The experience of my own aisle moment is at the heart behind why I choose to document wedding days: to create light-filled reminders of the greatest promise I've come to know. I looked up from my mama’s embrace to see my future husband walking away from the altar...he was coming to meet us halfway down the aisle. This made journeying towards the greatest act of faith something we did together. I was sure grateful to have two sets of hands in mine for those final steps! Revisiting photographs by opening our own album brings back every racing heartbeat, happy tear, & warmth from favorite embraces all over again.

I work from a place of inspiration unlike any before, and it's why I only take 10 weddings per year - to give my very best in life and business. For me, it's about pouring my heart into what fills it right up again. Each time I pick up a camera I'm reminded of all the good surrounding us. I see the way they inspire the best version of you through their own acts of love and keep you believing. Sharing that feeling is what I do, it's what I love.
