If you follow me at all on social media, you already know this…but Saturday was our last fall wedding, and I cannot BELIEVE we are already here! I have been anticipating Amy and Andy’s wedding all year, and not at all because it was the last, but because I absolutely ADORE these two and knew it was going to be such a special day! I mentioned in their engagement session post, but I totally clicked with Amy the first time I met her- it was like I was having coffee with an old friend. Then, after their engagement session where I got to see Amy and her Andy (and their Addie!) interact together, I knew I was hooked on this group! Amy told me very early into our initial meeting that Andy had a daughter she was crazy about, and I have absolutely loved getting to watch their relationship together- it is so clear that they adore each other. And Addie is SUCH a daddy’s girl…so getting to watch her daddy marry a woman she is crazy about…it was just a beautiful day. Beyond all of this sweetness, Amy’s and Andy’s families were the absolutely kindest and most welcoming- they went so far above and beyond to make us feel like friends and family ourselves, and they were just so warm and welcoming! And the icing on the cake…I LOVE a wedding like this with everything all in one location- it is SO easy on the guests, the timeline, and the views–just wait until you see how fall looks at the beautiful Long Bridge Golf Course!
Love these fall colors and textures!!Amy and all her dark purple…a girl after my own heart for sure! Our main wedding color was purple. This first look was absolutely incredible. Beautiful scenery, a VERY excited groom, and a bride who hardly noticed the chill in the air because she was so GLAD to just be in her soon-to-be-husband’s arms! These moments are memories for a lifetime for them.Amy’s flowers were from County Market and they were incredible!All these colors….!!Amy you are BEAUTIFUL!LOVE this shot of Michael’s…he has grown as a photographer SO MUCH during this year and I am SO honored to get to do this with him!!!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!
