I remember meeting Taylor two years ago this fall at work. We were then both 22, both working the same first post-grad job, and both in a 4-year-long relationship with the men we would marry. When Taylor got engaged early this year, I was so, so excited for her! I had to run over to her desk to hear all about their sweet engagement story. (Way to go, Brett!) She had mentioned wanting to talk about wedding photography and I was super excited, and as her wedding date got closer she made an appointment for us to talk details! It turns out, our appointment was set for the morning after my own engagement and I didn’t even know it! So now, we’re both engaged and ready to be wed in 2015!

Taylor is my first bride since becoming a bride-to-be as well and it has been so great going through this experience as both a client and a photographer. I can definitely understand how hard it can be to make decisions regarding your wedding because you want everything to be perfect. So, when Taylor and Brett told me they for sure wanted to have me as their photographer, I was so honored.

Photographing their engagement session at their wedding venue was perrrrrfect! I loved the elegant southern charm of the property, and I’m a sucker for open fields! It is actually my number one favorite type of backdrop – open, beautiful and natural.

I can’t wait to do it again on their wedding day, and I can’t wait to see this beauty walk down the aisle! When you have a gorgeous couple who isn’t afraid to have fun and a perfect venue? Just another reason I’m so thankful for this job. Taylor and Brett – this is just a quick preview into a few of my favorites of the day. I hope you enjoy! :)
