jackie and matt are oh so very cool. they had a destination wedding in asheville, nc...and their style came through in every detail.
how would i describe their style? i have no idea...which makes it even cooler. :)
we loved photographing/filming this wedding!!!

melanie and tom. they planned their wedding long distance. they booked me last minute. i met them for the first time on their wedding day. now they live far away and it makes me sad. these two are bright lights. so easy to like and love. this was a wonderful day. there was so much joy and emotion, it was super hard for me to narrow down photos to share. seriously. this is narrowed down.
plus it was at morning glory farm (where david and i got married!!!!!), so naturally it was peaceful, lovely, and full of beauty.
there was just so much to love about this day, and it was an honor to capture you guys last summer. thank you, mel and tom!!!

i have been going back and forth as to whether or not we should post a 2014 recap. since i basically checked out for all of 2014 [my last photo blog was march—MARCH—yikes] this is going to be less of a recap and more of an…update.
social media, blogging, etc. can be a little [a lot] overwhelming for me—what to post? how much to share? why? i struggle with wanting to be authentic [and i am authentically very private :) ] but also wanting to share the beauty of what we are privileged to do full time. weddings. some of our favorite people. beautiful families just loving on each other. our personal photos as our family continues to grow. plus, it’s good for business. people want to see our most recent work. and we want them to see that we are not a joke. or we at least want them to decide for themselves if they think we are a joke based on our most recent work. :)
we don’t have a ton of traditional resolutions for 2015. we are basically just hoping to survive. to be pleasing to the lord as we navigate all the newness set before us. to be faithful with what we are given. this blog is just a tiny tiny piece of that. a step toward being faithful with business, accountability, growth.
so.
what you will see glimpses of below:
a growing belly. the thing we are THE most excited/freaked out about is that we are going to be meeting our little boy on or around march 7th. first baby. quite possibly the first real responsibility either one of us has ever had. :)
a growing family. we had two siblings get married this year. we love love love our family and will be sharing even more of the festivities as time goes on.
a growing business. honored, humbled, and excited. weddings. engagements. families.
and!!!!!
what you will see glimpses of in the future:
a growing belly. haha.
a growing family. baby boy whitlow. and who knows what else?
A growing business. rebranding. more updates, blogs, additions to portfolio. just following where the lord takes us.
2014. what a year. 2015? oh boy.
here are a few highlights...starting with some photos of...me...taken by david. :)
we got to film erica and bryan getting married...and oh what a day. laid back. absolutely beautiful. so sweet. we had the honor of working with some of the best in the business: the schultzes did the amazing photography, katrina from come together events made everything come to life, and of course, erica, whose vision for her wedding is just a taste of all of her talent.
it was a day full of beauty, love, creativity, joy, and heart.
**oh...and i need to point out that when i say "we" filmed it, it means i helped...and david did most of the work. ;) so proud of that guy i married.
