This wedding venue may look familiar to some of you who have been following us for a while! I photographed Meghan’s brother’s wedding a few years ago at this very same farm and venue!
The only difference is that I asked Brandon and Meghan to stand in rows of CORN instead of climbing into a soybean field! This day was beautiful. The weather was incredible! It felt better to be outside than inside! It was almost as if we had sneak peek into fall just for one day with 70 degree temps, zero humidity and a slight breeze! It was the perfect day for Brandon and Meghan to start their new life together!
I’ve known Meghan her entire life. We grew up in the same small town and went to the same country church where my Dad has been the pastor for over 30 years. It felt like this wedding day was a giant reunion…. only with a lot more tiny kiddos running around! My Dad officiated the ceremony, we photographed the day, friends provided food, the venue is owned by a family friend and all of our families were in attendance…. including all of our kids! Micah, Evy, Harper and Graham haven’t been at a wedding that we have photographed in some time and I have to say, I had to work hard not to be too distracted. They looked so precious in their wedding attire!!!
Speaking of wedding attire, Meghan looked beautiful. She’s always been gorgeous but she was glowing on her wedding day and I loved photographing the two of them! Not only are they photogenic, but I shot their entire wedding day with a brand new camera body and I quickly fell in love with it! From their willow tree portraits to the corn field, it didn’t disappoint and I can’t wait to show you my favorites!
Meghan and Brandon, we’re so happy for you guys. Brandon, I know we haven’t known you since you were a baby but we do know the Beasley’s and you’re one lucky guy. You have married into one special family. We’re so happy for you both and it was an honor to be your photographers!!!!

I just feel like I need to say…. prepare yourself. Prepare yourself for some of the most gorgeously styled details I’ve ever photographed. Prepare yourself for fun portraits and the sweetest ceremony and lastly, prepare yourself for some serious JOY!!
I bought the RF 100mm Macro because I wanted to compare it with my EF 100mm Macro! I’ve had the EF for YEARS but since I upgraded to the R6 last year, I’ve slowly been replacing my lenses with the RF models.
This Dover Hall Estate wedding was one for the books! Wow! Just incredible! From the planning to the florals to the dress and creative use of the property. It was just gorgeous!! We met Ryan and Danielle at their engagement session a few months back and we fell in love with them. They are truly as kind and thoughtful and sweet as they appear.
Oh you are something!!!! We are starting to lose you around the house! You crawl under tables, behind couches and soon, I just know you’re going to discover the stairs! You will walk laps around the ottomans and you LOVE to pull up on everything. I’ve caught you multiple times trying to splash in the toilet and it’s just hilarious… your brother or sister NEVER attempted that!
This day was one for the record books. It was the first time we had photographed anything at the beautiful Ivy Rose Barn and let me tell you, it’s a dream! It was also the first time that I was able to meet Sharon and Turner in person!! This is SO rare for me!! Normally we’ve already met our KJ Couples beforehand but thanks to the pandemic, we never had a chance to!
We’re in a quite a new season. Rhett’s seventh month has been the month where he decided to start moving! No cord, cup, small choking sized object is safe anymore! This happened literally the week he turned seven months and he has been on the go ever since.
