THE JOURNAL

Matt & Andie’s wedding is definitely at the top of my most favorite weddings list.  Everything about these two reminds me how much I love what I do.  They have this awesome, unique strength for each other that I’m certain will carry them through the trials, tribulations, joys and celebrations of marriage.  I’ve loved every […]

I get asked a lot about why I chose to be a wedding photographer.  Of all the things I could shoot … babies, trees, kids, fruit, far away places …why I chose weddings.  And the answer for me is simple.  I’m in love with love.  And I get to see it, experience and feel it […]

Happy Friday, Y’all!  Another Friday & another edition of Friday Faves.  Here we go … 1.  The Ocean.  It’s calling me.  Again. And I’m feeling the itch to work my way back to it somehow, some way.  We have a few trips next year planned in far away places with an ocean nearby, but I’m […]

I’m excited to finally share with you a wedding that’s near and dear to my heart.  I love all things Up North (and if you’re not a Michigan native, you probably have no idea what on Earth I’m talking about).  But all things Up North are simply heavenly.  Warm summer days splashing around in a […]
