Proof that I shoot things other than weddings...

Engage!13 Paper Cut Wedding Dress //

From Katie (the designer): "I had the incredible fortune to be asked to create a paper wedding dress forEngage!13 at the Biltmore Estate. It was to be inspired by Cornelia Vanderbilt, who's wedding reception was hosted at the Estate in the 1920's. The dress was on display for the grand Great Gatsby-esque Gala on the last night of a several day conference. Emily was wonderful enough to tag along and document the process and final installation of the dress!"

MARRIED // MCCREA & TROY // DANIEL STOWE BOTANICAL GARDENS

There are not enough nice things in the world that I can say about these two people.I've known them for what feels like forever, and there's always something special about being asked to do a dear friend's wedding.

McCrea and I have always kind of come back to each other. We can not have talked for years, and then one of us will initiate conversation and it's just like we never stopped speaking. She's hilarious, beautiful, kind and has this amazingly random "thug" side to her that cracks me up. She just lights up around Troy and their chemistry is undeniable. And the same for Troy. He's absolutely adorable and such a good guy. He has a quiet sense of humor and listens intently. He loves McCrea so much and is so tender with her.

She trusted me completely on their wedding day, even when I (and Troy helped) pressured her into being late to the reception because the light for their bride & groom shots was so beautiful.

I hope that you two love the end product, you had such a beautiful day.

And I literally couldn't have done it without the sweet Erica Serrano accompanying me. She's such an awesome photographer and I'm so thankful to know her! Thanks for the killer individual shots & various ceremony/reception angles! You're an absolute angel.

MARRIED // TAMMY & BRIAN // CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

I met Tammy when I was working at Paper Source early this year. She's so enthusiastic about life, about Brian, about everything. She is the literally the happiest person I've ever met and it's so unbelievably genuine. Brian and her compliment each other so well. He's quiet but has a great sense of humor and he went to ASU (go Mountaineers!)

Their wedding was unlike any I've been a part of. They walked each-other down the aisle and really wanted their day to  revolve around them and their friends and celebrating the union they've created. That's why they didn't have wedding party and kept it below 100 people! It was a gorgeous, simple wedding at the Latta Plantation. And her lovely friend Amanda is a pastry chef and hand-made all of the delicious desserts.
