It is the absolute greatest compliment I could ever receive when past clients of mine recommend me to their family + friends. I’ve been so lucky over the past few years! I had the honor of photographing David’s cousin Chase’s wedding two years ago in Charleston, so it was like a family reunion of sorts at Jordan + David’s wedding in Athens, Georgia. There were so many familiar faces and I’m honestly still on cloud nine after this incredible destination wedding! Traveling to new places is such a thrill for me, so I’m always thankful when clients are willing to bring me in to a new city.
Jordan + David met at the University of Georgia, so it only made sense that they would return “home” to get married. Although they live in Texas currently, it was clear to me just how much Athens means to them as a couple. Jordan + David wanted to make sure that we got photos on the UGA campus, so we started their day with a sweet First Look in front of the chapel on North Campus – followed by portraits around the quad. These are seriously some of my FAVORITE portraits ever!! Jordan’s classic ballgown was so simple, but completely breathtaking. One of my all-time favorite dresses FOR SURE!!
After portraits, we met up with their bridal party at the church for group photos and, before long, Jordan + David were saying “I do!” in front of their family + friends. Their reception was held at this really fun venue called The Foundry, which is actually a live music venue. The ballrooms looked amazing thanks to gorgeous florals by Amy Osaba and their band was incredible. The dance floor was completely packed all night long!! At the end of the night, Jordan + David exited through a tunnel of guests as they tossed rose petals in celebration of the newlyweds. I had the most amazing time at this wedding and I’m just so thankful for the opportunity to travel + photograph such amazing couples!! Congratulations, you guys! Here are some of my favorites from Jordan + David’s romantic downtown Athens, Georgia wedding…

Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
