Erika & Tommy | 7.13.19 It seems like forever that Josh and I were looking forward to Erika and Tommy’s wedding day, and it’s so hard to believe it has come and gone! They planned everything themselves, and while I don’t think they would choose to do it again (just ask Tommy), everything turned out […]

Casey & Stephen | 6.29.19 Casey and Stephen’s love story began nearly fifteen years ago in the fifth grade. After a short time dating (after all, the level of commitment between ten-year-olds is usually relatively short), they decided to be best friends instead and spent their childhood and teen years together. Their friendship blossomed into […]

Carissa & Nathan | 6.22.19 I’ve been looking forward to Carissa & Nathan’s wedding day for sooo long now!!! I first met Carissa when she was in high school, and I’ve gotten to know her family well over the past five years. Now she’s a kindergarten teacher and MARRIED to the guy she started dating […]

Shelly & Matt | 6.15.19 Shelly and I have been emailing since last year and I’ve been so excited for her wedding day! This girl has the sweetest soul (she’s very Disney princess-like) with a bit of quirkiness mixed in, and you can’t help smile when you’re around her. From the moment I arrived on […]

Megan & Corey | 6.1.19 Megan and Corey are still in their early twenties, but their relationship has already carried them through seven and a half years of life together. When Corey was a freshman in high school, a pretty little eight grader caught his eye… and this past weekend, they said yes to becoming […]

McKenna + Joe | 5.10.19 Dedicated. Strong. Quiet confidence. Loyal. These words describe both McKenna and Joe as individuals, but this past Friday, they became husband and wife under an archway adorned with soft spring flowers. Now these words will become the cornerstone of their marriage, rooted in their love for the Lord. Close to […]

Antanina & Steve | 3.8.19 If you had met either Steve or Antanina years ago, before their paths crossed, and asked them to describe their perfect partner and wedding day, I don’t think in their wildest dreams they would have been able to tell the love story that has now taken place. For them, love […]

When Kelsie and I sat down to create the mood board for the styled shoot at the second Refined Second Shooter Workshop, we knew we wanted to step it up! We absolutely LOVED our fun Kate Spade inspired styled shoot at the first workshop, but this time we were looking for elegance and a neutral […]

Kayla & Nicholas | 01.19.19 When Kayla and Nicholas decided to get married in January, they knew there was a decent chance for snowy weather. However, I don’t think anticipated that THE winter storm of the season would hit on their wedding day! What we thought was going to be several inches of snow actually […]

Megan & Jacob | 12.30.18 Jacob and Megan stood back to back in the tall marble room, surrounded by beautiful paintings and bathed in soft sunlight streaming in the large window behind them. It was quiet, save the echoing laughter of museum guests browsing a few rooms over. Their wedding day was here…. finally!!! They […]
