They incorporated so many unique touches– Curt’s love for hunting is artfully reflected in the men’s boutonnieres, while Ali’s amazing hand-painting and artistic talents were showcased within […]

  I was so blessed to capture the wedding day of Thackery and Kiah on Sunday, October 13.

And that foundation […]

She told me of their long-distance relationship, career moves, house hunting, […]

The purpose of such a meeting is twofold: To determine whether personalities, wedding style, etc. will fit together. You will spend a lot of time with your photographer on your […]

      Wow. What a year it’s been. I can’t say I met all of my goals for 2018, but I did triple my business income, upgrade my website and client management system, invest in two new lenses, and double my wedding bookings, and hit over seven thousand followers on Facebook. That’s nothing to shake […]
