What else do you give away on your birthday besides things you love? And let’s face it, I’m a total girly-girl at my core, so clothes + sunglasses it is!!

  • We are a husband + wife photography team who LOVE marriage, are crazy about one another, + strongly believe in not only providing our couples with beautiful + timeless wedding images, but also encouraging them in their relationship as they journey towards marriage.
  • We love marriage. Did we mention that?! ; ) We like to say that “photography is our profession + marriage is our passion.” We believe so strongly in the power + capabilities shared between a married couple + their commitment to FOREVER together. We just feel the luckiest that our greatest passions in life–marriage + photography–is what we are blessed to call our “job”.

So many marriages seem to fall apart and can be thought of as so cavalier, when really it’s an amazing thing for two people to be joined in.
