Landon and Amanda's wedding day was a highlight of my entire summer. Not just a highlight from my many photo bookings, but a highlight that I look back on with so much happiness and awe. It was one of those days I packed up from and felt like I had not merely left a photography client, but dearest friends. My entire summer of weddings has felt accidenta[...]
I took this self portrait four months ago; quite literally in the middle of a really desperate moment. Everything in my life felt like it was spilling over; like red wine spilled and stained on white carpet. I had this towel wrapped around me and walked into my room for a change of clothes.

Kit + Lyssa are the loveliest pair, and I thought so many times, "How did I score so lucky to work with such down to earth, chillax, kind people?!" This is my first year jumping back into weddings a[...]
My oh my, I am a little speechless as I reflect on Tom + Carson's wedding day. They signed up for the March gamble of bracing for a potential downpour, cold front, or anything else in March's unpredictable climate shift. Let me tell you: It was a slice of heaven on earth.
