Tucked away in an English-inspired fairytale chapel in a quiet corner of northwest Arkansas, Sydney and Hendrik said I do surrounded by their favorite people.

A little woodland magic, a beautiful old chapel, and the kind of love that makes everything around it feel a little more enchanting. ✨

Some wedding days feel like they were pulled straight from a storybook. This was one of them. Congrats to the Compagners 🤍

A quiet corner of the country. Their own backyard. The people they love most, gathered close. Children running and laughing at every turn. A tented dinner beneath a sun-drenched August sky. Conner's grandfather's vintage truck, still part of the family story.

Ashton and Conner weren’t interested in doing more; they instead wanted to make room for what mattered most. Proof that not every wedding has lost the plot 💛

Small guest list + big feelings = A day that feels like home

Adam and Morgan said I Do at La Villa Kansas City on Saturday, and somehow their wedding day was every bit as joyful, effortless, and fun as I knew it would be.

My favorite thing about their day? It never felt like a production.

They stayed in one place, had intentional breathing room throughout the day, joined their guests for cocktail hour, and even ended up in an entirely unplanned receiving line — giving them the chance to actually see, hug, and celebrate with the people they invited to be there.

A little old-world romance, a lot of laughter, and plenty to cheers to 🥂

One last wedding in June. One unforgettable week in Mexico 🌴🤍

I couldn't have imagined a better way to close out the month than celebrating Dakota + Megan at UNICO 20º87º Hotel Riviera Maya. Their destination wedding was everything a wedding weekend should be—relaxed, joyful, intentional, and centered around the people who matter most.

Between the ocean breeze, slow mornings, heartfelt embraces, and the incredible family and friends who traveled to celebrate them, this week was a beautiful reminder that the best weddings are never just about where they happen—they're about who you're sharing them with.

I came home with sandy shoes, full memory cards, and a very grateful heart. It's a privilege to witness stories like these, whether they're close to home or thousands of miles away.

Bet you’d never guess we sheltered from a 🌪️ lookin at these wedding photos 😱

The art of Midwest storytelling… an overcast and dreary morning, a full HOT sun afternoon, and an ominous thunderous rainy evening. And the McMahills weathered it all with grace, joy, and so much love 😍

Congrats Jake and Easton, yall made this one a wedding I’ll never forget!!

Evan and Katie officially teed up forever ⛳️🤍

From dodging the rain to golf cart rides with a "Just Married" sign, putting green portraits, and a custom flag made just for them, every detail of this day felt joyful and true to who they are.

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. Lee ✨

No raining on this parade ☂️

The forecast said rain, but the skies held out for a soft and romantic outdoor ceremony, some iconic moments at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, a packed dance floor, and a sparkler exit under the string lights to close out the night!

From the moment these two saw each other during their first look to the final song, the day felt effortless and joyful in all the best ways.

Mr. + Mrs Lloyd 🤍

‘we are in tears… it’s magic.’ 🥹 safe to say The Wallace honeymoon started off strong by reliving their favorite day with their sneak preview album

Some classic Kansas City portraits, an emotional first look, the dreamiest direct sun veil moments, and a couple completely soaking in every second together. Meaghan + Patrick — thank you for trusting me to document such a meaningful day 🤍
