Bibb Mill Wedding

“Our bride was our inspiration. Hannah decided on a big chop to go back to her roots and embrace her true look during quarantine. She embraced her look fully, and it was inspiring to me as the photographer to capture because her emotions were bold, raw, and captivating. Hannah has a vibrant personality. It paired perfectly with the bold, feminine colors in the floral arrangements.

Combining pink and yellow florals with the historic mill in Columbus, Georgia created a romantic flair. Luna Rose Florals crafted a vibrant bouquet and boutonniere for our couple. But her floral garland that hung onto the outdoor windows overlooking the river was the aspect of the shoot that I loved most. As the ceremony backdrop, it was the perfect complimentary accent to the backdrop of the Mill ruins.

The Bibb Mill Event Center’s architecture reflects forgotten romance. I chose to highlight the southern features of the mill: the softened brick, Spanish moss, overgrown greenery, and landscaped gardens. Overall, we created a historic and gentle aesthetic while also bringing bold, modern, playful vibes! All images captured on film.”

I'm LAURA

welcome to my journal

This is where I love sharing recent weddings and sessions, my travels, and life with my husband, and our three pets. When I'm not capturing a wedding day, I'm often enjoying the outdoors with Garrett, playing with our pups, or finding a new place to call home for the weekend. My passion is telling love stories, and I hope I get to fall in love with telling yours.

let's meet!

THE JOURNAL

North Beach was the perfect location for Nicole and Rob's Tybee Island session. While they played with their pup, Lucy, I simply followed. We ran together on the sand, not worrying for once about dirty hems or windy hair.

Christie and Brian strayed from traditional southern clichés and played into the modern lines and motifs of Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta throughout their wedding design – from their paper to their florals.

I was honored to be able to capture my second photographer's sweet family for her birthday and Mother’s Day present. We played on the grounds of Meadowlark 1939 and came away with the most lovely photos of her and her family.
