The Bates || Cole + Bailey

This wedding marked a pretty big first for me - it was my first out of state wedding I had the opportunity to photograph!! And let me tell ya, it was so FUN! If these photos (especially those reception ones) don’t convey that this wedding was F U N, I don’t know what will.

The details were so stunning! Fun fact: I ran to Hobby Lobby before the wedding to grab a bunch of flat lay stuff because I accidentally left mine at home…but it’s okay because I just made my flat lay arsenal that much better ;) Also - would you believe it if I told you that Bailey did all the florals herself? STUNNING!!!

The wedding venue itself was beautiful. I cannot believe the opportunity I had to photograph it! The white walls and arches against all the greenery was the perfect blank canvas for me to make some photo magic happen. Not to mention, I got to have some fun with some intentionally blurred photos (peep that B&W blurry shot especially…it’s my fave!!). I love when mu couples trust the vision I have for their images, because then I can make their photo dreams come to life, all while capturing them + the moments throughout the day as authentically as possible!

Feel free to check out some highlights of their day below!
