Jenni and Kyley’s wedding was 100% awesome. From the incredible energy of the couple, to the lovely little details, their August 28th wedding was picture perfect. Liam and I had a blast with everyone while we photographed their first glance in the Pearl with it’s industrial and urban landscape. The beautiful wedding at Lakeside Garden was ideal with great weather, picturesque landscape and a very happy bride and groom! J&K- Thank you so much for inviting me to document your wedding. It was just as fun and darling as it looks. xo Hope you both heart the sneak peek!

You may remember last year’s event?! It was a ton of fun with lots of laughs and good music and I was honored to be involved. I photographed the New and Blue store for their website, which you can check out at The New and Blue website here. Thanks SO much N&B and can’t wait to join forces again soon! xo

Mei Mei and Lou’s magical and beautiful wedding beneath the stars was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. M+L are so fun, relaxed and in love and they truly infect people with their radiant love and energy. Hawaii is a sacred land that m+l truly respected during their wedding planning. Guests were invited to sleep in outfitted tents and live with little electricity and have an adventure of a weekend, during one of the largest meteor showers this century. Travis and I loved living off of the land and photographing m+l’s surreal wedding with 100% photojournalism. I loved documenting this wedding, this couple and this entire experience. thank you so much for everything and hope you love the preview pics.
