I knew when I saw their wedding hashtag (#McNabingTheOne), I would love this couple dearly. Everything was perfection. In case you haven't seen the Beale Street Landing Downtown, it is FANTASTIC. It makes for a PERFECT wedding venue also. There isn't much sweeter than the Memphis bridge sunset. It's also a rare occasion that you are able to see a beautiful starry night Downtown, but for a few minutes we had a sudden burst of clear sky and I nabbed the bride and groom for an unforgettable, stunning Memphis bridge photo-op.
Side note, every groom should take notes from Russell. He brought a surprise to their first look. After giving Jennie her gift, he brought out a fantastic champagne toast to begin their portraits with. :)
Loved working with their wedding day coordinator too. Holly Hardin is one of my favorites!!! Her and her hubby are an adorable team!
Read moreJust wait for this amazing wedding. Carey is absolute perfection, and her groom, Justin, couldn't take his eyes off her all day. They are so in love, it makes my heart melt. Their wedding was at Maples Memorial Methodist Church in Olive Branch, MS, and their reception followed at the Olive Branch Country Club. Every single second was a blast.
I hope you enjoy!
Read moreSo in case you weren't aware, Nuha with 17Berkshire is quickly becoming one of my favorite people in the world. What I love about her treats is the fact that you get designer treats that taste homemade. I didn't even like macarons (which is the correct spelling for the dainty little treats she makes - I looked it up) until I had one of her macarons. I had the amazing opportunity to work with her again this past weekend for a 17Berkshire-Inspired Styled Bridal Shower Brunch (yes, I know that's a mouthful). Nuha made Strawberry Cheesecake Chocolate Pyramids, a Caramel Drip Cake, Meringue Kisses, Croquembouche (the cream puff tower), Eclairs, and Raspberry Macarons. My favorite part was eating it all after though. :D Check it out below! Also... Please take note that I have a new number one rule for my life - Gold leaf must be sprinkled on everything.. Always. Please and thank you.
Read moreI met Andrew and Yumi earlier this year. Their story is so sweet. She is from Japan, and he is a world traveler. They met at Union University in Jackson, TN. I attend the Germantown campus for my masters program. So we had an instant connection. As a photographer, a couple like these two are a dream. She is such a gorgeous girl... One of the most gorgeous girls I've ever photographed. I'm so inspired by Asian culture, so a Japanese bride had me absolutely beside myself. Then you add Andrew... or should I say... Chris Pine. These two are bound to have beautiful babies. Andrew's dad officiated the ceremony. It was such an emotional ceremony. Andrew's face when he saw his bride walking down the aisle to him was priceless. Then, at the reception, Yumi (who is an incredible pianist) did a piano duet with her mom and then did a duet with Andrew. Andrew played the guitar in their duet. The song they played was Taylor Swift's Love Story, hence my song choice for their video below.
Read moreIf you are looking for a cuteness overload, look no further. This sweet couple was so relaxed from the beginning to the end of their session. Jennie ROCKED her beautiful green dress. We started around their downtown condo, and then changed and made our way down to Riverside, Mainstreet, and South of Beale. They are getting married this fall at the new Beale Street Landing, and couldn't be more thrilled that they chose us to capture their wedding day. I can't wait to see how this couple's Memphis Wedding goes down! It's going to be a blast for sure! Check out some of my favorite images from their engagement session below. This is why I love photography.
Read moreBefore I met Lauren, I didn't think it was possible someone could love Disney as much as my best friend and me. She kind of looks like a Disney princess, if I'm being honest. I realized this once she was all dressed up on her wedding day. Their wedding was at the gorgeous Kingsway Christian Church followed by a sweet ending at the beautiful Balinese Ballroom in Downtown Memphis.
Read moreJust a short, sweet little peak of Lauren and Michael's wedding day. Check out Michael's adorable reaction to seeing his bride during their first look. My second shooter and I were both crying our eyes out. It was so sweet.
Check her out though! Can you blame him?
