taylor & caleb are married!

By | Weddings | 6 Comments

there were certain points during taylor & caleb’s wedding day where i had to shake my head and remind myself that this was real. it seemed like a movie- everything was planned to perfection and i found myself in the most beautiful settings, surrounded by gorgeous people with seriously fabulous accessories. and the best part was- everyone else was enjoying it too! i didn’t hear a whisper of anxiety the entire day- everyone took their cues from taylor who’s deep love and respect for caleb kept a confident smile on her face all day. there was no doubt that everyone loves taylor & caleb together and no one lost sight of what the day was about- not even when taylor put on her fantastic necklace (close call though)!

taylor really thought ahead about how she wanted her images to look- she picked a clean, white room with lots of natural light for her hair and makeup (by the outrageously talented raney o’keefe) and donned a beautiful silk robe for the getting ready process. she has such a natural glamor and i love how it shows in every detail of her day; it really makes the images more cohesive which, selfishly, i love! :)

i love this next set where taylor’s little sister is helping her get into her dress- it’s so sweet to see sisters who are also great friends:

meanwhile, caleb was looking like a rockstar by the parking deck. for some reason we loved the parking decks around their venue- look for more later! anyway, yes, caleb’s the lucky guy:

taylor & caleb had a short and sweet first look at their venue, the beautiful biltmore ballrooms, before we headed out for some portraits around midtown:

taylor spent the last few minutes before the ceremony with her best friends and her mom- everyone was so encouraging and excited for her- it was a sweet moment:

taylor’s dad officiated the ceremony which made everything just that much sweeter:

LOVE this next image- they both look so happy and their surroundings just echo their romance:


taylor & caleb, we feel so blessed to have been part of such an amazing day. thank you so much for asking us to capture it all; everything was stunning! we wish you guys the very best!

the hunton family rocks at life.

so matt and i have been sitting here trying to remember when exactly it was that we first met stephen. i know there was some email correspondence when stephen headed up a photography project for our community but i think we officially met him at a mixer hosted by the legendary, zack arias. sidenote for photogs: you should know this name, zack arias. if you’re at all interested in amazing lighting techniques, look into onelight. if you’re just starting out, look into photo 101. and if you’re into photogs with an inspiring passion for honest expression, you need to shake his hand. sidenote over. so we were at zack’s when we first met stephen. he was on the verge of quitting his day job and diving head first into photography and, of course, we totally wanted that for him. since that first meeting we’ve watched his portfolio explode with awesome projects. he is rocking it. when we first met kristine, we immediately understood why stephen felt the confidence to take a chance on starting his own business. kristine is just so strong! she’s encouraging and optimistic and adventurous- what a great pair they make! oh, and i can’t leave out that they are parents to two of the cutest kids ever, with the most energy i’ve ever seen in my life. seriously guys, you wonder how kristine maintains her hot mom physique? two words: adler & beckett:

this is pretty much the perfect sequence to capture their shoot- adler & beckett LOVE to run and they are so cute doing it! i can already tell i’m going to have a hard time disciplining my kids with a straight face if they are even close to as hilarious as these two!

thankfully, kristine’s sister rylie was there to entertain the boys (black eyed peas dance parties were the entertainment of choice, LOVE) while we grabbed some images of just stephen & kristine. this is a favorite of mine:

kristine brought popsicles for a treat at the end of the shoot and the silence that followed the opening of the pops was complete- adler & beckett are pretty serious when it comes to their treats! :)

a couple more of stephen & kristine before we called it a wrap; we just loved the texture of the corrugated metal:


stephen & kristine, thank you so much for trusting us to capture your family. it was something totally new for us and it gave us a whole new perspective on shooting action! ;) seriously, you guys have an awesome family and we hope you enjoy the images.

dorsett & preston are married!

By | Weddings | 5 Comments

every weekend we feel so blessed to be invited into a family to celebrate love, happiness and the future while laughing about the old stories that brought everyone together. it’s one of my favorite details about our job- marveling over how a casual glance or comment can allow a relationship to begin and eventually lead to a new family. every week when i write these blog posts i rack my brain trying to find the right words to describe the wonder i feel as we capture a couple in love and every week, while remembering back, i am blown away by the uniqueness of every story. at the moment, i believe i find myself thinking about writing and words and stories because you cannot think about dorsett & preston without your mind drifting to literature. they are romantics, critics and lovers of all things literary. spending the morning with dorsett allowed me to experience the way she views life- as a story. everything woven together. everything graceful and remarkable with an abundance of reasons to smile. as she opened the door into her dad’s library her face lit up at the sight of so many books- many, i’m sure, she’s read but also a few treasures still waiting to be discovered. she left me in the quiet with her dress and, as i shot, i had a feeling that it would be an extraordinary day.

every week i love looking through matt’s images of the guys- they give me so much inspiration for shooting the ladies at the next wedding! i’ll be trying this next one for sure- only, i guess with makeup instead of shaving cream… :)

it was so sweet to watch the mothers laugh and talk and marvel over the beautiful bride. it’s always a joy to see two families really come together as one when their children get married:

dorsett is actually a wedding photographer herself so despite the heat she knew a little extra time for images of her and preston was important. we all blotted like crazy, kept water bottles nearby and captured some of our favorite portraits ever:

my favorite. a little abstract, super shallow & romantic:


dorsett & preston, thank you guys so much for trusting us to photograph this chapter of your lives. we had a wonderful day with you guys and we wish you a beautiful life together. hope you’ve enjoyed your adventure in spain and france, can’t wait to see pictures!
