Still not over these flat lay details. 🥹💍 and the fact that the bride designed the invites herself! 🤯

There is no limit on what you can include in your flat lay shots! I especially love when couples provide florals or ribbon to include in their detail photos.

Couples, what would be a must have item you’d want to include in yours?

Photographers, what are your favorite items to photograph?

Max is 1! 🥲

It’s crazy how fast him and his brother are growing, I’ve been lucky enough to shoot Grow With Me packages for both boys and it’s been a blast.

Kylie + Will’s wedding day was so filled with love, laughter, and UT game day references. 🏈 what else could you expect when you get married in Knoxville the day they play Alabama!?

Melissa + JR’s wedding was one for the books! The colors, the lighting, the weather, everything came together perfectly for their big day at 🥰 it’s basically impossible to share every image from their sneak peek on 10 slides, but just know that I reeeeally want to!

I think it’s football season or something? 🏈

Yay sports! I’m not really a sports fan except for hockey 🏒

This wedding party was a blast to be around 🥳

Andie + Parker surrounded themselves with such a loving, helpful, and fun crew that it made the day feel like a big celebration.

Swipe to the end for one of my favorite groomsmen photos ever!!

Liam is one of the cutest kids around town! The Wilson family booked my Grow With Me Package and I love that I get to see them every 3 months and document his growth! It’s so fun to make little “themes” based off what they’re doing or enjoying in that stage of life.

The Muro fam recently welcomed another baby boy into their lives and I am so happy for them! I took their maternity photos with their first and it was so cool to see them again for their second!

There are a lot of moments on a wedding day that brings me to tears, but a first dance is DEFINITELY one of em 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's an overwhelming amount of emotions for newlyweds to have all eyes on them as they embrace each other for the first time since saying their vows. Something about this moment between Salwa and Eduardo just radiates a passion, fire and love that is indescribable and will forever be engrained in my memory 💞
