Congrats to Liz + Tommy! They had an incredible wedding day with close family and friends. I always appreciate a super fun, easy-going bride, groom and bridal party- I definitely cried from laughing too much at one point. Take a stab at which image provoked the tears 😉 All the support and love throughout the […]

Angela + John met by chance at a church gathering during their teenage years. Angela’s pastor had been John’s previous pastor, so he introduced the two of them without any intention of setting them up. Many years later, with a mutual love for Harry Potter (yesss!), good food, cafes, and a passion for their faith, […]

I remember going the sleep the night before their wedding checking the forecast and thinking I’d wake up to maybe a dusting of snow. Nope. Mother Nature decided to dump 5-6 inches of snow overnight! It was just what Collin wanted for their wedding day, and it was beautiful. There was a serene quiet and […]

Angela + John knew they didn’t want any visual distractions–just a focus on their connection and love. I have to admit, I was nervous when Angela first approached me about her vision to have their engagement session in a studio. I’ve shot engagement sessions in fields, beaches, parks, city streets.. when you need a refresh, […]

Liz + Tommy met each other through Liz’s roommate. Casual conversation led to a first date, though things didn’t go quite as planned. Tommy had scoped out the perfect date spot beforehand and led Liz out to the date location only to find that it had closed down – a guy’s worst first date nightmare! […]

They knew each other since their middle school days, but it wasn’t until their college years that Joe found himself drawn to Venus for her character and sincere faith. Initially, he was met with a hard “No,” but patient and loving persistence paid off. Venus changed her mind after THREE years and found herself saying […]

Several years ago, our church’s Sunday School was looking for a new pastor. At the time, Tammy and I were serving the youth group ministry together. But when the need became clear, she volunteered to teach the Sunday School children on her own. Week in and week out, I watched in awe as she prepared […]

I met Stephanie a couple years ago at her brother’s wedding (my old college friend!). I remember she sang so beautifully during the ceremony—there were tears everywhere. Girl can SING!! And with SO much heart. I was thrilled when she got engaged with Joe several years later and reached out to me to capture their […]

After 12 long years of connecting, moving, losing touch, meeting by chance and finally dating, Christine + Donald are married! I could not be happier for this sweet duo. There was a palpable sense of honor from the moment they saw and cherished each other during the first look (his reaction is one of the […]

Their story is one of persistence, patience, and providence. After meeting each other at a church small group 12 years ago, their paths kept crossing and then missing. Fast forward to 2017 when they finally rekindled their friendship, and shortly after, became engaged! Throughout their engagement session, I could sense their utmost love and respect […]
