There aren't many weddings that I get this excited for, but Atheia and Brandon's wedding has to be at the top of the list. Not only was their wedding one of the most absolutely beautiful weddings I've ever been to, but both are some of the best people you'll ever come across.

Let's back up a year and a half.

I had the absolutely incredible honor of flying to Paris to photograph their proposal. Seeing their friendship and bond while getting to know them on the trip was an incredible thing to experience. Both are tremendously huge role models in both Tray and I's life, and we're so thankful for them. Looking back on that trip and just how huge of an impact it had on my life makes every photograph I've taken of them a thousand times more important!

I gained a husband and new family out of that trip, and this past weekend was their turn to tie the knot. I've been so excited to show the world how beautiful of a bride Atheia was, so here's just a few of my favorites from her bridal session!

Congrats Atheia and Brandon!

Let's just start off with the fact that Ashley is probably one of the coolest seniors you'll come across, I think it's pretty obvious in these photos. How often do you get to photograph seniors in super fancy, floor length fur coats?

Can I go back in time and be this cool as a senior?

I love photographing seniors that are fashion forward and giving there session an editorial feel. Check out the images from this session below!

I was so excited from the moment Aaron and Natalie asked me to photograph them since I've been following them for a while, but I knew it was the perfect duo the moment they both gasped when dogs ran past. I mean, who doesn't love a good dog?

I love sessions that are non-stop laughing from start to finish, and this one was most definitely that!

When Ben and Jessica contacted me about photographing their wedding, I was more than ecstatic. Seriously, their contagious joy made it more than easy to get my creativity flowing with their engagement session. Also, take a look at Jessica's ring, its literally one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!
