Back in the winter… Jill and I were just chatting in the living room when this idea started coming to life. We wanted to give away a FREE wedding so we started making it happen!! We contacted vendors from all over and we launched it!! The response was crazy and now we have one amazing couple that will be having the wedding of their dreams in a couple of weeks at Big Spring Farm!! Time has FLOWN by and I have to admit that even though I LOVE all of my KJ couples, I’ve been EXTRA excited about this wedding!! It’s going to be incredible!
We’ve decided that in order to give this amazing story the attention it deserves, it needed its’ very own online home!! Mike and Shaina are the ones responsible for making this happen and we cannot thank them enough!!
Introducingggg……. the BRAND NEW Wedding Collective Giveaway website!!! You’ll be able to see vendor profiles, blog posts from the crew, behind the scenes pictures and access to images, videos, and stories!!! Enjoy taking a little tour and have an amazing Monday!!!!!!
Ps. Get excited because this crazy idea is about to unfold right before us in less than 14 days!!

If you’re a photographer that despises Off-Camera-Flash (OCF), this blog post is for you! Ugh. I feel you. I used to hate it too… and it honestly still isn’t my favorite but it’s necessary in order to rise in your professionalism on wedding days after dark!! Off camera flash seems intimidating when you’re trying it for the first time.
This is such a fun post for me to share because it’s what I consider my “hobby”! Sure, it’s still photo-related so maybe it’s not a true hobby for me since my career is consumed in the photography world… but it is most definitely what I love to do for fun!


This is the biggest complaint we’re hearing about the R6!! Photographers who are moving from the CANON MARK III camera body and switching to the new Canon R6 camera body are lost when it comes to perfecting their edits to the style they are used to.

There has never been a year quite like 2020. It started off so normal, so simple and so carefree. Then, March/April hit and it felt like everything was turned upside down!
Another month. I had forgotten just how fast it goes when they are this tiny. One minute they are in 0-3 month clothes and the next you’re unpacking 6month options!


How is it MARCH already in 2021?! This year is flying by and we’re getting closer and closer to the beginning of wedding season! At least we are here in Virginia! It’s my honor to get to introduce you to some of our KJ Students who are doing the hard work of educating themselves and growing their businesses! My hope is that their stories and advice will be an encouragement to anyone wanting to grow and feel confident before wedding season picks up!
