Happy New Year my friends! 2025 was another action packed year and we would just like to start off by saying, we are eternally grateful for all of our amazing couples and their families for trusting us with your big day, and more importantly, preserving your memories for future generations! This marked our 5th year of splitting time between North Carolina and Wyoming and it’s grown into more than we ever envisioned it to be. Initially we always thought it would be cool to spend time somewhere else during July and August since those were always our slowest months in NC. Fast forward to this year and we’ve been splitting our time close to 50/50! With this time change, we’ve seen our schedules evolve filling more portrait sessions and elopements. It’s been a welcome break for our bodies but also rejuvenating for heading into heavy wedding months like September and October. Of course one of this would be possible without our amazing teammates Jesse and Megan! Big thanks to them for continuing to rock it and helping us to serve even more amazing couples!


It was also a year of visiting new places for weddings! We visited NY for the first time (at least for Joe).


We hope you enjoy getting to check out some of our favorites as we share one photo from every wedding & elopement below! ***(NOTE: For privacy reasons one of the weddings/elopements was not shared)
