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 Dreamy Canoe Engagement | Sunset at Shelby Farms | Memphis Tennessee | The Hatches - Wedding and Elopement Photographers

R A L P H  &  S A R A H  |  E N G A G E D

When I say "Dreamy Canoe" I literally mean.... Dreamy Canoe. Holy cow did we get lucky with this AMAZING light at Shelby Farms for Sarah and Ralph's engagement session! We had wine and cheese and lots of flowers, what more could you ask for? OH YEAH. That sunset! The colors in the sky were almost as romantic as the love between S + R. I wish I could live this day over and over again. Hands down, easily in my top faves. 

I could talk about this session forever but I'll let you see the images because, they're way more interesting ;) 

Hope you love them!

A Playful Sunrise Anniversary Session | Shira + Wesley | The Hatches - Memphis Wedding Photographers

A PLAYFUL SUNRISE ANNIVERSARY SESSION

SHIRA + WESLEY | MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

WOW. That's what I'm going to start with. Shira and Wesley were every photographer's DREAM to capture. From the moment they stepped out of their car to the very last frame, they lit up the world around them. When Shira smiled, Wesley smiled. When Wesley laughed, Shira laughed. I had never met a couple more in sync like these two. 

They both, despite the freezing cold, had me laughing until my sides hurt. They were so... energetic and full of love and emotion for each other, I had VERY little direction to give them. I literally sat and soaked up every second of their relationship. And I have ZERO complaints. 
Β 

Shira is also a photographer, Shira Marie Photography, so photographing them came as easy as their love for each other. Wesley admires Shira. You could see it in his face. And Shira adores Wesley, you can see it in her smile. I LOVE these two, I hope I get to photograph them again!

Here are some of my absolute faves, I hope you guys enjoy! <3

A Fun and Creative Senior Session | The Hatches | Wedding Photographer

Ashley W. | Senior

When I say we got creative with Ashley's session, I mean I shot her whole senior session at 3 different restaurants in my current hometown. Would you have guessed? Haha 

We started at Casa Mexicana because I just simply adored this weird and fuzzy looking plant. And you guys know.... I'm all about weird stuff. The light was crazy perfect because it was a little overcast but we got some sunshine here and there. Ashley hung out in my office for an hour or so while Cristina A did her hair and make up. You can check out her portfolio here : (Cristina Aguirre)

After Casa, we headed over to Wendy's... yeah we did. There was a small willow tree I had eyed one day when I just had to have a Frosty and some fries, and said "Yep. Using that one day." It's so funny seeing all the looks I get when I just randomly pull in somewhere and get out with my camera. But hey, sometimes you just have to get creative. ;)

Last we stopped at Colton's because Mom had gotten into my mindset and saw a beautiful white stone wall that would look perfect with Ashley's striped navy dress.. so we trucked it over there. This was definitely one of my favorite sessions as I tried all new locations and even a few tricks while shooting. I've started to slow down while shooting and I'm loving the results I'm getting. 

Thank you so much to Ashley and her mom for coming to Olive Branch and letting me photograph her as the giddy and remarkable person she is. These are a handful of my favorites, I hope you enjoy them!!

An Elegant And Modern Midtown Wedding | David and Jennifer | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographer | The Hatches

DAVID + JENNIFER

It was a romantic setting for David and Jennifer as we gathered at this inanely beautiful Italian restaurant, The Farmer, in the heart of Midtown Memphis, Tn. 

 Jennifer and I had met prior to their wedding and she told me all about this cute little place, but I had NO idea that it was this freaking gorgeous.

Talk about every photographer's dream venue! 

It was so simple and filled with greenery and every shade of florals all around the corners. It pains me to say that they have moved since I photographed this wedding but my word, pictures don't do this place justice.

BUT! The night was only getting so much better. 

When Jennifer arrived, I had just finished getting some detail shots of the venue and of their decor when I turned the corner and stopped DEAD in my tracks. Jennifer had the most BEAUTIFUL white satin dress on and I was BLOWN away. I'm not kidding. She was, without a doubt, a complete knock-out!

David's reaction (pictured below) was extremely close to my very own!

Jacob and I couldn't have been more excited to be able to witness such a presence of love and fellowship between friends. We can't thank David and Jennifer enough for allowing us the honor of documenting their wedding day. We wish you guys many years of happiness as you embrace this journey in your life ahead! <3

An Intimate Mountainside Wedding in Gatlinburg, Tennessee | Ethan and Shana | Memphis Tennessee Wedding Photographers | The Hatches

Ethan and Shana Stanford | Gatlinburg Tennessee

An Intimate Mountainside Wedding

It's always fun to hear from friends in your past about documenting their futures. For some reason it makes it that much more to take in. Emotionally. For me, at least.

I grew up playing ball with Shana, Sabrina and Cameron as well as having their mom as my 5th grade teacher. We are from a small town haha. Needless to say, when Shana contacted me to photographer her wedding, I was jumping for joy! I photographed her sister, Sabrina's wedding back in 2014 so naturally I was excited to be back with their family!

After talking about the venue and how much their small wedding meant to them, I was that much more excited for them and to have the opportunity to help them relive this day over and over again. Shana was not your typical bride as she was requesting photos for more of an adventurous person, which is right up my alley! When Shana mentioned the river, I was ready to jump right in. Some of my favorite bride and groom portraits are in this river. 

It was so nice to meet Ethan and his side of the family as they were all very welcoming and accommodating. I had such a great time visiting with everyone and capturing Shana and Ethan's wedding day, I truly appreciate you guys asking me and I feel honored to have been a part of your day!

Here are the highlights of their day!
