From the time I had my first cell phone, I always had it up the air taking photos! My first memories of constantly taking photos include the never-ending cloud photos I had on my cell phone (let's not mention the cloud specific Instagram account I had), or when I started baking, or when I transferred high-schools and used photography as a way to bond with new friends. Throughout my life I've always loved photography as a way to connect with the world around me, and through weddings, I've been able to expand that love ten-fold!
The hopeless romantic in me loves to see the bond between couples that I know I'll one day find for myself (news flash: you and your partner are keeping my hope in love alive!)
No matter how rough, weird, or sad life and relationships can get, there's always that person out there wishing they had someone exactly like the weirdo I know you are, and you've found your matching pair for life.
What kind of person wouldn't want to spend as much time around that kind of hope as possible? P.S. totally ignore me at the wedding ceremony, I will 1000% be crying but getting beautiful photos through the tears
Number of states in The United States that I've visited!
Number of times that I've seen the musical Hamilton, this is a very low estimate honestly
Number of books that I own (trust me, it takes all of my self control for this to not be a higher number)
Number of times my birthday fell on the Super Bowl!
The number of theatre productions (yes, including musicals, I was that kid) I was in, in high-school!
I have always loved to travel. Even as a young child I would grab my tiny suitcase and throw nothing but bathing suits into it (because what are children if not impractical) and plan my vacation to anywhere I thought I could find a beach.
Airports are honestly a second home for me (yes, this is directly referencing the unexpected 24 hour layover I had in Denver, CO). I love the hustle and bustle (except TSA, I don't know anyone who enjoys TSA), and it is absolutely the best place ever to people watch.

I truly believe that the day shouldn't be about photos, but the photos should be about the day.
Your wedding is not a chance for a good photo-op, it's the day you'll look back on in twenty years. You'll want to see candids, your parents crying, and remember the perfume you wore.
With me, that's what you get. On your
wedding day, I'm your rock. I'm the one wiping the tears, coordinating what needs organizing,
kicking butt, and taking names.
I started photographing weddings because I loved witnessing
the shared love between two people and how that love brings them together through thick and
thin.
In my hands, your love story is treated with the utmost care and importance and is not only one of the most important days of your life because you're sharing it with the people you love, but because you will have amazing photos to look back on it with.
