Forever living rent-free in my mind is the first wedding I ever photographed. 

I showed up that day as an assistant, completely nervous about how the day was going to play out.
In no time though, my nerves were gone. Celebration was in the air! It was a wedding of 100 people, and almost every single person was getting up and dancing! People were laughing together, sharing hugs, and dancing the same dances moves in sync. It was magical.
I KNEW RIGHT THEN, THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO DO WITH MY LIFE.

When you pick a photographer, the most important thing is to make sure you vibe with them.

You need someone who's going to let you reign free to be who you are.

Whether or not you like the alternative style of black dresses

or want to add an awesome tarot card setup to your day.

Or maybe you need to make random ass sounds to let out the nerves

I'll probably be making them with you

Perhaps your wedding day is Star Wars or Harry Potter themed

I'll be geeking out with you all day long

Where does my

story begin?

There was a time in my life that I had given up.

I remember driving home from work, feeling so low, I didn't believe happiness even existed. I remember thinking to myself, "I owe it to myself and those that I love and love me, to try one more time". So that's what I did. I checked myself into a hospital and spent months in intensive therapy.
Slowly but surely, I started to find hope. It was then that I found photography all over again, but instead of photographing nature and landscapes, I started photographing people and I never looked back. I remember going out in the woods taking pictures of nature years later, but it didn't speak to me the way photographing people did.

and how tears welled to my eyes simultaneously.

It was because of a photo I took of her and her dad dancing. He's an older gentleman and couldn't be on his feet for very long, so the dance was a very special moment for them. She explained to me how much it meant to her and everything it made her feel. That moment will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I'll never forget the first time I made a bride cry...
