Alicia & Bryan • Magnolia House, Hot Springs, NC
As photographers, we spend our careers refining a visual language, hoping that those who speak it will find us. When that connection happens, it allows us to document a day in an organic way where everything is honored so naturally.
I love being involved in the vision leading up to a wedding. I want to understand the “why” behind every element and intention. Alicia shared her inspiration board with me, and to my surprise, much of it wasn’t wedding-related at all. Instead, she had carefully chosen images from my personal work ( ) And with it shared something along the lines of “We want you to be your creative self.” While my personal work has come up in conversation with numerous clients, knowing that we can connect creatively beyond the wedding concepts is so energizing to me.
I will never forget that feeling. I was flooded with gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that my personal art could inform how I serve my couples and I carry that with me in every wedding.
Alicia and Bryan’s garden Victorian celebration was a dream to witness. They prioritized intimate moments and the beautifully curated details Alicia spent months collecting and crafting. To see it all come together, honoring their commitment with the same care they used to conjure this day, was incredible.
Thank you, Alicia and Bryan, for the invitation into your whimsical world. 🌹
