Samantha’s journey to boudoir comes from her own experience with physical trauma. In 2021, Samantha began a medical journey that led to her having a permanent ostomy bag placed in 2022.

I love it when wedding days go off without a hitch! And that’s exactly what happened for Erin & Michael at their elegant backyard wedding in Wilkesboro last month. I call this wedding a “backyard wedding”. However, the wedding actually took place in Erin & Michael’s front yard at their historic Wilkesboro home. Not many […]

Stephanie & Tanner tied the knot earlier this month at the Austin family’s Christmas tree farm in Ashe county. Their wedding date 10/10/2020 was by far the most popular date this year and it […]
