Once Franklin and Taylor were engaged, there was no question as to the venue: the wedding had to be in the chapel that originally brought them together.
From our first conversation, their vision was clear – sophisticated moments that honored both the venue’s unique design qualities and their personal style. The Paper House, with its bold color and intentional design, provided the perfect canvas for their narrative.

On the blog, you'll find wedding photography advice, planning, and featured articles.
I've collected some of my favorite celebrations here. These thoughtfully curated weddings showcase the beauty of genuine connection. From intimate vows in the Tennessee mountains to grand celebrations under the stars, each feature tells a unique love story through an editorial lens.
What makes a wedding "featured" worthy? It's rarely about size or grandeur, though both can be breathtaking. Instead, it's about those intangible moments that make each wedding extraordinary. The way light catches a tear during the first look. The subtle squeeze of hands during the ceremony. The quiet laughter shared between generations on the dance floor.
These features illustrate the art of thoughtful wedding photography. Each entry offers an intimate look at my documentation process. You'll see sweeping shots of centuries-old stone chapels and delicate details of hand-calligraphed place cards. Learn how I work with natural light for editorial-worthy portraits. Discover how I capture spontaneous moments that make each wedding unique.
For planning couples, these posts offer more than visual inspiration.
They're your window into future possibilities. Through these features, you'll gain practical insights. Timeline planning. Lighting considerations. Those little-known details that elevate wedding photographs from beautiful to extraordinary. See how different venues photograph throughout the day. Learn how various color palettes translate on camera. Understand my approach to both traditional and unconventional celebrations.
Beyond technical aspects, these features showcase the heart behind my photography: preserving authentic moments.
Here you'll find families blending traditions. Couples breaking conventions. Celebrations balancing elegance with personality. Each featured wedding represents careful planning, creative collaboration, and artistic documentation.
Whether you're planning your own wedding or simply appreciate fine photography, I trust you'll find something here on the blog that moves you. Take your time exploring these stories. They're carefully selected to inspire, inform, and help you envision your own perfect day. Connect on Instagram or send me a note.
