I’m ashamed to admit that, but hey, I’m a photographer! I realized that I really did want a video, especially since photos can’t capture the words we would be saying to each other. At […]
And now for the main event! Our ceremony was really important to us. It actually ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day. Let me tell you about it! Oh, here’s our invitation that I designed. We did online RSVP to save printing and postage. For the most part it worked great. […]
When I was choosing who to ask to be my bridesmaids I thought about it pretty hard. There were a lot of people I could ask since I have a ton of friends who I love. So how do you pick who is going to stand with you on one of the most important days […]
I am a huge proponent of the first look, that moment set aside for just the bride and groom where they get to spend a few moments together before the ceremony. It’s great because it allows you to do more photos before the ceremony so that you can spend more time with your guests. But […]
At long last…. I’m finally posting about our wedding! So where do I even begin? Well the day began with hearing Heidi and Karey (two of my bridesmaids who had spent the night at my house) whispering in the other room as to not wake me up. But since I was awake I yelled, “I’m […]

All weddings are special. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of and tell the story of each family’s wonderful day. But some weddings are just a joy to be a part of. Jenna & Justin’s wedding was one of those. Maybe it was the seriousness with which they approached […]
One of the things I love about what I do is that I get to hear lots of stories. I love to hear about how two people met and fell in love and even how they got engaged. Sharla and Travis have a great story. They made me laugh when they told me how Travis […]
I met Jenna when she was 4 years old. Wow! I babysat her and her brothers a few times when I was in college. I haven’t seen her and her family since then. So when I got a message from her dad (thank you facebook!) saying they were planning a wedding! Jenna & Justin’s first […]
With the recent opening of The Great Gatsby, and all of it’s beautiful style and glamour, I was reminded of one of my favorite weddings I photographed late last year. And then I realized, I never blogged it in its entirety! Shame on me! It’s no shock that I love all things vintage. I love […]
