After tying the knot last year in a intimate, backyard ceremony - these two were finally able to have a big celebration with their family & friends! This day was so prefect & totally worth the wait! 

It was beautiful to see the small group gather in support of this couple. Amy & Josh are each so kind-hearted – together I know they will build a life full of love & support for one another. This wedding day was so honest & lovely. I can’t wait to photograph the big party next year!

And that’s what has stood out to me this year at weddings. I’ve noticed that I feel pure joy when I see these moments that weren’t possible for so long. Moments […]

I can’t help but smile when I think of Josh & Amy – they truly are so kind, patient, generous, & loving. Josh’s mom made a point of talking to everyone at the reception & she said the sentiments are shared pretty exclusively… Josh & Amy are THE BEST. I was lucky enough to meet […]

I love when friends & family of my previous couples choose me to photograph their wedding! I get to see familiar faces again and it just feels like a happy reunion. In 2017 I had the pleasure of photographing Julia & Timo’s French-Impressionist-inspired wedding. Their families were so kind and I loved documenting all the […]
