“Adventure is worthwhile in itself” – Amelia Earhart A Love Story Lost in the Woods: Alycia & Nick’s Adventurous Engagement Session at Tradition Lake Some people just click—you meet them, and it’s like you’ve known each other for years. That was Alycia and Nick. From the moment we finally nailed down a date, I knew…
These two are a couple of my favorite people, and I don’t get to see them nearly enough! So this year, I decided to reach out to Dawn for a few ideas. Even though my boudoir sessions didn’t end up happening (next year ya’ll!) I was still thrilled to head over to Dawn’s beautifully decorated…
I’m looking for someone to share in an adventure… Miranda + Wayne’s Gold Creek Pond Engagement There’s something magical about a Gold Creek Pond Engagement. Maybe it’s the way the water reflects the surrounding peaks like a watercolor painting. Or maybe it’s how the light filters through the pines just perfectly at sunset. But on…
No one wants a wedding day disaster. And I mean NO ONE. But sometimes, those wedding disasters find us without our even trying. My Halloween wedding dress started out as a disaster, but thanks to a wonderful vendor, it became a dress I could only have dreamed of. The hunt for the perfect Halloween Wedding…
There once was a tree. A little boy loved this tree very much, and after many years of climbing this tree, brought his beloved to the base to be married. This is the story of the Moody Friday the 13th Wedding… For my birthday this year, I booked a wedding. I came home to a…
I look forward to every Brookstom Creek Wedding I get to photograph, but this one in particular really had me itching for September to arrive. Mariah and Kasey are two of the sweetest people you’ll meet, and I was honored to be chosen to stand by their side. I couldn’t have picked a sweeter couple…
If you’ve hung around here much, you’ll know I’ve been married twice. The first time was in 2007 and the second in October 2018. You wouldn’t believe how much the wedding planning process has changed in 11 years. Quick & Simple Wedding Planning In 2007 the planning process felt much different. Putting together a wedding…
On Monday, October 14th, the all-inclusive Monte Cristo Ballroom abruptly closed the business down leaving couples without a wedding. The heartbreaking chaos of the last few days for these couples included scrambling and changing their wedding plans and/or dates. In an amazing effort, the wedding community has banded together to help these couples reinvent their…
One of my favorite things about Brookstom creek is it’s versatility. The location itself holds more of a rustic charm, but with a bit of creativity (and extra helping hands) you can create a luxurious feel to the blank canvas. Cori and Stephen’s wedding is a prime example: think Joanna Gaines meets Seattle’s Sodo. Not…
What happens when you combine peanut butter, bacon and everyone’s favorite King of Rock? Boss Mama’s Kitchen and the Elvis Burger happen. On a recent date night with my husband, we ran into Jen with Boss Mama’s Kitchen and got a taste of her fantastic eats! I knew I’d want to find the truck again,…
I feel like I could talk about fate for every single wedding this year. As luck would have it, Krystyn and Scott’s wedding was another fateful moment in the books. Krystyn and Scott originally married a few years ago. At the time, they couldn’t afford the big wedding Krystyn dreamed of, so they put it…
A mountain elopement with a bride in a black dress? Yes please. I fully, one hundred and ten percent believe in fate. People are brought into our lives for many reasons, one being to show us the way to our true selves. Every wedding this year has been that way for me. Keira and Wade’s…
