Today I’m photographing a wedding at the @tulsag

Today I’m photographing a wedding at the @tulsagardencenter, which is such a gorgeous venue!! Greenhouses are my fav & this one is so so pretty. ✨⁠⁠And tomorrow, I've got a smaller, intimate wedding at @rulsacountryclub, and then definitely plan to take a rest day on Monday! 😴⁠⁠After a super busy past few weeks & finally some time to rest - I am feeling super excited to be at a wedding again today!! ⁠💖⁠⁠also big thank you to @sam.millerstudios for the awesome BTS photos of me doing my thang with @emily_odon & @gabe_odon😎 at @belladonnaevents⁠⁠ps thanks to @holdfastgear for THE BESTTTTT leather camera harness on the planet!!

This first look with Celine & Nick had me tearing up behind the camera, too 🥺⁠⁠First looks are definitely something you should consider implementing into your wedding day! If you're excited to see your partner before the ceremony & have a few moments of peace before the post-ceremony fun begins - then I highly recommend them!⁠⁠They help to ease any nerves that you may have - walking down the aisle to your partner or vice versa is definitely a big deal & for the more private couples out there - I totally understand the nerves that come from having to walk in front of a TON of guests, so first looks are perfect to knock some of those nerves out & be able to express your emotions a bit more privately 😊⁠⁠Annnnd, you'll have more time for photos before the ceremony so right afterwards - we can just dive right into the celebration! A win-win-win if you ask me 🤔⁠⁠These two were the sweetest. So happy to have taken part in your day, guys!!

Every day is the perfect day for an intimate weddi

Every day is the perfect day for an intimate wedding. @janssyn_gunn absolutely RADIANT on her perfect weekday intimate wedding at @spainranch. Her and her husband Miles and their families all drove up from Texas just to celebrate here in tulsa. @emeraldandolive blew me and everyone else away with these gorgeous florals.

This week has been full of lots of lessons both hard and really amazing. I’m so grateful for each of you, who encouraged and challenged me every day. But right now? I’m gonna go take a nap. 🫶Photo by @theivoryroses

It's my professional opinion that you should absolutelyyyy ⁠have a hanging flower wall on your wedding day. These were literally the most beautiful florals I've ever seen 🤯⁠⁠When it comes to prioritizing wedding vendors & deciding which ones are of most value to you over others - I have a few words of advice 😊⁠⁠You don't have to splurge on every single vendor (not unless you want to, of course!). By focusing on the things that are the most important to you & allocating funds to those - you are going to have a wedding that you are SO much more in love with.⁠⁠I'm (obviously) partial to prioritizing photography - but this can look like so many other things to your relationship & wedding day! If you're a huge foodie - splurge on hiring a private chef or getting your favorite restaurant to cater your day! If you value experience and adventure over everything else - maybe a larger wedding day isn't for you & an elopement at your favorite hiking spot is more your speed! And if you are a lover of flowers & are most happy when your plants are all happy, your wedding day might look a little like this 😍⁠⁠Choose authenticity over everything. Be intentional with who you choose & plan your day around that! This is why no two weddings are the same. Your day is going to be incredible, no matter what you choose! ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠Vendors -⁠@spainranch⁠@crookedrootsdesign⁠@theeventspaceeco@bryde⁠@justcateringbyorr⁠@staygoldeventrentals

This shoot was SO much fun with @eversomething! They are an amazing wedding planning & floral design business that created such a beautiful styled shoot a few weeks ago - such an awesome team of ladies!! ⁠⁠Finding vendors that bundle services together - just like wedding planning & floral design - is so helpful for your wedding day & just makes everything a million times easier on you 😎 ⁠⁠So fun! Check them out!! ⁠⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠Vendors - ⁠@eversomething @pineapplelizzie @addis_ceramics @thevaulttulsa @urbangreenstulsa_ @staygoldeventrentals⁠
