Being a wedding photographer is ALWAYS special. But, it is even more special when you are photographing your best friend’s wedding day. I feel so blessed to have been Anna & Ezekiel’s photographer…not only were Anna and I best friends throughout college, we were also roommates for three years! It has been such a pleasure […]

I am SO excited to be posting about Sarah & Matt’s wedding this past weekend in Matthews, NC! Where do I even begin with these two?! They are totally meant to be together forever, and you can just see it in their eyes!! A beautiful wedding was held at their home church. The day began […]

The biggest compliment you can receive as a photographer is when one of your BEST FRIENDS asks you be their photographer! Anna is one of my closest friends (and college roommates), and she and Ezekiel have been together for well over six years!!! Cutest high school sweethearts ever! I have loved being able to see […]

I am so excited to be sharing my favorite photos from Haynes and Michele’s beautiful winter wedding! We started the day by getting all of the girls ready at a nearby hotel. I loved their matching robes! We headed over to Verdict Ridge Country Club, where Michele got dressed and had such sweet emotional moments […]

Creating this video was so heartwarming. I loved hearing about Heather and Taylor’s amazing friendship, stories about how their interest in styling began, how they want their brides to feel, and their personal reactions and relationships on each wedding day. I am so thankful that they shared so much of their hearts. Watch the video below and see for yourself how incredible these two ladies are! If you or someone you know is looking for a hair and makeup artist (not just for weddings) I think the choice is pretty clear! 🙂

I had the pleasure of getting to know Rachel through a photography class during my sophomore year of college. I always knew her as a genuine and beautiful person, so when she asked me to do her bridal portraits, naturally I said yes! Rachel is not only incredibly sweet, she is also incredibly stunning! It […]

Bridal Portraits. It’s a Southern tradition. I love seeing a bride dressed up on her wedding day, looking in the mirror before going down the aisle and knowing how truly beautiful she is. She has chosen the perfect dress and glittering jewelry, her best friends and family members are surrounding her, and her groom is […]

This stunning bride was married this past Saturday! I have been waiting anxiously to share her beautiful bridal portraits! I had the immense joy of meeting Christina and doing her bridal portraits one Tuesday morning in May, and doing her and CJ’s engagement photos the same evening!  We did Christina’s bridal portraits at The Inn […]

In April, I had the opportunity to attend an amazing workshop put on by Casey Hendrickson At Ritchie Hill in Concord, North Carolina. I had been following Casey’s work for a long time and jumped at the opportunity to meet her and learn from her!  After we had an amazing time of learning gathered around […]

One year ago, The Rising Tide Society was born.  It is an online community that was born out of the desire for community over competition in creative industries. Just in this one year, I have made so many amazing connections with fellow rising tide members. I have met people not only through the Charlotte, NC and […]
