Katie + Marc

When I met Katie and Marc I told them they reminded me of Dharma and Greg, except Marc is much cooler than Greg. I loved them. I love who they are as people and how they love eachother. Take a look at some things that stood out to me from their wedding day.

The Wedding Party

I love that Katie only used flowers that were locally in season and natural to our region

Carrie and Matt Engagement

Carrie and Matt are having an intimate beach wedding in North Carolina next spring, and even though I couldn't make it to photograph their wedding, we were able to get together for an engagement session. We had a great time, and they were great models :).





Kim + Matt

I was honored when Matt and Kim asked me to shoot their wedding. They are close friends of ours, and really intimately knowing their story made the moments even more powerful. Matt waited for Kim for a long time. :)
Looking at them now, it's hard to believe that Kim didn't see it immediately- come on, they even look alike :). Their story in particular is a picture of what it really means to pursue someone with patience and love- and what it means to be pursued in that way. To see Matt looking at Kim up at the altar with such endearment, to be able to capture their friends and family praying in total gratitude for their union- it was an honor to record such a beautiful story. Love you guys!

Beth and Tory backyard

Our friends Beth and Tory have the most beautiful backyard of anyone we know. Their backyard is such a part of their daily living that we thought it was a perfect setting for their engagment portriats. Check em out.




Colby + Meg

My family has loved the Dischinger family for years. Naturally, photographing a wedding of people you love dearly and know intimately- it's a beautiful thing. I had a big lump in my throat as I shot many moments of the day, and cried really hard behind the camera at one point. Colby and Meg's wedding was the best of life incapsulated into one day- passionate love, celebration, endearment, a collection of histories of relationships all coming together for one event. It couldn't have been better.
