Oklahoma City has grown so much over the last couple of years, and it has been such an exciting thing to witness. New shops, restaurants, bars, events, and organizations inspired and created by Okies has developed our area and raised the bar on local community. H&8th Night Market (Hudson & 8th St downtown) is one of these events that brings thousands of people out each third Friday to visit shops, restaurants, and food trucks, see art shows, and my favorite- watch live shows with our talented local bands.
I believe they’re done for the winter, but keep an eye out for when they start back up in warmer weather! At the last event I shot photos of my amazing friend Chelsey!

Couples like Kasey and Andrew are why I love what I do! So sweet, fun, quirky, and down for anything! They had an intimate ceremony at the Sand Plum Event Center in historic downtown Guthrie, Oklahoma. They got ready at the Pollard Inn across the street. I was assisted by Catie Bartlett, who contributed some of the shots below, including behind the scenes.

Being a photographer is like an all access pass to some of the most special moments in life. I had the privilege of photographing the engagement of my friends Caleb & Hannah- where he proposed at Vast, 726 feet in the air, atop the Devon tower, with the gorgeous downtown OKC backdrop. Under the guise of Hannah’s birthday dinner, she was totally surprised! CONGRATS YOU TWO!!! Can’t wait to shoot your WEDDING!!
