Tyler & Jess: ENGAGED

It has been long anticipated, with excitement, for quite some time and it is now here. Tyler and Jess are engaged! They have been engaged for a few months, but waited for a beautiful fall day to celebrate with pictures. We had the perfect location with a white fence, and tons of colorful leaves blanketing the ground. Jess and Tyler are both amazing people who work hard, but still manage to have a great time and cherish their time with each other. It was so fun to take pictures of my good friends and I am excited to share a few with you:

Dane & Lauren: ENGAGED

Last Saturday was absolutely beautiful, there was a gentle chill in the air, the sun was shining through the trees and the leaves were so vibrant! I was thankful to not only experience and capture the beauty of the season that day, but also the love and joy that Dane and Lauren possess. Thinking back on it I don't think I ever caught either of them not smiling. I had so much fun hanging out with them as we searched around for a good field and old barn house to take pictures near. It was so nice to spend the evening with them talking, exploring and shooting....pictures, of course. We even ended up coming across two really interesting, yet awesome, photo props on our journey: a unique couch and a energetic dog. The day was just a blast, a perfect fall day with wonderful friends, take a look:

Abel and Hilary

I was fortunate enough to shoot my first wedding solo last weekend, and it was a great one to start off with! Although I did not know Hilary or Abel very well before the wedding, I felt like I got to know them a good bit as I captured and watched them interact with each other and their family and friends on October 2. Hilary was cheerful every time I interacted with her and that encouraged me a great deal. It was a joy to be present at their wedding, and just going through all the photos again today, brought a smile to my face as I edited. They are such a warm and loving couple and everyone there just seemed so blessed to be a witness of their marriage. It ended up being a beautiful fall day and I loved spending the evening outside, the picture opportunities were plenty and it was all around just a wonderful wedding!

Jaimie & Evan: ENGAGED

Jaimie and Evan just recently got engaged and it was so fun to be able to take their engagement pictures! Jaimie is a friend of mine, who I look up to a great deal and it was so refreshing to see her and meet her fiance Evan. They were both so easy going and it made the evening a delight! Here are a few images from the night:

Kent & Alisha TRAMMELL

I had the privilege to be the second shooter at the wedding of Kent and Alisha this past Saturday in Roanoke. Getting to know Alisha my junior at Liberty on the dorm was such a pleasure and it was so special to be part of her wedding. Both she and Kent are so down to earth and warmhearted. The ceremony was such a testimony of their love and respect for the Lord and it was such a blessing to be there. As the second shooter for this event, I took the groomsmen pictures, that are below. Detailed photographs from the reception are soon to come!

The D'Amico Family

The first weekend in July I was able to travel home with my best friend, Danielle, to take pictures of her and her family at the Jersey Shore! It was such a blessing to be able to take pictures for them and better yet, see the whole family! Everyone in the D'Amico family has the ability to make you feel like a friend instantly. They are so welcoming and hospitable. I love that and so much more about them. They have showed me their kindness over and over again and I am so thankful for them! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot. It was a very clear and sunny day as you can see by their big smiles and bright faces:
