Ya’ll, we just captured another “double-header” weekend - a wedding on Saturday and Sunday. And they were both absolutely perfect. On Saturday we celebrated with Ally and Chad at the Barn at Broadslab Distillery. It’s quite the hidden gem of Johnston County’s wedding scene. Beautiful blue skies, a lively and funny wedding party, a detail-oriented (in the absolute best of ways) bride, a quick witted groom that kept us smiling, and beautiful decor all made our job so easy.

Ya’ll, historically May is my favorite month for weddings. Spring is in full force. The weather is usually absolutely perfect. This past Saturday was no exception. Every single detail was simply perfect for Kaley and Camden’s celebration at Yankee Hall. Kaley and Camden are high school sweethearts and it’s so easy to see the love they have for each other. Their vows to each other after their first look was hands down my favorite part of their day.

We are in the midst of the busiest part of our spring wedding season. And it feels good. There are moments where it feels like a bit too much to keep up with, but for the most part, I 100% enjoy the hustle and bustle of this time of year. What I love most during this chaos is when life forces you to slow down and soak in just how sweet it is. That’s what wedding days do for me and Will. Believe it or not, wedding days are some of the slowest days of our week.

Will and I had a very productive day resting up after shooting three different weddings over the weekend. Tonight, I’m excited to share with you all the first round of previews. On Thursday we celebrated with Jordan and Aaron at Tripp Farms, a lovely local venue. There’s no doubt about it… Jordan and Aaron are madly in love and it shows in the way they smiled at each other throughout the day.

Let’s talk about Saturday, friends. It’s a wedding day that I simply cannot believe has come and gone. I knew it was going to be a highlight of our 2023, but guys… Even with the storms that rolled through, Gauri and Stephen’s wedding day exceeded our expectations. Which is saying a lot because the bar was set high.

Friends, let’s talk about Keagan and Dakota’s wedding for just a second. Perfection. There’s no other way to describe it. Just absolute perfection. From the beautiful weather (hello sunshine!), to the beautiful backdrop that RCC gives for the ceremony and reception, to the lively, full of life bridesmaids and groomsmen… It was just such an amazing day! I can’t believe that it has come and gone already. Keagan and Dakota are sailing away on a cruise, basking in the excitement of being newlyweds.

Our sweet Keagan is now Mrs. Dakota Roberson, and we are so excited to share her bridal session! Keagan is a breath of fresh air in this chaotic, busy world. She’s kind. She’s thoughtful. She’s funny. She’s gorgeous. She keeps you on your toes. Most importantly, she makes me and Will feel young! To put it simply, to know Keagan is to love her. We enjoyed her bridal session last fall around Washington, and we know you’ll love scrolling through our favorite shots too!

Mrs. Mauldin is off enjoying her honeymoon in tropical paradise, so tonight I’m giving the rest of you something beautiful to look at - her bridal portraits. Kayla (and Annie) were amazing to work with during her rainy day bridal session. It was our first time at her gorgeous wedding venue, A Touch of Country. Honestly the rain was the perfect opportunity to use more of their indoor space than we would have otherwise. Enjoy!
