Megan and Lee shared an intimate ceremony with their fellow Westpoint graduates on the cliffs of the Bluff View Art District at the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga, Tn. Guests shared signature cocktails on the terrace while they were treated to a live painter capturing their likeness.
Prior to the ceremony, both couple’s enjoyed the ease and luxury of The Edwin Hotel, only walking distance from the famed Hunter Museum. The hotel is filled with luscious lighting to make sure all the details from the groom’s gifts down to the bride’s dress were captured in all their glory.
During the ceremony, you might say the groom took a trip to through the Star Trek Universe. He secretly changed into Captain Kirk fatigues to the great amusement of the guests! But before Megan could walk down the aisle, he quickly changed back into his formal suit. In true homage to his personality and formality, he didn’t have to sacrifice either for his special day!
The couple’s fathers and the bride’s sister had hilarious and tender moments to share during the receptions lovely dinner catered by Events with Taste. My favorite photographer was there, Jaims of Our Ampersand Photography. We managed to whisk the couple away to the rooftop for some gorgeous golden hour footage. Their silhouettes were shaped by the gorgeous summer sunset along the river and they looked so happy.
The rest of the night included lovely dance ballet shoes so as not to hurt too much from all that dancing as the Emerald Empire Band played the night away. I had so much fun and I can’t wait to party with them again soon!

After sharing intimate vows surrounded by close family members, the couple shared a Miller High Life toast and a cheers with their beloved dogs. In true Kentucky fashion, the couple dug up a buried bottle of bourbon-a iconic Southern tradition* steeped in folklore and the hopes of bringing good weather. The crips spring air, beautifull blooms everwhere and not a cloud in the sky proved the tradition right!
Friends greeted the family after the ceremony downtown at the Turnbull building. They were welcomed with a taco bar from Taqueria Jalisco and staples of bourbon from elite Kentucky barrels. Alexis and Tyler shared speeches and dinner with their friends then danced the night away with the Even Odds Band!
Special thanks to the entire vendor team and to Alexis and Tyler!

Taylor & Jeff
After three reschedules and a final push to make a snowy pathway accessible for 35 out of town guests to their small ranch in Oregon, they managed to make their dream a reality.
Taylor and Jeff had been dreaming of creating a wedding weekend for their people that was intimate, unique, and in tune with their wild and kindred hearts for years. After three reschedules and a final push to make a snowy pathway accessible for 35 out of town guests to their small ranch in Oregon, they managed to make their dream a reality.
They lit a bonfire on the first day and kept it rolling until the last car pulled out of the driveway at the end of the weekend. The group enjoyed a chili cookout and multiple days of skiing, even yoga! Filming all the adventures and getting to steal away to ski for a few hours was such a fun delight! After the hubbub of the weekend, Taylor and Jeff had a quiet first look beneath the same snowy mountains that watched them marry in ceremony and tradition a few hours later.
Every detail of their day was carefully curated with intention and integrity. Jeff’s cowboy boots and his bolo tie: a nod to his western roots and Taylor’s veil: hand painted with different animals that would guide Taylor in her love and life forever.
Taylor’s dad officiated and watching him give a blessing his first born daughter felt like the perfect way to welcome the group into the ritual of connecting these two in love and in life. Their love began years ago and the fire continues to burn through the changes and the celebrations. And oh what a celebration it was.

Sibel & Skylar
Skylar and Sibel’s wedding was held near the pristine and sleek beaches of Sarasota, Florida. The Oak’s Country Club was a regal backdrop for the laughter, the dancing, and the elegance of the night.
Skylar and Sibel’s wedding was held near the pristine and sleek beaches of Sarasota, Florida. The Oak’s Country Club was a regal backdrop for the laughter, the dancing, and the elegance of the night. Filming this one was a unique Florida treat, the weather held off the humidity and the night was cool and breezy.
Skylar’s style was sleek and polished and his voice was so commanding and direct when he read his own vows to Skylar. Sibel quietly got ready surrounded by her sister, mother, and a group of close girlfriends. She was elegant and posh in her streamlined crepe gown with the most dramatic open back. It even had tassels! The rope knot work connecting the dress as a halter was my favorite detail.
Sibel’s Turkish heritage was celebrated throughout the night. Guest walked away with a third eye charm and were surprised with a bellydance performance at the start of the reception. Both families welcomed the union with such open arms, giving heartfelt speeches in honor of the couple’s love story, personalities, and their commitment to joining the two families together!

Catie & Jake
Catie and Jake came together under the oaks and wide open farm lands at Crooked River Ranch for their Florida winter wedding.
Catie and Jake came together under the oaks and wide open farm lands at Crooked River Ranch for their Florida winter wedding. It was a blissful 65 degree sunny day filled with laughter and tons of eclectic fabulousness! Filming their wedding andconnections just felt like coming home.
Catie spent time with her sisters and niece while she got ready and opened a gift from Jake-a custom pistol! After lots of laughs, she put on her green soccer cleats and did a first look with her dad who moonlit as her soccer coach for years.
Catie and Jake both made sure their day wasn’t just traditional but let their personalities shine. Their guests ate wood-fire grilled pizza and spent the evening outside under the stars playing connect four and corn-hole. You could hear the laughter and dancing reverberate from the barn all the way to to the glow of the fire pit.
It was fun, it was real, and it was the kind of love you want to celebrate forever.

Corinne & Luke
Corinne and Luke travelled from their home base in Atlanta where Luke formerly played for the Braves Major League Baseball team.
Corinne and Luke travelled from their home base in Atlanta where Luke formerly played for the Braves Major League Baseball team. Luke’s family hosted a small intimate gathering at the Islamorada resort Cheeka Lodge and Spa with an intimate beachside ceremony. I was able to film the quiet ceremony and reception with the family where they shared communion and a personal message from Luke’s dad.
A dear friend of mine, Katie Schlabach was the photographer. It was so fun to film alongside on a elopement after two years almost exactly to the day I filmed her elopement. We splashed in the sea while the sun set. Then we were whisked away to celebratory dinner reception at a nearby local favorite-Square Grouper.
Corinne had a custom cake created to commemorate the occasion, covered with flower petals. Everything was curated to match her bohemian, earthy asthetic. It was an intimate and true reflection of their peaceful personalities.
