Whitestone Inn Rainy Wedding

Whitestone Inn Rainy Wedding Morgan and Rebecah’s Whitestone Inn rainy wedding was beautiful! If you’ve ever been to a wedding at Whitestone Country Inn then you understand what I mean when I say beautiful. Waterfront acreage with rolling hills, white picket fence, horses grazing in the field, and if you are lucky you may see an eagle or two. Yes it truly is a “sanctuary for the soul” and I’m so thankful for my fond memories of this place (a dear friend of mine was the original creator of Whitestone) A little (ok a lot) of rain didn’t stop this couple from having a blast with their closest friends and family. I won’t lie I always hate when there’s rain

Downtown Charleston Engagement Session | Bivins and Brittani

  Charleston Engagement Session | Bivins and Brittani This downtown Charleston engagement session was so much fun! I shot Bivins and Brittani’s proposal session last week (see it here) in the Great Smoky Mountains. I love the Smokies, but I’m always up for a downtown Charleston engagement session! I’m very familiar with Charleston because I had family that lived there for years, so it’s always fun to return. Downtown Charleston is historic and beautiful. Every bend and turn there’s something new to see and explore. With alleyways, doorsteps, colorful buildings, and cobblestone streets, Charleston has it all! Tuesday Evening When Bivins asked me to meet them in Charleston I said yes! Charleston is always a yes in my book! We

Smoky Mountains Engagement Proposal | Bivins and Brittani

Smoky Mountains Engagement Proposal When I get a call to shoot any surprise proposal I always get excited. The guy is always nervous, but he normally has a plan. Sometimes those proposal plans work out and sometimes they change. In the end, they always work out! Some people plan lavish things, some people in the middle, and others prefer very simple things with just the two of them. I love anything that people have planned that includes a professional photographer, but that means they have thought out things from beginning to end. If you are planning on having a surprise proposal here is some tips on planning a Smoky Mountains engagement proposal. Bivins had a plan, but that changed a

Wilderness Conversations || Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park

Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park “Aren’t you scared to travel by yourself?” That’s the question I get asked over and over again. My response is always, “Well, the worst thing that could happen is I could die.” People always look at me like I’m crazy. I continue by saying “Well think of it like this… if I had to tell a story around a campfire in heaven of how I got there, I’d want it to be Epic! Who knows how I may die, but I’d rather take my chances and have a cool story to tell than play it safe and miss out on adventures!” People then kind of laugh and say they get it, but something inside

Dear 2020, I’m breaking up with you!

“When she was a child, my love carried a road map in her hand the way other girls carried handkerchiefs.” ― Roman Payne Dear 2020, I’m breaking up with you. It’s not you, it’s me….well kinda. You see, I don’t like to stay stuck in toxic places, and for the most part, well you were just that! Let me start off by saying I would have never thought the world would stop, for you, but it did. There are so many things I could go into here, but to make it simple you were selfish. Above all, I will say thank you for all the madness that you brought. Yes, you read that right, THANK YOU! You may not feel
