5 Reasons You May Be a Destination Bride!

  • Wedding Wednesday

We are currently in route to NYC to fly to ITALY to photograph a beautiful wedding for a very special couple!! We’re taking Evy AND my sister, her husband and their baby boy! Crazy right?! The cutest part of this experience thus far has been getting Evy’s passport in the mail! She looks so cute and tiny!!!!! So as we were gearing up for this trip, I have been thinking a lot about destination weddings! We just photographed another destination wedding LAST weekend in Hatteras (very southern point of OBX!) and now we’re traveling across the ocean for another one!

Matthew + Cameron

  • Hatteras Destination Wedding

Cameron is a photographer! So you know what that means…. it means that I went into this wedding day knowing that pictures were a HIGH priority and I didn’t take that responsibility lightly!! We ended up with some incredible portraits that are going to be saved in my “favorites” folder for SURE!!! I love ending a wedding day knowing that I have hundreds upon hundreds of images that I’m proud of! Maybe I’m still on a high from not shooting for so long during maternity leave, but I was LOVING life during this wedding! It was such a blast!

It’s His 31st Birthday!

  • Happy Birthday Michael!

It’s Michael’s 31st Birthday and I have to admit that it snuck up on me!! We’ve had a REALLY busy last couple of weeks and the busy continues this week as we head to Italy for a wedding! This year started off a little scary. I was diagnosed with an aggressive hand tumor and went into emergency surgery while 9 months pregnant. We moved into our new house 12 days before that surgery, and we were up to our necks in doctors appointments.
