Part of being an entrepreneur means planning ahead for potential, but unlikely scenarios.

If there’s any wedding I’ve put the most pressure on myself to photograph, it was definitely for my next youngest sister, Elizabeth, who had an intimate destination wedding in the Caribbean.

Emilee and Charlie are both in the military, and while they live in different cities far away from each other, they make it a point to keep their marriage strong by meeting up whenever possible.

Chanel and Eddie got married at on the lawn of her parents’ house in Tucson, Arizona. There was something so special about having an intimate backyard wedding with a gathering of your closest friends and family. Chanel and Eddie are both very passionate and loyal to their relationship with Christ and his presence on that […]

I said an extra special prayer for Luke and Dominique’s St. Ann’s Chapel & Ranch wedding, as I knew it was planned to be all outdoors.
