Winter Courthouse Elopement I first met Melissa a few years ago when I photographed her as she graduated nursing school. At that session, she mentioned she had a boyfriend she had been dating for awhile, and they hoped to get married soon. Then, the pandemic hit. Melissa is a nurse, and Brooker is in the […]

An elegant micro wedding at Homewood Castle in Asheville, NC When Savannah initially reached out to me, she and Will were planning to get married at the downtown Asheville courthouse.

At the point I’m writing this, however, it’s almost exactly 1 month until the wedding at The Quarry. I promised Amy I wouldn’t share these photos until after her big day so no one accidentally […]

Castleton Micro Wedding I haven’t shot a micro wedding in forever, and last week, I shot two in one week. Tiffany and Jeff’s destination micro wedding was on Saturday, and Sydney and Luke’s Castleton micro wedding was on Tuesday. The day was seriously perfect.
