I’ve had the privilege of seeing my work featured in various places the past couple of weeks but I haven’t been able to get around to blogging them until now!
First up, I received word that Dorie and John’s Memphis wedding at the Inn at Hunt-Phelan was featured yet again, and MANY times over! Dorie is a reporter for the Associated Press and she wrote an article all about her DIY wedding. They used some of my photos for the article, which was distributed around the country and picked up by a countless number of media outlets, including ABC News! the other day I got a surprise package in the mail from Dorie and it was a print version of the story that she found in the Athens Banner-Herald in Athens, Georgia. Neat!
And then yesterday I received word that The Knot featured Dorie and John’s wedding in their Real Weddings section.
Up next, we have Annie and Gero’s Santa Monica wedding at The Victorian featured on Love and Lavender, a truly lovely blog. It’s my first feature there!
The Knotty Bride was also kind enough to feature a few images from the same wedding!
And last, but certainly not least, Mekala over at Tie That Binds (I’ve told you about her before) just started a blog and I was lucky enough to be her first featured vendor! She featured Nattida and Chad’s super fun vintage airplane engagement shoot. Check it out below and check out her wonderful custom paper products!
Hooray!

It is always an incredible honor when my work gets picked up on other sites. Especially when those sites are some of my favorite reads. This is the second time my work has been featured on Green Wedding Shoes and I couldn’t be more pleased! Jen decided to feature Jackqueline and Jeremy’s Griffith Observatory engagement session with the adorable handmade pinwheels. Mucho thanks to Jen!

I was so pleased to receive an email today from Abby at Style Me Pretty, letting me know she was featuring Dorie and John’s Memphis wedding on her amazing blog today! SMP is one of my favorite wedding blogs on the planet and I check it daily for inspiration. If you’re planning a wedding, or just like to look at pretty things, make sure you check it out!
I was even more pleased to find that not only did Abby feature the wedding, but she featured their Memphis rehearsal dinner, as well!
Here’s a screen shot from the rehearsal dinner post. Click the image to see the full post!

And here’s part two of the wedding post!
I am so honored to see my work on Style Me Pretty, along with all of the other beautiful images that have been featured there. Such a treat! Dorie and John planned an amazing wedding, and I’m so glad the photos are able to serve as inspiration for future brides who are looking to plan unique weddings for themselves!

I’ve never really thought of myself as an entrepreneur. In my mind entrepreneurs are men and women in business suits who do grand things with their time and money. They are Very Important People with ultra bright smiles and perfectly-coiffed hair.
Me? I spend my time taking pretty photos and hanging out with awesome people on their wedding day, then I sit in my office and edit those photographs by the light of the robot lamp on my desk and to the sounds of my iTunes playlist. Also, I’m often in my pajamas.
So, it’s a little surprising to me that a website for women entrepreneurs called Start Up Princess wanted to know about my business. I don’t wear business suits! My hair is usually a total mess! But, they didn’t care. And so it seems my idea of what an entrepreneur was is totally wrong (no surprise there) and I am in fact one!
All kidding aside, I have worked very hard to start this modest photography business of mine and to be recognized for it is very, very nice. I’ve received a lot of help and encouragement from my peers, friends and family and I’m hoping that someone who is thinking about starting their own business will read my interview and walk away with something that will encourage them to go for it!
You can read my interview here, and if you’re a woman entrepreneur I encourage you to poke around the rest of the site. There are some great articles and interviews to read and learn from!

It really makes my day when a wedding blogger loves a wedding I’ve photographed so much that they blog about it. Today, Amanda and Oliver’s wedding was featured on Vintage Glam Weddings! Here’s a screen cap of the post, but be sure to visit Vintage Glam because it is one awesome wedding blog.
