Ellijay Mountain Wedding - Summit Farms, Ellijay, GA
Ellijay Mountain Wedding - Summit Farms, Ellijay, GA

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.

This sweet girl!!! I absolutely loved my sunrise shoot in the mountains with Megan. We showed up not knowing if we would see the sun or not, but we did get some beautiful mist across the hills and water at first. After about 15 minutes of shooting, amazing sun beams started shining through the sky and the clouds opened up to the most BEAUTIFUL sunrise ever. I see a lot of sunrises, and this one in particular was so so special.

Ali & Dante travelled up to Ellijay, GA from Florida with their sweet dogs, Gunner & Chloe, wanting a ‘winter elopement in the mountains’ and they definitely got it!! This was one of the coldest days of my entire life - 27 degrees with an 11 degree wind chill. I had to take frequent breaks to keep my fingers from going numb, but it was 100000% worth it. They got married on top of my favorite mountain overlook here in Ellijay, GA and we watched as the early morning clouds hovered over the mountains…

Ever dreamed of eloping on the beaches of Mexico with mountains all around? This day was IT! I don’t think I ever could have pictured a more perfect day in Puerto Vallarta, MX. Tierney & Dane have lived here for almost 2 years, and they showed me around all their favorite places in the area, including the most unreal beach for sunset towards the end of this blog post. I found the field from the earlier photos just by walking around (isn’t that wild??), and I absolutely love all the mountains in these photos.

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.

Editorial Senior Portrait Session - White Wall Studio, Woodstock, GA

When Lia first reached out about potentially doing studio senior portraits, I said yes, but I also let her know that I didn’t have a ton of experience shooting in a studio (I had only done it a few times in school), and that we would definitely need to put together a Pinterest board with pose ideas and inspiration for our shoot. Little did I know that this would become one of my absolute FAVORITE shoots this year, and that I am now obsessed with studio shoots hahahah!!

This session was definitely something different for me - but I absolutely love how these pictures turned out. Joshua has been shooting for several years, so it only felt right to center his senior photos around this passion of his. Our original location actually burned to the ground the week of the shoot, plus Joshua’s gun stock that he ordered months in advance still had not shipped, so we scrambled to find another date & location, and thankfully stumbled across Cherokee Rose Gun Club which ended up being the perfect location for these photos.

Karina & Andy got married on Oct 16th, 2022 and a year later decided to get dressed up again to celebrate their 1 year anniversary with a dreamy canoe sunrise anniversary session! We met just before sunrise at this beautiful lake and heard the birds chirping, along side some drilling and construction noises going on right next to us (LOL - the things you don’t see in the pictures!). It ended up being such a magical morning and I’m so happy I got to capture these moments for them.
