Weddings

To say I was excited for this wedding is an understatement. Joelle and Jeffrey are truly some of the kindest people I’ve ever most. I had first met Joelle’s sister, Jane, when she was in a wedding I photographed several years ago (hi, Mallory & Alex!) and I was so honored when Joelle reached out […]

Weddings

Though my first wedding of the year was technically back in January, Lindsey & Jeremy’s wedding this past weekend kicked off my busy wedding season.
