Editorial Wedding Photographer
Its fun to look back over the years and review the many lovely weddings I’ve photographed. It took me two whole days of sitting down at my computer to sift through the images. Looking back through these photos, I feel so grateful all over again for all of these wonderful memories.
Something super noteworthy about these past few year was the RAIN. It seems like it rained almost every weekend for a stretch. Luckily, I LOVE rain.. and fog…and any sort of windy, moody weather (I’m originally from Chicago after all!). So I was just fine and dandy. I want to send a big thanks to all my couples who are literally willing to dance in the rain with me.
The past few years took me to many beautiful destinations. While I most frequently photograph in Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Virginia and North Carolina, I’ve enjoyed some other new places as well. Recently, I returned to the Methow Valley just beyond the North Cascades National Park in Washington state. In the summer I took a visit to the Pictured Rocks National Seashore in the Michigan Upper Peninsula.
At every wedding, my main inspiration is to capture images that are authentic, dynamic, fashionable, and sensual in a way that allows my couples to FEEL all the feels as they look back on these photos every year that they celebrate a new anniversary together. I hope that you can feel all the love, happiness, peace, rain, sunshine, and glamour that was present there as I took these photos.
Thanks again to all of my couples for entrusting me to capture these memories and for making it possible for me to have a job that allows me to use my creativity while also allowing me to enjoy nature, sing along on the dance floor, and eat mashed potatoes.
