My understanding of what matters most to brides on their wedding day was forever changed the moment I become one. Since my work is a reflection of me, the images my clients receive is a direct result of what the day evoked within; how I was feeling during those precious moments.

I'm constantly striving to tell a story within each image. Typically, it's the story of falling in love. Getting people to fully open up in front of a camera takes years of practice and is a skill I utilize in all of my portraits.
