There is something truly enchanting about the fleeting beauty of hydrangea blooms. At the Memphis Botanic Garden, these delicate flowers grace us with their presence for just a short period each year, standing tall and vibrant for only a few weeks before the relentless summer sun takes its toll. It’s a spectacle that beckons photographers like me.

Ever wondered what a wedding weekend surrounded by the most loving and supportive community looks like? Allow me to introduce you to Beth and Ray. During the first weekend of May, amidst the allure of Little Rock, Arkansas, I had the extraordinary privilege of capturing the most beautiful wedding for a couple destined for a lifetime of love and happiness. Beth and Ray’s celebration was a testament to the power of love, with every detail meticulously planned and executed.

Capturing Holland and Dylan’s wedding at the magnificent Jefferson in Oxford, Mississippi, was an absolute honor. From the very beginning to the very end, every moment was pure magic. Stepping into the venue felt like crossing the threshold into a fairytale. The surroundings were adorned with radiant smiles, an overflow of love, and an explosion of vibrant, colorful flowers. It was a grand affair that exuded joy and laughter, filling the halls with an enchanting atmosphere.

Kennedy and John’s beautiful wedding day, held at the enchanting Orion Hill, was one for the books! This remarkable couple exudes a profound love that was an absolute privilege to capture. They are undeniably perfect for each other, and through my lens, I had the pleasure of immortalizing some of the most exquisite portraits I have ever taken! From dawn till dusk, the entire day overflowed with unbridled joy and ethereal beauty that can only be described as a dream come true.

Nature has a funny way of surprising us, and on Caroline and Phillip’s wedding day, a storm rushed through Little Rock, forcing us to quickly rethink how we were going to take portraits. However, instead of dampening spirits, it transformed into a unique opportunity for creativity and beauty. The talented team at Tanarah Luxe Floral swiftly sprang into action, creating a stunning floral backdrop that served as the perfect setting for unforgettable photographs. Their expertise and dedication not only saved the day but also elevated the photos to a whole new level of enchantment.

Ashley had her heart set on a city and park vibe for their engagement session, and knowing she was a fan of the older buildings and scenery downtown, I knew exactly where to take them. Downtown Memphis holds a timeless charm, it’s one of my favorite places to photograph, and it became our playground for the day. The historic architecture served as a testament to their love, standing tall and strong, just like their bond. As we strolled through the bustling streets, Ashley and Nate held hands, stealing kisses and exchanging playful glances. It was like they had a secret language, one only they understood.

Julie’s family has a gorgeous home in Batesville set upon beautiful land with horses and this past Saturday she and Dan had a beautiful ceremony on the property under the trees her great grandparents planted. The day was filled with color and had the most lovely garden party vibes. White Pine Coordination did such a fantastic job planning this wedding and helping the day go smoothly. I was basically in photographer heaven. If you ask me to shoot a wedding with tons of wildflowers and potted plants everywhere.. I’m there! It also doesn’t hurt when you get to spend the day with two of the sweetest people known to man. I went through and culled the photos already and needless to say, this is going to be a huge gallery. I had to share all of these gorgeous images with you guys and all the lovely in between moments as well. I loved capturing this day. In fact, I’ve always dreamed of photographing a wedding like this and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to photograph this stunning, colorful, happy day for Mr. and Mrs. Smith! You two have the most beautiful life ahead of you and it was such an honor to capture this chapter!

Some couples you meet you have a feeling about. The feeling that tells you how perfect they are together and how happy they make each other. I instantly felt that way when I met Marlana and Tucker. They have the sweetest love and it spreads to everyone in contact with them. Working for couples like them makes my job worth it in every way. Couples like Marlana and Tucker are the reason I love photographing weddings in the first place! It’s beyond all the pretty florals and the perfect venue. It’s capturing true love. Honestly I hope I get to work with future couples just like them! It’s always such an honor capturing a wedding day and even better when everything turns out beautiful! Houston’s Venue is one of those places that instantly looks elegant and will upscale any day. Add flowers from Generations Floral Company and you have basically the wedding of your dreams! I’ll be forever posting these images because it was one of the highlights of my career. I hope every couple I work with gets to experience a day so happy and fun! Everyone deserves a beautiful celebration with their loved ones and I’m so happy to capture that for couples! I’m so happy for Marlana and Tucker and I hope they have a lifetime of love and happiness!

I’ve been so excited to share Brittany and Bonner’s wedding day at Mallards Croft! They had such a classic lovely day with tons of beautiful details everywhere and lots of love and laughter. I’m not sure I’ll ever get over the pretty summer color palette of the florals, either. Brittany is the epitome of a carefree, happy bride, and Bonner is hilarious and loveable. I enjoyed every minute of their day, and I’m only sad it’s over! Mallard’s Croft has beautiful windows everywhere, and it makes for the prettiest pictures, so we took a ton of photos inside! So even when the weather changed, it’s mind that day, we had lots of fun shooting inside the ceremony area. I know this is one of those weddings I’ll be sharing for a while, and I’m incredibly happy for these two! Congratulations, Brittany and Bonner!

