Like so many other couples this year, Triandafylia and Adam’s wedding looked nothing like they envisioned it. In this case, I think it was even better!!! These two weren’t supposed to get married until this December, but when the pandemic broke out they decided early on that they just couldn’t wait! They downsized the guest […]

Well, Erin’s prayers paid off and mother nature gave us the most spectacular day last Saturday! Even the wind – which we […]

Looking back on last Saturday, one of the things that stood out to me the most were the happy tears on this beautiful day!! They started when Breana opened a gorgeous pair of earrings from her parents, and continued at her daddy-daughter first look, and then again when she walked down the aisle! It was […]

What a way to kick off 2020 wedding season!! Kaylyn and Garrett sure know how to throw a party and we had so much fun capturing this special day! It was my first time shooting at St. John in Plaquemine – this church is just stunning. The coordinator mentioned to us before the ceremony that […]

A couple of days ago, I shared my best of 2019 portraits, and I couldn’t wait to go through all of last year’s weddings to do the same!! This post was so much fun for me to pull together, and something about seeing all these photos in one place has me incredibly excited to jump […]
