I was blessed to take part in over a dozen love stories last year, but this Whiskey Gulch Coffee Pub wedding came to me out of the blue. Sent by an old friend of mine, Jessica and Carl were wonderful to work with and I’m so glad to have added them to the Markie Jones…
I feel like I say this all the time, but that saying “Time flies when you’re having fun” is SO COMPLETELY TRUE. I never imagined I’d wake up one morning with a 10 year old, 6 year old and 17 month old… all while being 15 weeks from meeting our youngest! That’s right, Evan James…
Last year was one for the books, wasn’t it? Going from living every day life without a care in the world to total and complete lockdown where weddings were illegal is something none of us ever thought would actually happen! Sure, there were half a dozen or more movies with that plot line, but did…
Well, hellooooooo 2021. I’m sure you’ve been following along for a while and know it’s so very rare that I offer sales to the public. (Typically you have to be part of my email list in order to get any special deals). But today, I’m excited to be announcing a special deal ya’ll can take…

It has taken me way too long to blog this gorgeous sunset elopement. FINALLY these gorgeous images are getting their 15 minutes of fame on the blog! My husband, Jake, is actually the one responsible for booking this wedding. Would you believe that he worked a wedding show the WEEKEND our son was born? Like…
We’re coming to the blog today with a pretty incredible Historic Victorian Manor Venue! The Orting Manor was one of those pretty little gems that sat on my venue wish list for YEARS before I was gifted the opportunity to photograph a wedding there. Recently, the Orting Manor was purchased by new owners who put…
