My friend Tim is an amazing person. I have known him for several years. And every time I see him I see something that is rare these days: True Kindness. Tim is one of those guys who was willing to wait for the right girl - even if that meant a long time. That really inspired me...especially when he found the girl of his dreams. Enter Andrea. Andrea is one of the most fabulous women I have ever met. She is funny. She is smart. She is sophisticated. And need I mention - completely gorgeous. I was so very excited to photograph their wedding on May 30th - at the stunning Lodge at Cordillera.

She is vibrant and expressive. He is quite and tempered. Friends in High School, Ronnie sought Michelle out for years. But Michelle had big dreams - like heading to Med School. It took 5 years of waiting for Ronnie to capture the girl of his dreams, but it was worth the wait. This couple is incredible and will undoubtedly have many adventures together.

Joelle is one of the most adorable women I have ever known - and I have known her for the last 10 years. She is one of the sweetest brides I have ever photographed - and endearing. She told me that it was her dream that I would photograph her wedding. And truly she was all about others on her wedding day. Joe and Joelle are an adorable couple and it was a lovely, inspiring, fun time to photograph their wedding.

3 weeks before their wedding date, Linda called me. She told me a story. Her photographer who had been previously booked called her at the last minute and cancelled the date on her. 3 weeks before the wedding, Linda and Bao had no photographer. Linda had seen my work at her friend Thao's wedding last year. And she knew if I was available, she would enjoy my work for her too. Boa and Linda were an adorable couple whose familiarity and heart of care for one another was profoundly precious.

I have never photographed a wedding that displays such adoring love than the wedding of Daniel and Mary. This is a couple who genuinely love their family, their friends, and one another with a quiet passion that I have rarely seen before. Theirs is a Love Story that I can only hope for. And I know it will last forever.

Among my most favorite of love stories are those in which the bride and groom have known each other their entire lives. I love visualizing that moment when "all of a sudden", that love happens and is realized in a different way. This is the love story that Cheryl and Jordan have with one another. Their wedding day was set against the stage of a gorgeous Puget Sound sunset, and their truest family and friends. I absolutely wish them all of the best.

A very special few couples enjoy the discovery of a soulmate whose tastes, desires, directions, and dreams are inseparably similar. These few individuals experience more than romance or friendship; they experience a camaraderie that will stand the test of time and challenges. Aaron and Rachel are this such a couple. Their day was full of world Traditions. Colorful bridesmaids. Exuberant groomsman. Bird cage veils. Vintage jackets. Laughter. Embraces. Deep bonds. Aaron and Rachel are a couple I dream of being able to imitate. And I am so grateful to call them among the truest of friends.

It just happened to be a cold and foggy day in St. Louis when Cheryl and Jordan met up with me for engagement portraits. To give us extra light, my sister Ashley came along to hold flashes. If nothing else, St. Louis is an awesome town for engagement portraits. Next to churches, beneath arches, in groves of trees, framed under bridges. I think you will agree with me that these are among the most romantic of engagement portraits you've seen thus far. And a couple who is both dynamic, charming, beautiful, and world changing. Congratulations to Jordan and Cheryl.

On Amber and Hunter's wedding day, we spent 11 hours together on a hilltop near Richmond, VA. The fall colors laid a palette for priceless images and memories forever; the support of the friends and family who attended was overwhelming and completely joyous. Never has there been a more adventurous wedding day! Filled with laughter and tears, color and life, tenderness and heart. The unexpected moments are those that will be remembered forever. I am so honored and humbled to be able to preserve the memories of their love story.

On the day we celebrated Sebastian and Aimee's wedding, an unbelievable storm was shaping up in the sky. Set above the scape of the Mountains behind were clouds of every shade between grey and black imaginable. Of course, I could not complain. The beautiful scene was perfect for our work. After about an hour into portraits, the storm unleashed its fury. We had been watching the sky closely and knowing that it would storm soon, we worked the wedding party shots quickly and efficiently. Just as our last group shot finished, it began to rain. At sunset, Sebastian and Aimee were wed before God and their 400 witnesses.

One of the most classy weddings I've photographed to date, this Toledo event was completely fantastic. Benjamin and Jennifer have a style and originality unlike anyone I've ever met, and it was such an honor to be with them on their wedding day. Photographing a Wedding Photographers wedding held a little more pressure than most, but Benjamin and Jennifer and their beautiful families made this day a fabulous and memorable event.
