A wedding is a significant milestone in anyone's life. It's a day filled with joy, love, and a whole lot of planning. Whether you're a bride-to-be, groom-to-be, or a wedding enthusiast, you'll (hopefully!) find something helpful in this blog.

Though I'm not personally planning a wedding or getting married, I've certainly been to my fair share of weddings as a photographer. So, I've taken what I know about venue hunting, dress shopping, preparing for engagement photos and more in order to aid my future couples. 

You'll also find some personal opinions and experiences, plenty of tips & advice, vendor recommendations, trends and inspiration, and tons of photos of course.

I try to update the blog as often as I can, so come back every so often to check for new work or to explore a new venue with me! And if you have any ideas or suggestions for posts, let me know.
