Tattoos.
 
I didn’t even have one until I was in my 30’s, and it wasn’t even a midlife crisis.
It just took me that long to figure out what I want. And if that’s not a effing metaphor for my entire existence…

A NOAH’S Event Venue Wedding: Laura and Ulf

As a photographer, you prepare for the moment when a perfect wedding has a hiccup. Okay… but that didn’t happen, even once for Laura and Ulf. Everything was beautiful! Laura put her dress on, and I audibly gasped. THAT incredible. These two know how to throw a heck of a wedding, and I am so happy they picked little ol me to photograph it. It was such a fun day, that I didn’t want to stop. Laura had to make me leave and go home to rest, haha! But look, the dance floor was SO fun. It’s not my fault! 😉 XO

An Elias Fry Barn Wedding: Jessica and Michael

Where should I start? To say that I love this family would be an understatement. We have been together at special occasions, portrait sessions, announcements, etc since the year I opened my business. I have loved watching your family grow and your lives evolve for 7 years, and I can only hope for many more! This couple is love. That sincere, deep and true love. There’s a profound level of respect for one another, and it shows. Jessica and Michael are the real deal. But how could I go any further in my little intro without mentioning Amelia. The beautiful, bright-eyed flower girl, and daughter to the new Mr. and Mrs. Michael Seefeld. I hope you enjoy the photos of this gorgeous September wedding. Thank you to my lovely bestie, and assistant photographer, Courtney Santo. Her images are mixed in below.

A Bartram’s Garden Wedding: Brooke and Stephen

Wow. Okay so a quick backstory: I photographed a wedding in 2014 and there was this totally cute couple there attending as guests. I found myself taking a lot of candids of them BECAUSE they were so sweet together. Fast forward a couple years later, I get an inquiry from that couple. They are getting married and loved the candids so much, they want to hire me for their wedding. CUE TEARS. My pride left immediately and I practically begged them to let me shoot the wedding so I could tell everyone I know this story and cry. (Feeeeelings!)
