Last March, I took Tori & Jesse’s engagement photos here in Ellijay and I was immediately obsessed with them! Not only are they just so cute together, but they are both so kind, funny, and thoughtful people. I feel so so lucky with my couples - after every engagement shoot I feel like I have new friends, and I come away feeling so grateful that I get to photograph such special & beautiful people! Just over a year later, on a breezy spring day at Summit Farms in Ellijay, GA, Tori & Jesse tied the knot with their friends and family. When I first arrived, the wind was somewhat alarming - knocking over decor and blowing chairs over. However, right before Tori started to walk down the aisle, it totally cleared up and made way for the most beautiful ceremony.
Imagine getting married to the love of your life on the most perfect fall day in the North GA Mountains among your closest family and friends - yes please!! Ellijay has become such a special place to me over the last few years, and this Autumnal Wedding was the perfect way to capture Ellijay’s beauty. The changing leaves, the vast fields and forests, the fall breeze and leftover summer sun - it couldn’t have been more dreamy.
Kevin + Tia are such a sweet, special couple - this day was actually the anniversary of when they met and I just loved spending this morning celebrating with them! We watched the sunrise come up over the mountains, they read some meaningful vows and said ‘I do,’ we went to the Ellijay Coffeehouse for coffee (my favorite place in Ellijay - their breakfast is so good too!!), and then ended the morning at one of my favorite North GA lakes with a charcuterie board and a picnic blanket. It was so perfect!
Amy + Blake’s Wedding Day was so so special. When Amy first reached out, she mentioned that her dream wedding was in the Blue Ridge Mountains (outdoors), but that she was worried about how cold it would be, and didn’t want to make her family freeze at their wedding! So we came up with the idea to do a first look in the mountains, with just Amy + Blake, and then we headed back to their cabin and had their ceremony with the fireplaces on inside, and such a cozy atmosphere.
Hannah + Reed’s intimate Dolomites elopement was an unforgettable morning exploring the Italian Dolomites in Auronzo di Cadore, Italy. We woke up before sunrise and drove to the location we had decided on the day before - but when we got there, the fog was so thick that you couldn’t see a thing. So instead, we headed to a back up location and it was absolutely perfect. We hiked to a little area where you could see the mountains at their peak beauty, and began an intimate and private ceremony - with a view!
Isabel + Jon’s wedding is what DREAMS ARE MADE OF!! The dress, the color palette, the details, the friends, the family, the venue, just everything was so so magical and I feel so lucky to have captured their special day.
This intimate forest elopement felt like a real life fairytale. Drew and Casey are the sweetest couple, and their love is so so beautiful. We got the perfect weather, and Casey wore the cutest thrifted cowgirl boots with her vintage wedding dress.
Olivia + Christian reached out to me with the dream of “running off in the mountains and eloping somewhere beautiful” and I knew just the perfect spots here in Ellijay, GA!
