The JOURNAL

One of the coolest parts of my job as a wedding photographer is witnessing first hand all the ways God has been faithful in the lives of the couples I get to work with. Everyone has a different story pieced together by joys and hardships, but every time, newfound love serves as a stark reminder […]

The relationship began by Instagram stalking each other (by “relationship”, I mean mine and Asher’s). I’m not sure how I originally stumbled on her Instagram feed, but I was drawn to her missions photos, and how much they reminded me of my own missions experiences. Her commentary left me nostalgic for those crazy international moments […]

Jeremy and Nicole are two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They’re so much fun, they’re friendly and supportive, they’re talented, and honestly…. I feel so blessed to have been asked to photograph their engagement. They’re the type of people who hug you immediately upon seeing you… the type to make sure everyone else […]

They met on eHarmony, as so many do. Enzo is the thoughtful and witty type, and Stefanie is the sweet and sassy sort. They met and fell in love and are tying the knot this November! Stories like theirs make me SO happy. I love that social media and the internet has the potential for […]

Mariel was working in Paris, France and she had been away on this assignment for a few weeks. She was expecting a friend to come visit (because, really…. of all the places in the world to be sent to work on a project, Paris HAS to be the coolest!) and on the evening the friend […]

 They met through a podcast. He was the podcast personality and she was a dedicated subscriber who thought he was the bee’s knees. Through some connections of connections, they met and became fast friends, enjoying one another’s quick wit and sense of humor. He thought she was gorgeous, she was already smitten…. they started spending […]

I got an email the other evening from my sister’s friend Michaela. I’ve known Michaela since she played waterpolo with my sister back in high school and she’s one of the sweetest and most caring people ever. Her email was buried under my daily pile, but as I scanned it, I had to stop and […]

Steven and Melanie met in high school. After being introduced by their mutual friends, Steven worked up the courage to ask Melanie out on a date. The school play sounded like a reasonable first date, so they went together, sat four rows from the back, and cheered on their drama friends. From the start, Steven […]

Jonathan and Regina are one of those couples that put real life meaning in the word “love.” They’re comfortable in their love, they laugh together, and they choose to put each other first amidst jobs and passions and life’s obstacles. I know it’s a bit late to be sharing these photos, but I’m really excited […]

Fall is my favorite time of year. I’m sure I sound like a broken record if you’ve followed my blog over the years because every fall I post photos of beautiful fall leaves and how thankful I am for them…. bla bla bla. But in all seriousness…. I really do love fall. A few weeks […]
