I fell in love with photography 10 years ago. But it wasn't until I photographed my first wedding that I fell in love people. I love capturing beautiful images, but I know that pictures aren't my true purpose... people are! 
I'm incredibly grateful to be able to love and serve my brides & grooms! Helping them create the most joyful, genuine, and memorable wedding day is an honor and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I love the pretty.
BUt live for the genuine, joyful moments.
