The Barn At Chestnut Springs || Summer Smoky Mountain Wedding || Jesse and Lauren

  The Barn At Chestnut Springs The Barn At Chestnut Springs describes their venue beautiful. “Situated just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, The Barn at Chestnut Springs is an ideal countryside location to celebrate your wedding day.  This gray weathered wood barn has been beautifully renovated to serve as a premier wedding venue.  The large main room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and is appointed with elegant chandeliers and wall sconces.  A wooded cove awaits guests just outside the back doors, providing lovely views year-round and great outdoor space.” I would also like to add that Melanie and the staff are pretty awesome as well! The combination of the Smoky Mountains, a pretty venue, awesome people and you

Glacier National Park Engagement Session || Eric and Paige || West Glacier, Montana

Glacier National Park Engagement Session  This Glacier National Park engagement session not on my list of things to do while traveling. A few weeks ago I planned a last-minute trip to Glacier National Park (personal post link). One thing you may not know is that I am known for being the queen of last-minute trip planning! I haven’t traveled much this year and I was getting to the point where I couldn’t stay at home anymore. One night I was sitting at home editing a wedding and I got the urge to travel. A friend had gone to Glacier and her photos intrigued me. Glacier National Park had been on the bucket list to travel to, but I hadn’t planned a

Summer Wedding At The White Barn At Cruze Farm || Marcus and Ivy || Wedding Number Two

Summer Wedding At The White Barn At Cruze Farm  You have no clue how excited I am to finally get to shoot this summer wedding at the White Barn At Cruze Farm! You may not understand why this wedding was so exciting, but it was Marcus and Ivy’s second wedding this year. You see, Marcus and Ivy planned to get married in the spring, but due to COVID, it got postponed. The awesome thing is this couple still had their wedding in the spring. Their full wedding turned into an elopement. They postponed the wedding until the end of summer and I happened! Having a summer wedding at The White Barn At Cruze Farm was a little different. The spring weather

Heaven On Earth | Glacier National Park | Destination Photographer

Heaven On Earth | Glacier National Park | Destination Photographer Heaven, I’ve heard about it all my life. This beautiful-looking place that as a Christ-follower I will go one day. I’ve tried to wrap my mind around what it will look like, but I’ve had a hard time doing so. In Heaven, I’d like to think that each day the weather will be like the best fall day I’ve ever experienced. I’d like to think the animals will peacefully graze together and a bundle of puppies will be at every turn. I could imagine wildflowers being as far as the eye could see and the sweetest aroma sweeping across my face with each breath.  A place where mountains, valleys, and
