MEET Holly & Grant

See all those beautiful published weddings in magazines and on Instagram? Most of those flat lays are created with a few important things!

First off, you want to have all your details ready for your wedding photographer on the morning of the wedding. Your details include:

  • Invitation suite
  • All 3 rings
  • Jewelry you’re wearing
  • Shoes (his and hers)
  • Perfume bottle
  • His watch
  • Boutonniere
  • Ring box
  • Veil
  • Pieces of sentimental value
  • Extra florals (ask your florist for these!)

Sometimes I’ll even suggest little things like a tray, wax seals, stamps, antique scissors, extra lace and ribbons from your wedding dress or bouquet, and anything extra that is special to you and your day. Sometimes I’ll even have people include champagne bottles! Flat lays are a fun way to encompass everything about your wedding day on a small scale.

We planned this trip three times – once in 2020, then again for 2023, and then again for 2024 – the third time was the charm, and we finally […]

Aubrey is one of my many Boiling Springs Seniors. We had a gorgeous evening walking around The Children’s Lake in Boiling Springs a few weeks ago. It was a treat to meet Aubrey and hear about her plans for the future. She is the sweetest soul, and we had a great deal of fun discussing […]

It’s not very often I get to photograph senior boys, so join me for Colton’s Senior Session. We met at Colton’s house before heading out into his backyard to take some photos. We focused on natural, fun shots because, like most typical guys, Colton wasn’t a huge fan of having his photo taken. But we […]
