Megan and Jay were married on the most magical December day, just ten days before Christmas. Their Muskegon, Michigan wedding (just outside of Grand Rapids) was full of the most perfect cranberry and gold details, lending the most dreamy, wintery touches to their already stunning day. Evergreen branches, chalkboard signs, and wood slice ornaments unified the decor and created a welcoming and homey atmosphere as their nearest and dearest gathered together to celebrate them as they said “I do.”

Alyssa summed it up perfectly at the end of the evening as we walked back to the venue: “I’m going to cry because it’s over and because this was the happiest day of my life.” It truly was a joyful, beautiful, and happy-tear-filled day as friends and family gathered to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. DiCrasto.

Oh my lanta, where do I even begin with these two? They’ve been there through it all. They were the very first couple I ever photographed, and they were sooooo very very patient with me in my beginning moments, allowing me to practice on them as I grew. Over the past few years, my photography skills and business have grown and flourished, and so has their love for each other. 

Want to have your mind culinarily exploded by a biscuit?? Then you absolutely HAVE to check out Alabama Biscuit Co. I’m not kidding, don’t walk, RUN. (Seriously, even if you live on the other side of the world, these biscuits are worth the trip. Pinky promise.) Their biscuits are incredible. 

Since Jen and I connected online, I had never met Jen or Kohl before this shoot but the instant we met them, I felt like we were friends. These two got married only two and a half months ago, and their love for each other is SO very evident. They are passionate about Jesus and about each other – the whole time they were either talking about each other or their walks with the Lord. It was so sweet to witness!

The next stop on this summer’s jam-packed travel itinerary is my home, Dallas, but we absolutely had to stop and explore a few new places along the way. As we passed through Georgia, my best-friend-turned-second-shooter, Ari, and I made a pit stop at Condesa Coffee in downtown Atlanta.

It’s been a hot moment since I have had a chance to blog and catch you up on the craziness around here, but this summer is one full of a whirlwind of traveling – whether vacationing with my family, shooting multiple weddings around the country, or doing missions overseas in Greece. Today, the first part of this summer’s adventures took me and my dear friend Ari through Knoxville, Tennessee.

I had never visited Knoxville before today, however, we wanted to make the most of our quick trip through. We decided to do brunch (our favorite meal of the day, can I get an amen?) and searched for local places serving unique dishes we may not be able to get elsewhere. After looking around, we decided to visit the French Market Crêperie

What a wonderful day this was. Our trip took us to Magnolia Market at the Silos in Waco, Texas – the home of HGTV’s Fixer Upper stars, the demo day and shiplap loving couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines. While there, we shopped the silos, walked the grounds, sampled the food trucks, and indulged in some of the most amazing cupcakes we’ve ever had. The silos boast a wide-open green space full of picnic tables, chairs, and swings: the perfect place for summertime fun in the sunshine.
