le MENU

After photographing Hickory weddings for the past 7 years, I've really come to value the unrehearsed, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day.

The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts.

This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about showcasing the beauty of your covenant promise to one another and celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day, and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!
