The Legacy Album | a fine art heirloom

The Legacy Album | a fine art heirloom

When you’re holding onto your special family session, looking through your wedding day, reliving those precious newborn memories, I want you to rest assured that you’re holding onto the highest quality prints, images that wont fade and are museum rated to last a lifetime. Your cherished heirloom will hold your memories safe and sound in a tidy space that can be passed down to your grandkids. And, no; bigger isn’t always better. I can already imagine the small 4x5 soft pink nubuck leather heirloom of my own family being held in the hands of my great grandchildren one day. When they sit and look out at the land where Emmajean played and hold a bit of their family history in their hands I imagine their smiles and connection. Y’all— I’m seriously the most sentimental person in the world… but I digress.

I’m a believer in embracing dreams and diving in head first, so last winter I put it out in the universe, I prayed over it, planned it out, and marketed for an elopement giveaway to host our first elopement at the farm. Rather than set up the whole event as a “styled session” like many of us photographers in the industry work to capture content and promote new ideas, I wanted to use this opportunity to serve a real life couple by offering our first elopement as a giveaway. I can’t lie, I was a bit nervous at how this would be received. How many people would agree to be the first couple to elope, in July, on our farm?

I was thrilled with the response to my elopement giveaway, but could only offer it to one couple. After speaking with Sara + Mickey I knew they were the ones!

Stephanie + Gabrielle | A Heartfelt Ceremony at The Barn on Heron Hill

I always like to do a consultation before any contracts are signed because it is so important to me to know that the couple trusts me with not only the style of photography, but also with me as a person, with my gear, that I am able to answer questions and even help customize a collection for them. Most importantly, I want everyone who reserves my photography to feel 1000 percent comfortable and excited with their decision - because booking your wedding photography is a big deal! Not only do I want to be certain you’re going to love the artistic style of your photos, your wedding photographer is with you all day on one of the biggest days of your life, and I like to be one of the biggest cheerleaders for you on that day! Congrats Steph and Gabby!! Thanks for being amazing Brides!!
