  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,800

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

“Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3”

No cheesy clichés—just your story, beautifully preserved.

“My wedding at the Hayloft Theatre was a magical day, but Ken of Creative Lens & Design added a new dimension to it by capturing images with a drone. I was happy to step back into my wedding dress so that its beauty could be appreciated from an aerial view, but the video Ken was able to create with the drone was more than I could have dreamed of. The rich, vibrant colors of the red barn, the blazing orange leaves on the trees, and the various shades of blue flowers in the bouquet against my flowing ivory gown shimmered in the bronze glow of the autumn sun as it prepared to slip beneath the horizon. The video created by the drone footage added a beautiful chapter to my wedding story!”

“We got married at the Blue Dress Barn this summer and our entire wedding day was like a fairytale--we still can't get over how beautiful everything was. The greenery and grounds of the BDB are unmatched and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful everything was. Amelia is helpful and easy to work with and Georgia is lovely as well. The barn staff left the florals up on the arch and in the barn from the night before, which was such an incredible surprise because they were so gorgeous. The getting ready areas for the bridesmaids and groomsmen had so many beautiful & intentional details that made it so special for us. The venue is also well known by other vendors in the area as well since it's been around for so long (23 years!), and so working with our catering staff (Classic Catering), photography (Spencer Penfield) and DJ (DJ Jennefa) was a breeze.

And when our wedding day finally arrived, Amy was prepared, organized, and ready to make our wedding dreams come true. Because of her, we were able to relax and be in the moment while getting ready to walk down the aisle. She sent me pictures throughout the morning to make sure everything was perfect. And she definitely took my vision and brought it to life. We kept hearing from our friends and family the same 3 rave reviews, the food was delicious, the venue was magical, and Amy was Amazing. I highly recommend reaching out to White Aster Planning if you are considering having a wedding coordinator. You won’t regret it!”

“When my venue, Bay Pointe Inn, recommended Simply Stunning Bridal LLC, I didn't know how lucky I was getting. Tiffany handled hair and makeup for me, my mom, and my sister, and every detail was flawless. My look held up perfectly through outdoor photos and happy tears, which was huge for me. What really stood out was how easy Tiffany was to work with—she listened to my concerns, stayed flexible with timing, and even made sure I ate breakfast that morning. Tiffany brought such a fun energy to the day and made getting ready feel special instead of stressful. I was blown away by her work and would absolutely recommend Simply Stunning Bridal to any bride.”

“I was so happy with my hair and makeup from my wedding day. I had a super complicated updo that required two practice sessions, and my hair stylist was so patient and willing to work with me until we figured out the exact updo I’d had in mind. I have a ton of hair and it’s long and she was so incredible at coming up with ways to get the exact hairstyle I’d imagined. My makeup artist was wonderful too! I got highlights and a quite a bit of sun (for me) after we did our trial run and she was able to pivot and make sure the makeup we did on my wedding day was perfect despite my skin tone and hair being drastically different than before. They were both lovely to work with and I was so happy with how things turned out.”
