Nestled deep in our Blue Ridge Mountains, Mary Jordan and Wilkes’ wedding was filled with a beauty and a community that felt like home.

Welcoming their guests with a soft palette of sage and cream, cascading florals and bespoke touches — this reception was a chic garden lounge—airy, intimate, and full of life.

Thank you to this family and an incredible vendor team who brought this weekend to fruition, and cheers to this beautiful new couple. 🥂🌿 It’s one I won’t forget for a long time.

Four years. Honored to be named one of The Wed’s Top 40 Wedding Photographers in the US for the fourth consecutive year.

Awards are never the goal. The privilege of being trusted by so many incredible couples and families with the most meaningful days of their lives is the real reward. Recognition like this simply reminds me what an extraordinary gift that trust truly is.

Thank you to every couple who has welcomed me into their story. And thank you to The Wed for the honor. 🤍🥹

Tucked inside at the @dunlinauberge, away from the storms and surrounded by your favorite people. What a beautiful way, on a cozy fall day to begin a marriage. 🍂

@afoxevent and this brilliant team created a celebration that felt as warm as it was beautiful. Congrats Anna and Alec. Adore you both. It was truly an evening that made you want to settle in and stay awhile. 🤍

A private Alabama residence transformed for a beautiful celebration, with lush greens, shades of blue, and sculptural floral moments throughout. From the vine-covered ceremony arches to the geometric dance floor, the design felt thoughtful from every angle.

From the soft, coastal palette to the layers of delicate florals, natural textures, and airy design, every element was thoughtfully considered to complement the beauty of the setting. The entire weekend carried an effortless lightness — refined yet relaxed, with each detail adding to the feeling of being surrounded by the sea, the people they love, and a celebration that felt entirely their own.
