Backyard Wedding in the Country

There is something so beautiful about simplicity.  When what truly matters is given space to be appreciated, something wonderful happens.  There is little room for stress, people pleasing, worry or chaos when simplicity is given room to breathe.  When I think about Greg and Mandy’s backyard wedding in the country, I think about how beautifully simple it was.

Greg and Mandy were able to have the wedding of their dreams.  Beautiful details, the people they love most and their love for each other filled their wedding day.  Their Backyard Wedding in the Country was such a delight!

Greg and Mandy

Greg and Mandy wanted a simple celebration for their wedding day.  Filled with pretty details and in the backyard of their Alabama home, they got just that.  It was such a relaxing day.  Though the temps ranged in the high 90’s Greg and Mandy enjoyed every second of their wedding day celebration! Guests received the cutest mason jar cups as party favors at the reception as well as a catered dinner from Mandy’s favorite restaurant, Zoe’s Kitchen!  Mandy’s bouquet was my personal favorite, as they were arranged by Elizabeth’s Garden and truly embodied the perfect cascading design.  From the Toms brand wedding shoes both Mandy + Greg wore to the summer celebrations, this backyard wedding in the country was such a joy for Mandy + Greg!

The best way to spend the day 🎃 The perfect fall The best way to spend the day 🎃 

The perfect fall day • hiking through the mountains • homemade costumes • intentionally visiting people we love • collecting leaves, treats & memories 🍁 🍬 🥾
Bare feet in a flower field, mountain air, golden Bare feet in a flower field, mountain air, golden light kissing cheeky grins, and the kind of laughter that makes you wish you could pause time.

The end of summer always feels a little bittersweet — a reminder that seasons change, little ones grow, and these ordinary moments become the memories we treasure most.

So here’s to an evening in the flowers, a golden sunset, and this beautiful, fleeting season of life. 🤍⛰️Want a session like this one ? I’m offering these in just a few weeks !!
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who r I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who radiated so much JOY!  Alida + Noel wedding day was SUCH a fantastic celebration.  From the sentimental moments, to the ones that left you laughing, each part of the day was filled to the brim and overflowing with love and joy.  These two got married in Harrisonburg, VA surrounded by their family and friends.  It was SUCH a marvelous day.  Can you feel the love through the photos?  I might be biased— but I totally can!!

Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit & the littles have their first day of school. 

So much joy filled our days this Summer. The beach. The lake. The river. Friends upon friends. Two lost teeth. Our first caught fish. The sprinkler in the backyard. Ella Langley on repeat. Learning to play games as a family. Friday fun nights.  So many adventures & not nearly enough time. We adventured. We tried new things. The sun bleached their hair & they each grew so much. 🥹☀️ 🌊
There’s something about fall that feels like comin There’s something about fall that feels like coming home.

Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, the golden light, or the way life naturally slows down after a busy summer. Whatever it is, this season has always been my absolute favorite. I get giddy just thinking about crisp mornings & cinnamon flavored things, crunchy leaves & flannel anything.

I love that fall invites us to gather around the table a little longer, cheer a little louder at football games, wander through pumpkin patches, and soak up the little moments that somehow become the biggest memories.

As a photographer, I get to witness this season through the eyes of so many wonderful families—and it’s a reminder every year that these moments are worth holding onto.

Tell me... half of you are ready for Fall to be here and half of you aren’t. Which team are you on ?! And what’s your favorite thing about fall? 🍂👇
Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four y Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four years of little Lina. Wow 🥹 She’s everything we prayed she would be & so much more. Lina is joyful, full of confidence, a lover of books , introverted & she’s never met a dog she didn’t like. Loving her is like watching your heart gain legs & curiously explore this big wonderful world. Our golden haired girl is so much fun. She loves “girl dates”, painting her nails, cooking with momma, anywhere there is water & “relaxing with a snack”. 

Angelina Joy, watching you bloom & grow is an honor. You radiate hope simply by being exactly who you are. I’m so abundantly grateful that I get to be your momma. 🫶🏻🐾🍓🌼🍭🫖

Young, wild and THREE ! Faith Marvelee you are al Young, wild and THREE !

Faith Marvelee you are all things vibrant, adventurous & you live life to the fullest. You are a living exclamation mark 🥹♥️ You have the biggest heart and love tending to those younger than you (babies). You love the idea of being a momma & are always quick to keep your siblings in line. Yo don’t do anything halfway- you’re ALL IN! If there is music, you’re dancing. If someone needs help, you’re the first to offer assistance. You rarely sit still & if you’re moving, you’re running. You’re my only child who potty trained in one week just because they wanted to! You’re spicy & fun, carefree and tender. I love you, little one. Cheers to three !!

Instagram went rogue & edited a handful of images in a weird black and white. Ooops !

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
