Newlyweds Under the Golden Tuscan Sun

Oh man. This wedding was so epic! Helga and Marc invited me along to document their destination wedding in beautiful Tuscany and it was an absolute dream. Between the amazing couple, access to these gorgeous and vast grounds, and THIS LIGHT, I was in total photo-nerd heaven. And that fact that we were threatened with heavy rain only HOURS before their outdoor ceremony made this so much sweeter!

I love this frame of Elizabeth and Brent just moments after their first look. You can see Elizabeth’s eyes are full of joyful tears and the light looks incredible in the suite at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn.

Here is a photo from a couples’ session at Cannon Beach in Oregon. I’m over-the-moon to announce that I am implementing Portland, Oregon as a home base in addition to Tennessee! This means no travel fees whatsoever for the local area. The PNW grabbed a hold of me last summer, and it’s time I begin splitting my time between the east and the west more!

A Dreamy Look at the Bespoke Wedding Dress Collection

From KAREN WILLIS HOLMES:

We recently shot some new campaign images for our Bespoke collection at the beautiful Bendooley Estate. An exclusive collection of gowns and separate pieces that can be combined to create strikingly unique wedding gowns. Luxurious fabrics, exquisite lace, and intricate handcrafted detail, our Bespoke range is made by hand in Australia. Elegant and refined, contemporary and timeless for the bride who wants to make an entrance.

I love this vibrant color palette that incorporates cactus and succulents into the floral arrangement. The gold flatware and the minimal menu design is a win!
