The BEST DAY OF YOUR Life! Your wedding day is so special; you might never have all the people that you love all together ever again. The day goes by so quickly that you don’t get to appreciate all the precious details you spent months planning. My goal as your photographer is to preserve the memories and details of your special day so you can re-live and share them for generations to come.

Mercy is amazing! She came to our home to take newborn photos, and didn’t rush us, and let me take time to feed our new baby in the middle of the session so he would calm down and be settled for pictures. She got us sneak peeks about a week later and the whole gallery a couple weeks after that! She was helpful suggesting different poses and working with the inspiration pics I had sent her before hand. She is also so sweet to be around and made us feel super comforting while taking pictures, I highly recommend Mercy !!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Eugene was responsive, flexible, and overall had such an incredible eye. He was super open to my suggestions, but also at the various spots gave great advice and helped us pose in a way that looked natural. I could not be more thrilled with our sneak peak, and all of our friends and family have been blown away with the photos so far. Eugene was excellent at getting candids, the formal, photos, and especially the romantic photos I had saved from pinterest. I spent hours and hours researching photographers as that was most important to me, and I am so glad I went with Eugene. We will be referring him to all our friends who get married nearby!

Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!
