Some people enter your life and feel like instant friends—that’s exactly what happened when I met Anna! Her joyful, bubbly spirit mirrored my own, and our conversations quickly turned from wedding plans to life updates, teacher stories, and everything in between. Photographing her and Bradley’s wedding didn’t feel like work; it felt like celebrating two people I truly adore.

From the moment the doors opened to reveal cascading florals and timeless southern charm, the Luxmore Grande Estate set the stage for one of the most breathtaking styled editorials I’ve ever been part of. Hosted by Styled Shoots Across America, this editorial was the first shoot of their 2025 Intrigue Tour, and what a way to begin. If you can imagine an entire estate transformed into a floral wonderland with dreamy couples, couture gowns, and jaw-dropping details, then you’re just starting to picture the magic of this day.

One of the things I loved most about this engagement session was how present Mary Margaret and Owen were with each other. It can be easy to get caught up in the details of a photo session—wondering how you look, if you’re standing the right way, or if your smile feels natural—but these two simply let themselves be.
