The River Place Styled Shoot I don’t do a ton of styled shoots because of the whole time thing. It’s hard and takes a lot of time to basically plan a mini wedding. Lots of details, lots of coordinating, lots of time. In another season of life where I didn’t have two young kiddos, I […]

Backyard Elopement May 16th was their original date. They had planned it all out, we went to Gatlinburg for their engagement photos, and it was set to roll with all their favorite people in Pine Mountain State Park. And then Corona happened. Like you’ve heard dozens of times already. Like you’ve experienced for yourself probably. […]

Wedding Card Designs and Wedding Place Cards by Basic Invite I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve been doing flatlays every single wedding for the last year and a half or so and really marketing them! That’s because I LOVE them. I love details and I love styling them and I love paper products. In case […]

Sampon’s Hollow Elopement Jonathan and Kaela had a Sampson’s Hollow Elopement last week with two very special little guests. One of the massive benefits to doing a small intimate wedding is that you can really do it however you like, with absolutely no rules. Sometimes this means letting your pups be your only guests. Technically […]

Dandridge Wedding This couple decided to go forward with their May 9th wedding despite the coronavirus.

Elope and have a super small gathering now. Really, there are so many more options than that. You can stream […]

Wedding Pandemic Options This is not a Wedding Planning 101 post I ever foresaw myself writing. I don’t think any of us expected there to be a whole season of weddings so drastically changed by a single event. Nonetheless, here we are. So what are your options? As I’m writing this, I know a lot […]

Sunset Castleton Engagement Mikia and Wes are getting married August 1st, 2020, at Castleton Farms, and that’s actually their original wedding date! 5 of the 7 August weddings I have are reschedules from April and May, but not these two. They just somehow knew August would be the golden month and snatched it up! The […]

Baxter Gardens Engagement I learned something about Lindsay and Kendrick at their engagement session that I love. They are both hilarious. The entire session at Baxter Gardens, they had each other laughing, had me laughing, and it felt more like I was hanging out with friends than taking engagement photos. Typically, I do a combination […]
