AARON + ANNA

Connor & Co. and I were itching to play around with lots of florals since all of the greens from spring rains were starting to pop through this dreadfully dead season we've been in lately. We popped into Fresh Market and got lots of pretty colors to use and spent the day making the arrangements and bouquet. 

Aaron and Anna were available to come hang out with us and fight off all the summer bugs for a few hours and boy were we glad! Their chemistry was unbelievable. Not needing any direction from us, they became one together in their movements right before my very eyes. I WAS IN LOVE.

Having been recently married, their love poured outwards even more than I had originally planned to shoot. But I wasn't going to stop them. Sometimes when you just feel it, you go with it. No matter what. And 9 times out of 10, it turns out way better than you anticipated. 

Wall Doxey State Park was our "backyard" for this bright and intimate Spring Inspired Elopement. One of my favorite places to shoot. 

I had an absolute blast getting to know Aaron and Anna this evening. They made me feel like a cool kid. 

One thing I wanted to capture with this styled shoot was the emotion and chemistry between a couple and their interactions to bring out the heart gripping feelings when you're in the presence of someone you love deeply. Anna and Aaron made that extremely easy for me. I love the happy and joyous moments but I also love the soft and serene moments between two people. Every marriage has both along with many other moments. It isn't easy, but its worth it when those hard times pass. There is nothing greater than going through life and all of its curveballs with someone who knows you inside and out better than you know yourself.

A Cloudy Romantic Engagement | Downtown Memphis - Spring Creek Ranch | Memphis Tennessee | The Hatches Wedding and Elopement Photographers

JESSICA & JORDAN |  ENGAGED

Meet Jessica and Jordan. One couple who was beyond my expectations for clients. I can say that by the end of this post you'll have fallen in love with them, too. 

Jessica is full of life and has the most contagious laugh. Jordan thinks the world of Jessica. Their love seeped into the images we created that day.  It was almost impossible for them to take a bad picture! We started at an automotive shop not far from their wedding venue, Loflin Yard. It was rather cold, after all it was January, so getting inside the building made for some fun and cozy shots. We were even welcomed by a train! Haha. I don't know who had more fun, the conductor or Jessica! :P

We made our way towards Spring Creek Ranch for their second location and when we arrived, it blew my mind! The staff was more than accommodating and went way out of their way to make sure we had a great time enduring the cold and windy weather. 

After stocking up on hot coffee and heated golf carts we proceeded to ride around the golf course and pick different spots to play around in! We had a ball. From wrong turns to jumping in and out long enough to warm our hands and feet. 

Their wedding is Wednesday, May 3 at Loflin Yard and we cannot WAIT to watch these two become one at this eclectic venue and work alongside some AMAZING vendors such as Pickler Events, Deedra Stone, White Door Events and Klassey Productions!

We will see you guys soon!! <3

A Southern Wedding In The Sunflowers | Laurel Rose Manor | Como, Mississippi | The Hatches - Wedding Photographers

A Southern, Summer Wedding In A Sunflower Field at Laurel Rose Manor

Matt & Sarah Wigington

SEPTEMBER 03, 2016

Sarah is the younger sister of my beloved best friend, Meagen and she is the polar opposite. I love it haha. Sarah is reserved and just goes with the flow. Which is exactly how her BEAUTIFUL wedding day went at Laurel Rose Manor; the home of her parents, Dr Mike and Mrs Lisa Cockrell.

When I tell you guys how I love this house, I don't quite think you just really understand why I love this house. I first saw this beautiful landscape in 2014 when Meagen got married here and I was blown away by the variety that this stunning piece of architecture offered. SO naturally, later when Sarah was to be wed here, I already knew the property enough to visually plan ahead on how we were going to shoot. 

If you make it all the way to the bottom (because there are a LOT of images shared here LOL), the beautiful decor and placements were constructed by my AWESOME friend, and former bride of mine from April, Kelsey Connor with her company Connor & Co.
You need to check her out if you are planning ANY event... She is a GODSEND!! #blessyoukelsey

These are some of my favorites from their whole day. Sarah made for one stunning bride and Matt was dapper in his timeless suit. Take the time to let these two know how loved they are!!

