Kathryn & Joe
August 7th
King Plow Arts Center
Atlanta, GA

Large colorful pieces of artwork, mustaches on a stick, playful flowers, a beautiful bride, and some big characters, yep Kathryn and Joe’s wedding had it all! It was one of my favorites ever to photograph. First off, I just love Kathryn and Joe, and love any excuse to hang out with these two. They are so happy and chill, my type of people! When I got asked to photograph their wedding I was so happy, I could barely wait. The wedding didn’t disappoint. Not only did they get married under huge pieces of artwork, but they had props (I love props)! I just love King Plow, one of my new favorite places in Atlanta to shoot. Also a big shout out to Bold American for some wonderful food. Loved the people preparing hot food on the spot. I had an awesome team of shooters, so a big thank you to Thu and Taylor! Both of you had amazing pictures and are so much fun! One more thank you to Ashley Baker, planner extraordinaire for making our job easy.

Amy & Dirk

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Amy & Dirk
Stone Manor Country Club
Middletown Maryland

I love Amy and Dirk. They are both so full of life and so much fun! They filled the wedding day with so much personality. Dirk’s and the groomsmen wore bright pink, there was a table of Polaroids for the seating charts, giant blue and pink balls hanging from trees, oh ya and Ritas (my new favorite icy treat) to name a few of the awesome details.

I think my favorite moment was when we went to a field right after the ceremony. Perfect light, and we all just played with the pictures. Amy ended up falling over in the field, conveniently for me, in the perfect spot. While I was taking pictures Amy pointed out the grasshopper just watching everything while sitting on her dress.

Saying I had fun is a bit of an understatement! I smile whenever I think back about Amy and Dirk’s wedding. A big thank you to Astrid for being my star second shooter! You are awesome.

Melody & Brent

Sunday, July 18th, 2010


Melody & Brent
Washington Golf and Country Club
Mt Olivet Methodist Church
Alexandria, Virginia

I will admit it, I judge people on how they treat their waiter at a restaurant. You can really tell a lot about a person by how they interact with the people they met on a day to day basis. When I first met Melody and Brent we went out for lunch. Over our sandwiches they kept smiling and thanking our waiter. I knew right away that I would love these two. They have a way of making everyone around them happy and they have a way of making people feel good about themselves. Not just with their enormous smiles, but with their complements and ability to thank and truly listen. At the end of their wedding, not only was I blown away by the crazy beauty, the shear size of the bride and grooms smiles, but I truly felt better about myself. So Melody and Brent, thank you for having me be part of your wedding, while at the same time, making me truly feel important and special. That is a wonderful gift.

A big thank you to the talented Debi Parker for shooting with me! Your shots are just amazing and you are crazy fun to be around!





















I love this picture! His smile looks like it is about to jump off his face! He had the look of uncontainable happiness as he saw his bride walking down the aisle!

Erica & Jonathan

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Erica & Jonathan
The Most Holy Rosary Church, Abbeyleix, Ireland
Castle Durrow, County Laois, Ireland
Day after photos, Cliffs of Moher

This wedding was epic. I have been to a lot of weddings now, and I remember on numerous occasions at Erica and Jonathan’s wedding in which my jaw dropped. The reception castle, the greenery, the day after session at the famous Cliffs of Moher, it was all way beyond words. The whole wedding gave me chills. Erica and Jonathan are both such amazing people, it was such an honor to photograph their epic wedding in scenic Ireland.

The wedding was full of fun and a lot of Irish touches. The majority of the guest were locals as the bride is originally from Ireland (she moved to the states when she was young). Those guys know how to party. Erica even hiked up her dress to show off some of her traditional Irish dancing. I love the shot with the minister and his Guinness, only in Ireland. The wedding went until past 5am, like I said before the Irish know how to party!

After the late night Erica and Jonathan woke up early to travel across Ireland to do a day after shoot at the Cliffs of Moher. I have had a lot of crazy engagement shoots in my life, but this one was definitely the most crazy ever. When on top of a little castle at the edge of the cliffs, one of the men that work there said to us “you can climb to the exposed top if you want”. Erica, who has a fear of heights, agreed (I was shocked). So there we were with a 360 degree view, wind whipping Erica’s veil and me shacking so hard it was hard to hold my camera. It was sublime, and we got some of my favorite pictures ever! So thank you two for your epic wedding, facing your fear of heights for the sake of photography and for giving me an experience I will never forget. Another big thank you to my wonderful husband who helped out in so many ways.

Lee & Jason

Lee & Jason
St Regis DC

It was very funny to me to feel like I was shooting a destination wedding right down the road. Jason and Lee from my home, Atlanta, and they traveled up to downtown DC to get married. So I had the best of both worlds, good Georgia folks, and a wedding close to my husband and dog! They had lots of small Georgia touches, like the tables all named after Georgia famous spots. Another aspect that made this wedding feel like home is that Jason and Lee both remind me of some of my friends in Atlanta. Very chilled out, relaxed and just happy people, that are totally in love with their dog (who made a special appearance as a cake topper) and each other. The wedding was beautiful. It was outdoors in the early evening light, then a crazy fun reception. A big thank you to Astrid for shooting with me!
