I met Brittany YEARS ago from our swimming days at Liberty High School … Hard to believe that was probably 10 years ago?! I was ecstatic when I met up with Danny and Brittany and they asked if I could photograph their special day! They are incredibly sweet and not to mention so fun together … […]

Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! It was a HOT one for sure … in fact, it felt like a true July/August weekend. I actually even ended up with a heat rash from Saturday’s wedding! Talk about intense… Haha! Trying to dress up cute isn’t always the best choice when it is 90+ […]

I don’t typically blog on Fridays but I realized next week is slammed with portraits/wedding to be featured and want to stay on schedule. 🙂 I’m not sure if you were able to go outside on Tuesday evening but the sun looked so bizarre. I was on my way to meeting up with Kristy and her lovely family […]

I don’t think I have ever been in one space with so many different football fans around. During the best man’s speech, Daniel mentioned how Matt and him would hang out and watch football as their bonding time. Of course he started calling out different football teams and the room started to roar with cheers […]

It has been a while since I last did a “what’s in a bag“. I still have so much to go over so of course I didn’t forget. 😉 We learned all about the use of a Macro Lens last post and this time I’m going to go over the huge mack daddy lens, 70-200mm! […]

Talk about a CLOSE call! All day, we prayed for no rain when it mattered. It’s okay if it had to rain in the morning … just as long as we are able to have the outdoor activities taken care of at the gorgeous Morais Vineyard. 😉 I was setting up for the ceremony when I […]

Things are starting to slow down on my wedding calendar. I cannot imagine what I am going to do with all of my time in July! I took the month off of weddings in hopes to travel and go to the beach, but we will see!! I definitely wouldn’t trade this busy time for anything. I […]

Let me just start off with saying that I adore Phil and Allie together! Their wedding day really was a magical from start to finish. Many smiles, laughs and tears were shed from Allie’s parents seeing her dressed up to Phil seeing Allie walking down the aisle to the hilarious dancing that occurred during the […]

Gosh, SO much has happened over these past three years of being in business. Growth, meaning, dedication, balance … This has been an amazing ride of my life!! I only hope to continue the growth over the years to come. This week, Pixie and I have the pleasure of celebrating Stephanie Messick Photography’s Three Year Anniversary! […]

It seems like weekday weddings are becoming more and more popular as I grow in the industry. Dustin and Brooke had a lovely Wednesday celebration with their closest family and friends last week and I am incredibly honored to have documented these special memories for them. I was a little nervous when I was driving up […]
