Ryan + Britney

  • A Berkeley Plantation Wedding

We always said that whoever won over Britney’s heart was going to have to be one special man. We honestly couldn’t envision what he would be like. We had MANY talks about this in college. Would he love the same things Britney loved? Would he fit into their awesome family seamlessly? Was she going to meet him when she moved to NYC? What’s he going to look like?! I think we were all so interested in who Britney’s future husband was going to be because we knew that it would take a lot to win over her heart.

Brian + Casey | Engaged

  • Historic Church Hill Engagement Pictures

Well, I don’t know about you… but I’m loving these engagement sessions recently! They have been so beautiful and bright, and the light has been dreamy! This shoot is special because it has been a long time coming! I asked Brian how long they had been dating, and it has been over 6 years!! I remember those days! Michael and I dated for 8 years and so I know Brian and Casey have to be SO ready to start their new life together! We’ve known Casey’s family from our church, and even though Casey was at college during most of our years in youth ministry and we didn’t get to know one another until now, I’ve always thought she was so gorgeous!!

Derek + Kerri | Engaged

  • A Cazenovia, New York Engagement Shoot

It was YEARS ago that sweet Kerri came to my home for her coaching session. We chatted, and talked and brainstormed… I loved her! Her joy and her smile were contagious! Kerri is one of those people who make you see the world in a happier way. Her joyful spirit is one of my favorite things about her, and I remember thinking way back then that she needed to find a guy who would love and appreciate her happiness!
