Melanie & Dan’s wedding was a stunning, colorful affair at The Celebration Farm. It was a beautiful combination of their favorite traditions from both Hindu and American ceremonies, a true marriage of their families, upbringings, and lives. I was so honored to photograph their wedding, but even more excited to celebrate with them as they started […]

Almost exactly a year ago, Brooke reached out to me for engagement photos.

Because we had a quiet start to the day, I had plenty of time to photograph all of Anne’s stunning details, which she had made sure to […]

Weddings

The church was quiet when we entered. A faint bustling could be heard in the adjacent halls, but the sanctuary was peacefully void of noise. The girls were hanging out in a nearby room, their dresses hanging up and their bags spilling over with shoes, accessories, and makeup. There were sandwiches and snacks to munch […]
