I equip purpose-driven entrepreneurs and photographers to turn their story into connection—and their gifts into lasting impact.

hey friends, i'm katelyn

Sam’s best friend stood beside her as she finished getting her hair done. She started asking some questions about Sam and her relationship with Steve. The laughter could have been heard down the hall. Sam recalled so many memories and characteristics about Steve that before she knew it, her laughter turned into tears. These were tears of joy. It was almost as if it was hitting her all at once just how amazing her wedding day was going to be and how incredible her future husband is! Sam shared that she had a list of things that her future husband had to be or had to do. After a couple of dates, Steve had totally dominated that list!!

He opened doors, he loved meeting her friends, he left work as soon as she called him in tears because she had just quit her job and he came with a quiche in hand…. because he knew she loves quiche. :) Sam explained (with a few pauses to catch her breathe and attempt to retain her tears) that she thought that she was going to be traveling the world. She just knew that she was going to live in London and not get married until she was 35 because that was THE DREAM…. and then she met Steve. All of a sudden her best days included him… and worst days were the days without him… and she started realizing that THE DREAM was actually life with Steven. She couldn’t go on with that story because the tears and mascara were flowing.

It was such a beautiful day with so many moments of joy and celebration. These two have such a genuine and passionate love for one another and it was SUCH a joy to photograph their day!! I can’t wait to show you this gorgeous rooftop wedding in downtown Charlotte!

Steve and Sam, what a dream couple you are! Your love is inspiring and your wedding day was absolutely perfect!! I hope you LOVE your European honeymoon!
