Anna-Claire & Payton.🤍

Some people simply radiate joy, and these two are those people. Kind, gracious, endlessly fun, quick to laugh, and always seeing the best in everyone around them. There is a quiet confidence and class about them that feels completely effortless and together, they just make sense. What an honor to document their full wedding weekend at Castle Hill in Oxford.

Our 2022 Ole Miss Most Beautiful queen found her “GQ man”—as Payton’s college friends affectionately called him—and these two have style.

Anna-Claire’s Anne Barge gown from Maggie Louise Bridal was an absolute fashion moment. The architectural lines, elongated drop waist and structured silhouette felt modern and editorial, yet completely timeless. Paired with her lace veil, pearls and cascading white tulips—effortlessly chic.

Working alongside Kelsey Morgan Event Styling, Anna-Claire leaned into an intimate jazz-club feeling for the reception: pleated draping, crystal chandeliers, glowing lamps, candlelight and rich chocolate tones created the most sophisticated, warm atmosphere.

And the florals by Elizabeth! Nothing stiff or overly traditional—sculptural branches, delicate stems, airy white blooms and that incredible cascading tulip bouquet made everything feel organic, artful and beautifully undone.

Anna-Claire later realized she and Paige Lorenze had gravitated toward many of the same wedding details, and we love that shared sensibility: classic foundations mixed with fashion, restraint and unexpected choices. Nothing chosen simply because it was “bridal.” Everything felt personal.

What a wedding. What a couple. What a gift to document it all. 🤍

Three ladies. Three dear friends. Three business built from the ground up. One dream shared between us.

Funny enough, around this time three years ago we had a goal of working more weddings together, but not only that, we dreamt up an Italian inspired editorial here in Tennessee. We had a big dream that maybe one day, together, we would get the opportunity to do a wedding in Italy.

Today, we’re on a flight to Italy seeing that dream unfold. We’re still in awe and processing the reality of our dream coming to fruition!

Keep dreaming friends. No matter how big the dream. He placed it on your heart for a reason, for a purpose. God has a really cool way of making them happen — all in His perfect timing.🤍

Being his Mama is my sweetest blessing and my most important work. Every season of motherhood humbles me and reminds me just how faithful God is. I look at my son and can’t help but thank the Lord for allowing me the honor of raising him, loving him, and pointing him back to Jesus.

I fall short daily. I make mistakes, lose patience, and constantly need God’s grace myself, yet my son still runs into my arms with love and trust. What a beautiful reminder of the way our Heavenly Father loves us. Not because we are perfect, but because we are His.

Children have a way of teaching us the Gospel in the simplest form: grace, forgiveness, wonder, and unconditional love. His love reminds me daily that our Heavenly Father does not ask us to earn His love through perfection. He simply asks us to come to Him with childlike faith.🩵
