Honeymoon in Asheville, NC

So excited to finally show this fun editorial shoot Jen Curtis and I shot for the awesome ladies at Southern Weddings Magazine, one of my favorite magazines out there. If you haven’t seen the newest issue, you NEED to go pick 1 up, or 2. The styling was done by my buddy Joy Thigpen and the brides gown was actually found by my assistant Lacie Hansen. She’s got the best eye around for detail.. Thanks to Joel Serrato for helping me load my film and for the laughs .. LOVE you!
