![On Sunday, the temperature reached 100 degrees due to this unusually hot summer. Clouds gathered, and a light rain began to fall. Despite the weather, we continued our shoot in their suite with their fur-babies, [Helo and Jimmy], resulting in an incredible series of photos. Kaitlyn walked to the song "One Man Band" while David waited for her at the altar.
Their story is truly beautiful, and so was their micro-elopement...
Congratulations to The Schneiders!

![VG & Grant - In good Southern fashion, celebrated their wedding with their grandparents, parents, siblings, & closest friends. 06.28
Ah, and the details were really classic + meaningful - Hydrangeas, roses, light blues, and oyster accents on the guests' tables.
VG's mom [ @hopen6378] is a great visionary, and she executed all the planning for her daughter, this being a very special day for all - VG [ @vgn_daniel] is the ONLY granddaughter of the family, and this needs a grand celebration!]
We started the weekend with a wonderful rehearsal at @beaufort_weddings [planned by @dsdaniel00 and @partyperfectionweddings ]. It was a night of great fellowship and love!
The next day, their wedding at the First Methodist church in Morehead City, NC, followed by a reception at the amazing and @moreheadcitycountryclub - The speeches were so good! And a visit by @ms.wuf and @mr.wuf was a surprise while dancing the night away!!!
Congrats to The Daniels'

![Gunnar + Maddie got #engaged this past Memorial Day weekend [ Friday the 5.23, to be exact! ]
This was the coolest #proposal - ALL played out perfectly -
Gunnar: "...Let's go for a walk with the pup..." and then, he propped on one knee, and proposed!
@mads_wern was surprised, and then she was kinda suspicious 😉.... She just knew! She said YES!!!! As you will see in the pictures, the puppy in the distance... was a witness...
A lovely story behind her #engagement ring - Gunnar was able to get her family jeweler to design and deliver the precious ring on time.
This weekend was for celebrations at Maddie's parents' home on the beach; it was a perfect weekend for all!
Congratulations to this lovely pair, and I cannot wait to see what the future brings for their special day!

![Hello friends! I have been wanderlusting and working. Wow, traveling, and while I glanced around, the gentle embrace of Lake Como for the first time, kissing the shores with its crystalline waters and whispering secrets of transformation.
It is my first visit to this enchanting place, and I can feel the air buzzing with opportunity, as if the very essence of growth has woven itself into the fabric of this landscape. And, the mountains stand proudly in the backdrop, their verdant slopes reaching for the heavens, embodying resilience and strength.
Each tree seems to tell a story of patience, of seasons passed, reminding me that growth isn't instantaneous but a journey taken one day at a time. Here, at the edge of this magnificent lake, I feel a kinship with these ancient giants. They inspire me to stretch my arms wider, breathe deeper, and let my roots dig deeper into the soil of experience.
The sun smiles down, casting its warm glow upon me, igniting a sense of warmth within. As I wander along the cobblestone streets of the quaint villages, I feel the pulse of life around me—a vibrant hum of laughter, art, and culture. Each interaction, from the friendly smile of a local to the mesmerizing melodies of musicians, ignites sparks of inspiration. I can almost see my thoughts blossom with every step, unfurling like the delicate petals of a newly blossomed flower.
Sipping a velvety cup of espresso at a charming café, I take a moment to reflect. The rich aromas and the gentle clinking of cups create a symphony that resonates with the idea of savoring every moment. Just as that espresso was crafted with care, I am reminded that my own personal growth requires the same attention and intention. Life is a blend of bitter and sweet, and it’s within this balance that we cultivate our own unique flavor.
As the days waned and the golden hues of the sunset danced upon the lake, I was filled with a sense of connection, both to this magical place and the journey that lay ahead. Spending time with my creative-friends.
The reflections on the water mirror my own aspirations, shimmering with potential.
