Philippa + Ellis chose to be married with only their family present on a Monday night, barefooted, with no real timeline in mind — it was perfect.
—
Before Philippa walked down the grassy hillside aisle, the pastor prayed these words over her, “Lord, please take away the anxieties of the details, and give us an abundant awareness of You.” As I sat there snapping away, watery eyed, the Lord gave me the sweetest little whisper in my ear and said, “this is what wedding day’s are meant to be about.”
—
John Piper once said something that’s stuck closely with me every since I’ve called myself a “wedding photographer” and I wanted to share it with you tonight and hopefully spread a little encouragement if you’re a bride or groom planning your wedding,
—
“Let the service an the Word and the vows an the Lord be the main thing. There does not have to be a meal after the wedding. Believe me, there doesn’t. There doesn’t have to be a dance. It doesn’t have to be in an expensive hotel. There doesn’t have to be a paid quintet. Really, it doesn’t have to be. We need young people with a backbone and radical Christian courage to stand against a culture and show what truth and beauty and joy can look like at one fourth the cost and one fourth the anxieties and one fourth the stress — and double the focus on the glory of Christ an the advancement of His kingdom.”
—
Thank you for inviting me in to your day Philippa + Ellis and giving me another glimpse of glory. I’ll forever be humbled 🖤

Mr. + Mrs. Young ✨ After six years of dating, these two now call each other husband and wife. Their day was truly the most thoughtful, intentional, and just down right beautiful day I’ve ever been a part of — currently weeping going through their images now 😭 Riley and Carson, your day will always be so special to me. Love you guys SO much!

My girl @rileylovorn made the most beautiful bride yesterday. I truly cannot but into words all I have to say, so until I can, here are a few of her bridals 😭 I also cannot wait to share photo of her and her HUSBAND, so stay tuned! Love you forever, Riley! — now on to wedding number 2 for the weekend !!! ✨

Hanging out with these two + attempting to capture them riding one bike together (lol) was a WIN of a night for me — also, I tend to forget but isn’t downtown Greenville really not the cutest!? I love this little city I call home! — SO humbled to tell a little bit of your story Nikki + Bryson, I’m a BIIIIIIIG fan 🖤

I delivered @rileylovorn’s bridals today and I’m in a puddle because 1.she’s breathtaking (can’t wait for you to see her @carsonoatesyoung) and 2. She gets married next week 😭 Riley has been the biggest of blessings to me over these last couple years and I truly could go on an on about her and how much I love her but instead I’ll just leave you with a few of her engagement photos that I look at daily 😭 and that I’m truly so excited it’s finally her turn to be a bride and on the other side of the camera 😭 NEXT WEEK @rileylovorn (!!!)
