I miss LiveJournal.

So I’m gonna make it everyone else’s problem.

Welcome to my corner of the internet that I pay for monthly. And if I’m gonna pay for it, I’m gonna shout in to my own personal void. Social media kind of sucks nowadays, so here I want to slow down and share stories the way I used to on LiveJournal, or Tumblr, where three or so people tuned in. Here, you’ll find real moments from weddings and elopements across North Carolina, tips for planning your own unique day, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the magic of shooting on film. If you miss the days of deep-dive blogging and want to celebrate love that’s genuine, intentional, and against the grain (get it?) — you’ve got the right place.
