Last weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Emily & Austin's GORGEOUS wedding day. When I first sat down with Emily last summer to talk about the vision she had for her day, she said that the theme was vintage, clean, & classic. With a LOT of flowers. Emily put so much time into the details involved throughout her day and all of her hard work definitely paid off.

After we were finished with the detail photos, Amanda and I split up to capture both sides of the bridal party getting ready. Emily and Austin chose the Nathanael Greene Lodge as their venue and it was actually the first time I had ever worked there. It was SO nice to have spaces for both the bride and groom to get ready and the outdoor ceremony space was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It was so much fun to hang out downstairs and spend the morning with Emily and her girls. They had a blast helping one another with hair and makeup and their matching PJs were perfect for group photos on the vintage couch Emily and Austin rented for the day. I always love the photos that are taken while getting ready because they're so much more relaxed and casual compared to the photos of the rest of the day. It's nice to capture a few candid moments the bride and groom have with those closest to them while they prepare to marry the love of their life.

Oh yes, let me also mention that the white robe that Emily is wearing is actually a gift from her mom. The gorgeous robe was made from
