Delivering Andrea and Patrick’s collection today and I’m pretty in the ☁️☁️☁️ about it! #weddingday #specialdelivery #epiclove #portraits
The expressions on the faces of the people who love you are seriously magical. I watch so many expressions sweep across faces, but sometimes by the time my camera catches up, the look is gone quicker than a bird flying away. What a delight to connect with someone and capture a moment totally pure in love. 🌸
Creel, all dressed and ready to greet Kenny, taking a moment to sit with her mom and sisters. This portrait is especially lovely to me because of how it happened. I gave the ladies some tips on posture once they sat down, but otherwise this was a moment of their making. They wanted to spend it together, and to have this moment documented in a portrait. 
This made me sit down and think about my own values and how that impacts our work. I think that you can tell a lot about a photographer’s values by scrolling through what they share in their feed. In ours, you won’t see epic photo locations in and of themselves, you’ll see hearty belly laughs, a quiet shared smile, your mom bursting with happiness. For me, those are the kinds of photos that will jog my memory, and the ones I’d be drawn to year-after-year, to remember the feeling. So I could boil it down by saying, I value presence. In our work, we endeavor to support you being in the moment, not posing for us (and obviously, there’s a balance we must juggle there). I sincerely hope you feel that support in your experience with us, because an equal part of a wedding photographer’s work is understanding and managing the effect we have on your family’s wedding day — not just the end photos themselves. Wishing you all love today and everyday. 💜 L

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS! 🎊 May we all bring in 2019 like Tinna, who danced like an effing chaaamp in the muddy hay until the wee hours of the morning. #yasssss #happynewyear #dancedancedance
Heading into my last wedding of the year! ✨Hoping for many more whimsical, fun, happy, stylish and DANCEY couples next year!! And shout out to the creative, prompt, quickthinking, friendly and downright awesome colleagues we have worked with this year. Too many to tag! Looking forward to more beautiful days together!😘 Lauren
I hope everyone is in the midst of a wonderful winter holiday season! My family all lives out of state, so I wasn’t with them on Christmas Day this year, but I was so glad to spend quality time with a lot of family earlier this month. I’m recognizing more and more how hard it gets to stay in close touch when you don’t live in the same state! I think for me this means just making more time in the coming year for little phone calls to just check in. Sending warmth and happiness to you and your chosen or given family in the coming new year. 💛 Lauren
End-of-toast warmth.🖤 Toasts are one of our favorite parts of your wedding to witness — we learn so much about you, your friends, family and the energy you put out into the world. 🥂✨ #clinkclink #toastwithbutter #toastwithjam

Watching her family gather for photos🌹🌹🌹#texasrose #beauty
Happy weekend! I hope you take some personal time for yourself to recharge away from the hustle. I (Lauren) am in NC visiting my family for an early holiday visit! ⛸🌟🍪For me, “weekend time” often feels complicated to plan as a wedding photographer, because we’re shooting most weekends, and then answering emails, calls and scheduling requests throughout the week, in addition to managing thousands of photos. 🤭 It’s something I haven’t figured out yet, but being more regular about my time off and sticking to it is something I want to be more consistent about in 2019. I know that I bring more passion and fun energy to my work when I do! ⚡️I am so grateful for our incredible clients, old and new, and for our amazingly talented colleagues. I am really excited for what 2019 has in store!
Obsessed with this gorgeous portrait of Catherine (photographed by Bonnie) and her beautiful new bump. #styleicon
Teach me how to approach every moment like this? 🖤

Delivering this super sweet DIY backyard wedding today. Jackie 👰🏼 found each and every unique vintage place setting for 110 people, which included dinner, salad and dessert plates, plus cups, saucers and glassware. 🍽💐 She searched thrift stores, estate sales and online markets for these gems! That makes me (Bonnie) very excited. Now she’s selling them and I want them all. 🤪 #howmuchistoomuch #kindredspirits #backyardwedding #DIY