CONGRATS MR & MRS WIGINGTON!

June was an incredibly busy month for weddings and it was the hottest. No one let the heat interrupt their moods though, this wedding was one for the books!
My husband must be popular in the DeSoto area because most of my brides from this year and next have gone to school with him, or his brother, or at least know someone who knows him (so it seems like haha). 

Kelsey was the most relaxed bride and she could care less if anything went wrong that day. She knew by nightfall that she would be Mrs Andrew Cupples, regardless. The BEST attitude to have. I know brides stress over things being absolutely perfect but it's not worth letting it get to you on your wedding day. Enjoy the little moments because the day will pass you by before you finish blinking. 

As you'll be able to tell when you scroll down a ways, during reception Kelsey and Andrew had one kick ass DJ : R&R Productions. And people let me tell you, he made the entire room dance. You just couldn't sit still while he was mixing. 

Jacob and I were beyond thrilled to have gotten to spend the day with The Cupples and their closest friends and family and even more humbled that they asked us to document their day. We wish you guys nothing but the best in life and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for your precious family!

A Modern Urban Engagement in Downtown Memphis | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographer

RACHEL & RYAN | MODERN URBAN ENGAGEMENT

Β 

"Ryan and I met through his brother, who is one of my closest friends. The first day we became "us" was at a Mississippi State football game. We knew of each other through Connor (his brother), but had never had the opportunity to really get to know one another until that weekend. We spent the entire weekend together, he took me on our first date, and then he had to return back to Jackson MS (an hour away) where he was finishing up his last year of architecture school. I was super disappointed to find out he had just accepted a job in Nashville where he'd be moving within the month. Despite the difficulties of long distance, we decided to try to become a couple. We fell in love with each other quickly, much sooner than either of us had expected, despite the 4.5 hours that separated us. We were a long distance couple for two full years. The last 2 years have flown by and have been filled with so much love, laughter, and adventure. 

Taking our engagement pictures with Emily was something I had looked forward to bc I was familiar with her impeccable skill as a photographer. Ryan, however, did not look forward to spending a few hours in front of a camera. It only took a few minutes before we both were aware of how fun Emily was going to make the whole process. Even Ryan admitted that he seriously enjoyed our session! We felt so comfortable around Emily, allowing our session to be super relaxed and fun and allowing us to be ourselves. We never felt posey or awkward. She seriously madethe whole photo shoot so natural, unique, and FUN. We can't wait to spend our wedding day with Emily and Jacob because I know they'll make it such a blast and capture the best moments of our lives in the most beautiful way."

I don't even know where to begin with Ryan and Rachel, I really don't! Rachel and I had communicated through email a ton and we met for coffee at Cafe Eclectic in Harbortown and immediately hit it off. I just knew that her and Ryan were going to be such a fun and outgoing couple! I could literally sit here and talk about how much we laughed during our session and the jokes that were cracked STILL have me laughing. I cannot wait for their absolutely gorgeous wedding in April of next year at Heartwood Hall! 

Josh & Kristina | Waterfall Elopement in Kentucky | Memphis, TN Wedding Photographer

JOSH & KRISTINA - An intimate, waterfall elopement in Corbin, Kentucky.

DOG SLAUGHTER FALLS

Don't let the name fool you. Sunday, June 12, 2016

Josh and my husband go way back. Like "highschool buddies, skipping class, late night trips to taco bell" back. I couldn't even begin to tell you all of the stories I've heard from their friendship but it makes me so happy that he's got a best friend like that. 

On Saturday, we drove up to Kentucky and scoped out some spots but mostly we just wanted to see Josh and Kristina. We hadn't seen them since WE married more than a year ago! Josh gave us the honor of standing beside Jacob on our wedding day but we were completely humbled when he asked us to photograph his elopement to Kristina. And BOY was I glad that we were there. The atmosphere alone was incomparable. I can usually nail details on describing what I was surrounded by, but I can't. The words aren't there. You just had to be there.

