I am so so super (like I want to go celebrate with a big bowl of moose tracks ice cream and maybe even a party hat) excited to announce to you that BerryTree Photography is expanding to encompass Greenville, SC, Asheville, NC and Charlotte, NC as part of our wedding collections.  What does this mean?  Weddings in these locations will no longer incur travel fees!  I am currently working on branching out to local vendors and planners in these areas to let them know about my new service offerings, but if you happen to know anyone in these areas that is engaged, I would LOVE if you would pass along the information!  This is such an exciting time for BerryTree Photography…thank you for the ongoing and continued support!!

I was so excited to get to shoot Ellen and Stephen’s wedding this summer! Not only are they incredible, down to earth people, they had their reception at Berry College…my alma mater and the namesake of BerryTree Photography! You’ll see from the images how amazing their day was and what an incredible place Berry College is! Ellen and Stephen had a morning wedding and a lunch reception and then afterwards we had a blast wandering around the mountain campus of Berry and utilizing it’s breathtaking scenery for some incredible images! Make sure you check out the ones of Ellen riding piggyback in her ballgown! So classic! I loved that they were up for anything…including climbing up into a tree for a picture! I had a blast with you two! Thanks so much for allowing me to capture your day!

Earlier this fall I was super blessed to get to help capture the wedding of Colleen and Sean.  My amazingly talented friend, Amber Anderson, was contracted to shoot this wedding and since I lived a mere 6 hours away, I decided to make the trip with her to help her shoot it!  What better than a road trip with one of your best friends and then getting to shoot a gorgeous wedding once you reach your destination!  Sometimes it’s good for the soul to step into a 2nd photographer position where you can work on shooting things differently or challenge yourself in ways you couldn’t as the primary shooter – and we had a blast together!  Below are just a few of my images from the day.  I hope you enjoy!

I’ve known Kathy from an online forum for the last 8 years.  We’d never met in person, but Kathy told me that she loved my photography and that some day she’d get to meet me because she was hiring me if she ever got married!  Seeing that Kathy lives in Portland, OR and I live in Atlanta, GA (total opposite all the way across the country from each other) I was hopefully but figured it would be a long stretch to actually make it happen.  Imagine my surprise when Kathy contacted me, said she was newly engaged and the only thing she could think about was making sure I could come shoot her wedding…what an honor!

Kathy and Mike’s wedding was gorgeous, but what I remember most about their day was the amount of love that was EVERYWHERE!  These two are one special couple…and along with their boys…they have a mighty special family!  One of the neatest things about their day was that they included a Persian ceremony to honor Kathy’s heritage!  It was so unique and just perfect!  Ok…enough from me.  Let’s let the pictures do the talking!  Enjoy!!

Jenna and Matt are one of those couples that you instantly love.  They are both laid back and incredibly calm, but also have an adventurous spirit and are up for anything!  I knew this to be true when they decided to have their engagement pictures taken at the county fair…how fun!  (P.S. – I can’t believe I never shared those here…they’ll be posted soon!)  Their wedding day was gorgeous!  Simple, and organic, with touches of gray, blue, and green scattered throughout their day.  I love that instead of flowers, they used plants for their centerpieces that could then be taken home and enjoyed for years to come!  The background of the Foundry at Puritan Mill provided the perfect juxtaposition of industrial and organic for a truly unique wedding that was a joy to capture!
