Ariana + Branton |

Southern grandeur was in every detail of this day. Swans graced the lake, florals draped the columns, and the most beautiful late summer evening unfolded at the bride’s family home. Surrounded by loved ones, Ariana and Brant celebrated in a setting that was every bit as beautiful as it was meaningful.

To be entrusted with documenting a celebration of this magnitude was an incredible honor. There are certain days that leave a lasting impression, and this will forever be one of them.

I'm grateful to have been a small part of something so special, alongside friends who have become like family over the years. What a beautiful celebration of a family so dear to my heart, and such a special beginning for Ariana and Brant. All my love, xx

Dinner in White 🤍✨

Good food, pretty tables, white chocolate strawberries, sparklers… and a double date with some of our favorite people. 🥰

But I think my favorite part was simply slowing down long enough to enjoy each other. No practices. No running kids around. No work. No “what’s next?” Just grown folks dressed in white, eating good and laughing together. 😂🤍

And y’all… our little table turned out SO pretty! All that planning was worth it. 😍

10/10 date night. Would absolutely do it again. 🤍✨

For every moment we saw, there’s ones we didn’t. 🎨

Ek!! It was a tremendous weekend. And the cherry on top: I was well enough to see my company before she left, LOL! 🙌🏻 I’m so thankful my sweet friend, @cortney_manning, same to visit!! P.S. next time I’m taking extra vitamins the week prior to your arrival. 🫠

Last and certainly not least, to the spectacular ladies who worked endless hours behind the scenes to make this happen and come back year.after.year. THANK YOU! 🎨✨

Every heart has a story to tell. From 2021 until 2026, this annual trip of mine has become more & more special — rarely the exact group has gone and yet every. single. time. we experience “God Winks”.

This year was no different. God knows. 😘

Each of these women are REMARKABLE, including myself — and like many of you, we’ve each weathered storms we NEVER thought we would/could get through.

Yet here we are, on the “other side” — #together

We made it. Oh, we made it.

And today I was reminded of this:

We are called to steward our stories and who others choose/chose to be in our story is not our responsibility— share it anyway. (sometimes even beach side 😜)

Speaking about.
The good.
The bad. The utterly atrocious moments.
The lessons. Sometimes repeated lessons (for those of us who tend to be stubborn)
AND HOW THE LORD SAW YOU THROUGH! 🥹🙌🏻

Because every heart has a story to tell and you never know who needs to hears YOURS! Xoxo

Not so ordinary moments. Book the trip. Build a community. Share your story. And bless The Lord, LEARN HOW TO PLAY #MAHJONG #rosemaryyear6 #twobathrooms #mygod 🥹☀️🌊

This makes for a great day! When this is the next best thing to being in their presence - it will work in a pinch. My heart is full. I love my sisters! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

From The Stockyards, BEN. RECTOR. The Silos. Tex-Mex. LAUGHTER. And of course, coffee — It’s always a pleasure making memories with these dear friends of mine.
