From the very beginning, Hendrix and Emma’s wedding day unfolded with a sense of calm excitement that set the tone for everything that followed. November showed off in the best way possible with crisp temperatures, gentle sunshine, and that perfect in‑between-season glow that photographers (and couples!) dream of. The Hartley House provided the most timeless backdrop — classic Southern charm, beautiful grounds, and so many pockets for elegant portraits.

Emma was absolutely stunning — effortlessly elegant and glowing with joy. Her look paired beautifully with the soft blue and white florals, which felt classic with just the right hint of romance. Hendrix looked equally sharp, and together they had a quiet, confident chemistry that made photographing them such a joy. Every moment between them felt natural, genuine, and full of love.

The ceremony was heartfelt and emotional in the best way — the kind that has guests leaning in, smiling through tears, and fully present for every word. As the sun dipped lower, we took advantage of the beautiful light around The Hartley House, capturing portraits that felt timeless, romantic, and true to who Hendrix and Emma are together.

Their wedding party deserves a special shoutout — kind, supportive, and genuinely fun to be around. You could feel how much they cared about Hendrix and Emma, and that energy carried through the entire day. From laughter during portraits to emotional moments leading up to the ceremony, everyone showed up with full hearts and positive vibes.

Every detail of the day felt intentional, but never forced. It was one of those weddings where everything simply worked— the weather, the people, the location, the love. Truly one of those days that reminds me why I adore photographing weddings so much.

Hendrix and Emma, thank you for trusting me to document such an important chapter of your story. Your November wedding at The Hartley House was nothing short of perfect, and it was an honor to be part of it.
