I've started to notice a pattern. With each weekend, I capture another couple: a distinctive day, complete with its own unique story. And yet, I find myself saying over and over again: "This has to be my sweetest couple. They are the bee's knees! How do these people find me?" And each time, corny as it sounds, it's true.

Though it's been nearly six months since Shayne & Ryan's wedding, my heart still does backflips when viewing their images.

They appreciate my love for nature, creative close-ups, & natural (albeit goofball) interactions. They are totally on-board to get silly, love each other up, & create gorgeous images together.

Ann & Teddy reached out to me about capturing their wedding day just a few weeks beforehand. I was peached-as-punch to capture their ceremony, which was simple, sweet & very intimate.
