37 Weddings

37. That's the number of weddings I've photographed over the last 9 years. 37 couples first kiss. 37 parties. 37 first dances. Once in a lifetime moments for 37 couples. Crazy!

Its funny to me because the very first reception...not even a full wedding day, mind you, I was TERRIFIED. I actually swore I'd NEVER cover another wedding again. I was then asked by a family friend to photograph her wedding...I resisted...but I did it scared, and boy did I learn ALOT that day.

Something in me changed after that. I no longer saw weddings as this terrifying thing. I saw them as a challenge. I was then DETERMINED to not only nail the photography aspect of the day (kinda important) BUT, what I really wanted was to help curate the best day possible for my couples. I threw myself into trainings and workshops and youtube videos. I created a system that helped the wedding day go smoother for everyone, not just for the couple but me too. A big part of preparing for your wedding day starts with having a plan and trusting someone (me!) to follow it through! I love working with couples and offering all my tips and tricks for getting all their dream images during their day WITHOUT stressing anyone out.

I absolutely love photographing weddings now! I've yet to make it through one without tearing up. I do find it hard to resist a dance floor, even though my knees say no. I meet the BEST couples with the most amazing friends and family, and I get to do what I love while having fun!

Now, weddings do still come with their challenges. Weather is not always on our side. Life happens and things don't always go as planned. But a wedding still happens, a marriage still begins, and we still get to party! AND...no matter what, you get beautiful images of your day, however it unfolds! And I truly love every bit of that for you.
