THE JOURNAL

Hannah & Kiel have a pretty amazing story, having traveled all the way to Paris when they were younger, only to realize they were a good match, fall in love then travel back home and start a new adventure together.  I have truly loved every minute working with them from their engagement shoot in Downtown […]

I’m so excited to blog this beauty of a wedding.  Vance & Elizabeth’s Weller’s Carriage House Wedding was so beautiful in every way.  They were referred to me through another friend, and just a few weeks after I booked them, I got a call that they were expecting twins.  Yes, you read that right, twins.

Mike & Nicole’s Planterra Conservatory wedding is hitting the blog today with perfect timing.  I sit here looking out my window at the snow on the ground, a box of tissues nearby from a cold I just powered through and I need nothing more than to remember a warm day.  And warm it was for […]
