If you search online for new and exciting wedding trends for 2022, you will see all kinds of ideas from wedding planners, magazine editors and event designers about what they see as being popular this year! Even though I’m not the magazine editor for Martha Stewart Weddings, these are some trends that I hope will start and stick around for 2022!

I was really excited when I found out that my friend Lisa and her husband Darrin were expecting! She started looking for a maternity photographer on Facebook, and when I commented on her post about asking her to look over my work on my website, we talked back and forth and she booked me for a session! Now, you would never know from looking that these photos were taken in 35 degree weather! Yes, it was that cold! I’m not gonna lie – after shooting in the cold for an hour, I drove home with the seat warmer on high the whole time, haha! Enjoy their photos! Lisa and Darrin are going to be such great parents!

If you follow my social media, you know that I’m a big supporter of community over competition. I believe in uplifting others especially in the wedding industry because we can all work together to succeed in this business! Plus, if you form relationships with other wedding pros, they will refer you to their clients and vice versa. It’s a win-win!!

I was super excited to interview Olivia Terrell, the owner of Willow Tree Planning here in Cleveland, Tennessee. She helps brides plan their weddings on a budget and loves being their “hype girl” with great attention to detail and making sure your special day goes smoothly! She has become a friend of mine not just in the wedding industry but as a mom friend as well, since both of our kids are friends too 🙂
