Oh, how I’ve been waiting SO long to share Ashlee’s beautiful Greenbrier Resort bridal portrait session in West Virginia! This has probably been the hardest session to sit on ever!
I want to introduce you to one of the most important people in my life. We’ve been best friends since kindergarten. We were in Girl Scouts together until we were 18. We even attended JMU together for 2 years! This girl has cried with me, laughed with me, and held my dress at my own wedding. Twice. She’s an incredible friend, sister, Nurse Practitioner, and now WIFE.
And this past weekend, I got to ugly cry and stand beside her as she walked down the aisle to marry the love of her life, Graham. I have prayed for this day, and for this man. And she waited (and waited) until God’s timing was just right for them fall in love. Their celebration this weekend was incredible and encapsulated the two of them so perfectly.
In the middle of March during a trip back to my hometown, Ashlee, her sister, mom, and I all hopped in a car and headed to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. I just knew that The Greenbrier Resort was going to be the perfect place for her bridal portrait session. The day was calling for rain, but we were able to avoid it and instead captured the most beautiful photos of my best friend in her Essence of Australia wedding gown. Big windows throughout the resort, and The Greenbrier’s signature bright and bold wallpaper and carpet were beautiful accents for her photos. We spent a couple of hours laughing and walking the halls, finding amazing staircases and hidden spots to take photos.
The end result were some of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken, and they’re of Ashlee being the happiest I’ve ever seen her; full of anticipation of her wedding day.

Arrington Vineyards Proposal Photographer | Nashville, TN Some proposals are sweet. Some are spontaneous. And then there are the ones that take your breath away — not just in the moment, but in the months of quiet planning, coordination, and love that made them possible. Garrett’s proposal to Alexandra was the latter. A Florida Couple, […]

There are some love stories you feel lucky to witness from the very beginning — and Gabby and Miles are exactly that kind of story for me. I had the joy of hiding among the vines to capture the moment Miles got down on one knee, and now, months later, I found myself standing on […]

October engagement photos at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens — Nashville, Tennessee There’s something about October at Cheekwood that feels almost cinematic. The light goes golden earlier, the gardens shift into their rich autumn palette, and the whole estate takes on this quiet, unhurried magic — which made it the absolute perfect backdrop for Jon and […]

There are venues that feel like backdrops, and then there are venues that feel like characters in the story. The Estate at Cherokee Dock is the latter — a place so layered with beauty that every turn of the grounds offered something new, something unexpected, something made entirely for photographs. — Rachael Knaak, Harp & […]

Some places hold more than memories — they hold the beginning of everything. For Ethan and Veronica, that place was Vanderbilt University.
