I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I’ve blogged. I’m sorry I’ve been MIA. I have been ridiculously busy with a few boudoir sessions the past couple of months but due to the nature of the sessions I won’t be posting them on the blog for privacy reasons of course. Trust me, they’re absolutely gorgeous though and I’ve had some great feedback from them… from both the clients and their husbands.![]()
Regardless, this lapse in blog posts is worth the wait. This past weekend the adorable, bubbly Padao and her wonderful groom, Justin, got married. I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for a while now. Padao and I have had some lengthy conversation via e-mail about relationships and the wedding and I absolutely could not wait to see this amazing pair get married. Their families and friends were… unbelievable. I don’t think anyone left that night without shedding a tear. I admit, even I had moments where I had to catch my breath because the emotions were so strong that night. It was so evident how much love their family and friends had for them both and how incredibly happy they were that finally, these two, after 5 years of long distance dating, were going to be together.
Padao + Justin, I can’t thank you enough for inviting me into your life and allowing Sarah and I to be a part of your beautiful wedding. I love that my job gives me a chance to make such wonderful friends as you two! Padao, I’ll be waiting to hear from you about that Trash the Dress session.![]()
And many, many thanks to Sarah Whitmeyer for her help with this wedding. As always, I enjoy our time together… and I always love seeing how well our different shooting styles mesh.


And this is why I absolutely love it when my clients want to do a first look. Nothing compares to this moment…



How can you not love this bridal party? They’re gorgeous and hilarious!

I loved the outtake on the right. What else would a kid do when the parents are making out?
