A Love Note

Life as a photographer is sporadic and exciting— filled with new faces, experiences and driven by story.

I love my job, but not because it’s drenched in newness. I love it because of the couples I meet and grow to adore, the ones I represent on the day they say, “I do.”

To me, each of their stories are unique— the way they people meet, how they grow to love each other, and through thick and thin, decide to choose each other day-in and day-out.

My couples have their own heartbeat, their own rhythm and time. And their wedding day is a representation of all their vibrance; all their love, sweat and tears wrapped up into a single experience. It was designed by them, for them and their most beloved people.

My couples are why I show up at work every day, and why for the past several years, I have chosen to stand behind a camera in dusty fields, crowded ballrooms, rained out ceremonies and scorching heat. They are my reason to show up, and I haven’t regretted a single moment.
