Karyssa | 2015 Senior

Hey all! I am so excited to share with you some of my favorite from Karyssa's fun senior session. Last week I headed down to a few cute towns in Massachusetts with Karyssa, her sister, and her mom. I am slowly starting to fall back in love with New England, and I can't wait to do more sessions up here!

We started the session at a cute little town on the water in Massachusetts

As we were walking around, we found a little alley way and Karyssa killed it...

 Like absolutely killed it!

 Look at those gorgeous girls!

 We then went to the beach, which is always a good idea.

 They then brought me to this beautiful estate they found this past summer...as soon as we walked onto the grounds, I felt like I had been transported to Italy.

 And then we ended back at the beach...

Just as a reminder, my senior session special is going on through October 19th! So set up your senior session with me and save $25 off the normal price.

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Julia & Kyle | Greenville Engagement Photographer

I remember the day Kyle proposed to Julia. I was out in California second shooting a wedding with Niki. Kyle had already showed me the ring and he had also told me when he was proposing so I knew when it was coming. (side note: it was so much fun to keep this secret from Julia, but at the same time it was so hard!) It was still early out in California but I remember checking my phone shortly before we left the hotel for the church and I saw I had a message from Julia saying that she was engaged! I had to keep it together since we were in the middle of a wedding day, but inwardly I was screaming, crying tears of joy, and bursting with excitement. Julia has been my best friend since we were 3 years old. 

Julia and I have been through it all. We’ve laughed together, cried together, had serious conversations, had conversations where we were definitely not being serious, we had countless sleepovers growing up…I remember one time in high school (I’m pretty sure it was freshman year) we stayed up super late writing research papers and once we were done we ate almost an entire package of Oreos…not much has changed. ;)

I am beyond happy for Julia and Kyle! They are one of the sweetest couples out there. I was so honored that they asked me to do their engagement pictures. Julia asked me to be one of her bridesmaids and I am so honored and excited to stand by her side as she says “I do” to the love of her life!

We had so much fun taking these pictures. Julia and Kyle’s personalities really come out through these. I just love seeing the way they look at each other, you can just see that they love each other so much. I'm so excited that I'm finally getting around to sharing these with you all!

Julia, thanks for being the best friend a girl could ever have. You’ve been there for me through everything. Thanks for being the twin sister I never had. ;) I am honored to stand by your side next summer!

Kyle, you are getting one special girl. I can tell that you love her so much. I am so happy for you two! 

 Pretty sure this is one of my favorite photos now. :)

 You can just tell my their faces how they are so in love.

Taylor & Adam | Married | New Hampshire Wedding Photographer

Taylor and I have been good friends since around our junior year of high school. Our second year of college, she came to the same university with me and our friend Julia. She is such a super sweet girl and I am so happy for her and Adam! I met Adam when Taylor started talking with him. It's been fun to see their relationship grow from the beginning. 

Their wedding happened on a beautiful New England day in May. In the beginning of the week, the forecast called for rain...lots and lots of rain. We were definitely prepared for dealing with rain but as soon as we got to the wedding location, the clouds went away and it was absolutely beautiful!

Here are some of my favorites from the day! Just a warning, it's a long post;)

Taylor seeing Adam for the first time :)

Taylor looked like a princess!

 Check out that bling ;)

Adam's face when he saw Taylor at their first look? Priceless. This is one reason why I love first looks! 

Their first dance was so sweet.

 I just loved this bridal party! They were so much fun!

 Seriously Taylor, you are stunning!

Adam seeing his bride walk down the aisle...

 MARRIED!!!

 Kisses from her daddy after the ceremony

 Taylor and Adam had a pop corn bar instead of a candy bar...so fun!

 This picture just makes me laugh so I had to add it!

 Husband and wife!

So incredibly thankful for this girl and her friendship!

 Taylor and Adam, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

A bunch of us girls from our graduating class. I loved being back together again!

 It is very hard to get a normal picture with us ;)

The guys had some fun with their car...

And they lived happily ever after....;)
