Sam & Brittany’s wedding plans- like everything else in 2020- were shifted and changed but their day was so special and intimate. I was amazed how chill they were and how their day surrounded only by close friends in a tent in their backyard was just perfect. When we captured their engagement story earlier this […]

Lisa shared I want to capture “the little hands and cheeks, wild hair, the million kisses Emilia gives Luna everyday, and the weird poses Anders makes during pictures.” […]
Mary & Mitch wanted to capture the quiet intimacy of their wedding day. We met an hour before their ceremony to capture just the 2 of them on their special day.