Houston’s is one of my all-time favorite venues for more than a few reasons. Once you add a spectacular couple like Taylor and Zac, it’s adding up to a wonderful day! These two are just the sweetest people there ever could be and photographing them is a dream. Literally, Zac is one of the best grooms I’ve ever photographed and Taylor is all smiles all the time! I can’t believe how fast the day went, but you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun! It’s always incredibly rewarding to photograph a couple like Taylor and Zac because they love to have fun and don’t mind the extra pictures either! I know I’ll be sharing this beautiful day for a long time to come and I’m so excited for them to see the entire gallery. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds!

I love being a photographer and shooting weddings. However it goes with out saying that the job is so much more enjoyable when you have fun people to photograph. Jaime and Taylor are exactly those people too. They know how to laugh and have a good time and everyone around them can’t help but soak up that energy too. Needless to say, there wedding was incredibly fun and beyond gorgeous. If it comes down to anything it was having a lot of really great vendors their that made it organized and beautiful but also their venue is to die for! I can go on and on about The Robinshaw. In fact, after I stopped shooting that night I talked to the owner. Jonie, about how amazing the venue is laid out and how many wonderful details they thought of. I was blown away! I’m always so happy when everything comes together for a couple and they have the best experience on their wedding day and I know Jaime and Taylor had just that! I couldnt’t be happier for these two and these images are some of my very favorites! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Edmonds!

I’ve been dreaming of the day I could share Megan’s Bridal Session at Goodwin Manor. The light was amazing and Goodwin is just one of those places that looks good all year round! Let this be a reminder to all of you just how pretty a February session can be even when Arkansas is still looking a little… dead. With strategic planning picking the right day and the right location, you too can have a gorgeous winter session! Also, thank goodness for Goodwin Manor for being a venue I can continuously come back to when I need somewhere gorgeous to shoot.
We actually got just a little lucky this day and the weather was just warm enough Megan wasn’t freezing! You never know what the weather will do here. After photographing a lot of weddings in Arkansas over the years, I’ll say November to March could be warm, hot, or even freezing from one week to another. It makes absolutely no sense but as a southern photographer you have to make it work!
Other than Megan being an absolute, drop dead, gorgeous bride her bouquet made her session feel alive and gave it color! The hues of this bouquet are to die for and I’ll be singing Bloom’s praises for years to come for making this session a winner in my book. I couldn’t help but make them a highlight and I know Megan loved them too. I’ll be looking back at this session for a long time in love with how these images turned out.

The 23rd of April I showed up to a house with tons of happy smiling women running around trying to get ready for the days events. They were incredibly sweet and supportive as I laid out Berkley’s details and started arranging them, giving me oohs and ahhs but mostly proclaims of excitement to each other while they finished getting ready. I soon realized how incredibly fun this wedding would be. That loving, courteous feeling followed me through the entire day because quite frankly this wedding was made up of the best people. Berkley and Edward have the best type of people around them. The community of friends and family made the entire wedding day (and I’m sure the planning process) fun and relaxed too. I couldn’t have loved working with a group of people more. I know Berkley and Edward will have the happiest marriage and it was wonderful capturing this day for them! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Dixon!

This past Saturday I photographed a beautiful wedding at Kindred Barn in Mulberry Arkansas. I had that “good day” feeling before I even picked up my camera. The weather, light, florals, vendors, couple… everything was beyond perfect. Needless to say, I was in photographer heaven. I’m incredibly excited to share all the gorgeous images from Megan and Chase’s wedding because this was certainly a highlight of my career. I can’t say enough wonderful things about these two and the sweet, silly love they share but I wish them a lifetime of love. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Wilson!

This past Saturday I had the honor of capturing their wedding at Orion Hill and it was a day to remember! I shared so many photos I’ve lost count but there wasn’t a moment I wanted to pass. I’m so lucky I get to work for gorgeous, kind-hearted, sweet couples like Darby and Stephen. I only wish a lifetime of love and happiness to them and that they get to hold on to each other forever!

The Brooks Museum is one of my favorite places to photograph Memphis engagement sessions. It has that classy and stately vibe I tend to obsess over and my couples have loved it too. I’m so glad Savannah and Austin decided to have their session here. It was a cloudy day and the light building made everything so glowy and dreamy! A combination of good outfit choices and location can make all the difference when it comes to how good your engagement photos turn out.

Max Patch is a dream and believe it or not I’ve had it on my “bucket list locations” list for a while now! The mountaintop is stunning and the Blue Ridge Mountains roll on for days. It was Ashley’s dream to say I do to Addison during golden hour with the stunning backdrop at Max Patch and let me just say, we made it happen!! I’m so happy with how these turned out and I know I’ll be obsessing over these for a long time to come.

Leah & CJ had such a beautiful day at Knotting Hills. The forecast literally days before changed and had a rain percentage of 70% or more! Thankfully the rain came in for just a few minutes twice that day and the weather was perfect and bright almost all day. This was my first time shooting at this venue and I was blown away!