Sunday we got up SO early, but it was totally worth it. I wasn't even my normal grumpy self when I haven't had my coffee yet :P  I had traveled with a giant cooler in my backseat so that I could transport the flowers from my favorite florist, Memphis Center City Wholesale in Bartlett. That morning I cut the stems and put the bouquet and Kristina's crown together and we headed to their hotel to help get them ready. I mean they were family to us basically.

We traveled down a dirt road off the highway for a few miles and then hiked a little over a mile to the falls and I fell in love. It's not the biggest waterfall but it was simple and secluded and that's exactly what we were looking for. 

We could not have had a better time in Kentucky! We laughed. We cried. We tripped over roots and rocks and slid down hills. And then we laughed some more. I'm so sad that we were all limited on time spent together but this won't be the last we see of them. My heart is so full, we love you guys! CONGRATULATIONS!

SHELBI & RAMSEY | DAY AFTER SESSION

SHELBY FARMS PARK | MEMPHIS, TN

Jacob and I had the pleasure of meeting Shelbi and Ramsey over the weekend at Shelby Farms for their intimate Day After session. These are quickly (very quickly) becoming one of my favorite type of sessions. There's nothing more powerful than invested love and it's always fun to reminisce on your wedding day. Sometimes wedding days are hectic and there is so much to take in that you sometimes miss out on things. I, personally, love Day After Sessions because it gives you a chance to be one on one with your spouse in a more relaxed and calming state!

Shelbi and I had been talking about their session and she expressed how they loved their wedding images, but would have loved more time. We set up her appointment after discussing what she liked about our style and how she visioned us capturing their relationship and they took it over! I could have stayed at Shelby Farms all night if they wouldn't have close at 8:00PM. BUT here are some of my favorites from their session!!

Shea & Kelsey Connor - A Vintage Wedding at Woodruff-Fontaine Museum in Memphis, TN | Memphis, Tn Wedding Photographer

MR & MRS SHEA CONNOR | MEMPHIS, TN

APRIL 30TH, 2016

I know you guys remember the adorable couple I photographed last fall with the favorite image called "The Mantle Piece", right? Well here they are again..... 

And now they are HAPPILY MARRIED!!! So surreal. I met this awesome couple last summer and they were referred to me by my best friend, Meagen. *thanks beeb* We talked over coffee at the incredible City & State Coffee house in Midtown, in the arts district of Broad Ave. Quickly became one of my favorite places to stop in when I'm in the area. We instantly clicked. These two had my heart from the moment I saw them interacting through the window of the store. My favorite thing about them was that they are just as weird as I am. They let me have full rein over their engagement pictures and we laughed until we cried...... twice. 

Fast forward to April 30th, and while we had a little bit of a problem in the beginning of the day, Kelsey kicked in gear and completely transformed the entire day. We went from gloomy and overcast skies, to sweating by the first dance because the sun came out!! I absolutely LOVED their venue, The Woodruff-Fontaine Museum located just off of Adams in Downtown. They have awesome tours all year long and special ones on specific holidays. Be sure to find them on Facebook to keep up with all of their events!

Besides their amazing venue, Kelsey's details were so quirky! It was right up my alley. While I couldn't get over every little detail, the day as a whole was intimate and joyful and as unique as Kelsey and Shea are. Every single thing from their awesome bridal wreaths to the groomsmen funky patterned ties had a touch of Kelsey and Shea. These don't even put a dent into the images we captured this day, but here are some of our favorites!

We had to end this celebration of Shea and Kelsey's brand new marriage by hopping into the bar across the street from their venue called, Mollie Fontaine Lounge. If you are ever in the area, I highly, HIGHLY, suggest stopping by this place. 

Jacob, Cassie and I were tremendously honored to have spent the day with you and documenting your journey into marriage. You guys have become SUCH great friends of ours, I am forever grateful to have you in my life as well as excited to watch your sweet family grow! <3

Baileigh / Styled Shoot

I recently wanted to update some portraits for my website/portfolio and found the perfect group of girls to do it! One of them was the ever so stunning, Baileigh Bennington. We did a simple boho/glam look and stopped on the side of the road somewhere in Hernando, MS. It was incredibly windy that day but that's almost my favorite time to shoot because what is more raw and beautiful than something you can't control? Thanks so much for hanging out with me to create these beautiful images! <3
