Seemingly not long ago, though it’s been years now, Meredith, Maura and I stood on the sidelines of a soccer game we were all working, and Meredith commented that whenever she got married, she’d like to have me as her photographer. On a beautiful day in April, right back in the North Carolina mountains where it all began, we got to make that wish a reality!

Meredith, Jordan, and their family and friends made my team’s work feel effortless; everyone was relaxed, all smiles, and definitely ready to celebrate. And, while we’d spent their rehearsal the day before hiding under awnings and umbrellas, their wedding day dawned bright and sunny, becoming even more stunning as the sun set behind the ridge.

Thank you so much to everyone whose hard work and great energy made this a wonderful celebration of love!
