I recently took a trip to experience for myself what the mystery of Sea Island was like. As a wedding photographer, I enjoy taking “research” trips to specific locations and venues that I would love to work at one day. Sea Island has been on my list for a while. Nestled along the coast of Georgia lies a hidden gem, a place where the whispers of the sea mingle with the rustle of palm fronds and the warmth of Southern hospitality envelops you like a soft, comforting embrace. Welcome to Sea Island.

As a traditional bride designing a fine art wedding, being drawn to the classic black, white, and green color palate makes a lot of sense. Today, I want to show and encourage you not to be afraid to branch out and incorporate color! Adding beautiful colors into your fine art wedding design not only elevates the details and story telling of your day, colors are also classy and timeless — it won’t go out of style.

As a fine art bride, details that tell a story while also being classy, editorial and timeless can some times be easier said than done. Today, I am sharing 6 timeless details to include in your wedding day design that won’t go out of style.

This past week I had the pleasure of visiting Jekyll Island, GA, for the first time. A beautiful Spanish moss Oak tree driveway greeted us at the entrance of the island. Just down the lane and around the corner, the majestic Jekyll Island Club Resort peeked above the tree lined sky as we drove underneath all the hanging moss.

The Cliff House sits beautifully on the oceanfront of Bald Head cliff in southern Maine. It overlooks the ocean’s edge and the adorable Nubble Lighthouse. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you see and hear the ocean waves crashing as they hit the rocks down below.

As a destination wedding photographer, capturing a wedding at a new (to me) venue or location brings me so much joy and creative excitement! I think I can say that most wedding industry artists/vendors feel the same way. From time to time, when speaking with potential clients, the question of “have you shot (or worked) a wedding at my venue before?” will come up in our conversation. I love addressing any questions, but this is one I specifically wanted to clarify! I think this is really important information for any couple to understand as you plan your wedding and start booking your favorite vendors!

As a past fine art bride myself, finding the perfect wedding shoe for my fine art wedding was really important to me. Here is a selection of wedding shoe brands for the fine art bride that come highly recommended by myself and my past brides – tried and true.

A classic Christmas wedding in Woodstock, Vermont inspired by the classic movie, “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Travel through images to darling Woodstock, Vermont and fall in love with the snow covered streets filled with New England history and idyllic memories.

New England has my heart for so many, many reasons. One of those reasons is the multitude of gorgeous, historical estates, hotels and wedding venues that are nestled all across the dreamy region, including The Mount in Lenox, MA.

Adorned with heavenly hydrangeas, garden roses, butterflies and a luxurious green lawn, this historical Victorian Inn dates back to 1716.

One of my favorite new wedding trends I love seeing are the mixed print floral dresses for bridesmaids! It is so classy, chic and fun!

This is your friendly reminder to print your images --- the professional photos and the iPhone photos!

Fine Art wedding photography is a photographer's intentional approach of storytelling your wedding day with an editorial style.

The most significant change there will be in the wedding industry is the return of smaller, intimate weddings – micro luxury weddings. We will be seeing weddings consisting of smaller groups (25-50 guests) of your closest family and friends celebrating your marriage. Intimate weddings are classy and traditional and very European.

On a gorgeous September day at Mount Hope Farm, while watching a distant storm slowly roll in off the Atlantic ocean, Mara and Tim stood in front of their dearest friends and family and said “I do”.

Over the summer, I stumbled upon this really cute, quaint tiny treehouse in Nashville, TN! I had no clue there was one so close that I just had to see about staying there!
