Though the skies threatened a random rainstorm all morning and afternoon, Holly and Tyler ended up with the most perfect wedding day weather ever! It was cool and breezy but the sun came out during the ceremony and it just kept the humidity and everything at bay the rest of the evening. One thing I […]

Well prepare yourself for what is likely my largest blog post of all time. I have never shot a wedding at Bayville Golf Course, nor have I been to a wedding there or even assisted at a wedding there. So when this inquiry initially came through I was SO excited and after being there for […]

It’s really not often I get to have couples that have known each other since they were kids, growing up in the same circles, and then, later on, turned their friendship into something more! George and Christy have been friends since they were six since their parents were both in the Greek church together. They […]

Never thought when I shot their engagements last year, that it would be over a year later before they got married and they would have the cutest plus one at their wedding!! Kelsey & Nick were always planning a beach wedding but pushed it last year when it wasn’t going to work to have all their […]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS WEDDING!!! Let me tell ya why: Chris is technically family. My kids call him Uncle Chris and his daughter their cousin, even though they’re technically family by marriage since his brother is married to my sister. We knew it would always take someone SO special to be his wife and […]

I think everyone can agree it has been such a weird and hard time recently. Having our entire world feel like it was coming to a standstill, completely disrupting plans that have been in progress for months and months was just bizarre.
