HOME IS WHERE YOU ARE 🤍 I truly love the bond Josh and Makayla have with each other because like each and every one of us, we hope and pray for that person that will become our partner in life, the love we’ve prayed for, but most importantly a home that one another’s souls can find sanctuary in. The safest of places in each other’s hearts.

There is nothing more beautiful or special than bearing witness to that and with my couples’ session that typically happens away from the wedding noise, after the vows have been said, that first kiss happens, I strive to freeze lightning in a bottle that is the love two people share for one another!

And if I can capture what the universe has brought together with my camera, I feel that I have done my job, not only for two souls, but for the generations to come who will come to treasure their love story with these photographs. ✨💕🏡 💍✨⁣⁣⁣⁣

THAT FIRST LOOK THO | One of the most sacred moments to me is when my couples get to see each other for the very first time at the aisle.

No two reactions are ever the same and you can never prepare for it, because in that very moment your fairytale is starting as you take each step towards one another and begin saying your vows.

Seriously one of my favorite parts of the day, because it’s such a candid, beautiful, priceless, sacred moment. 💒 💍⁣

LET SPARKS FLY! 🔥🌴💍✨ My awesome couple that married in Negril, Jamaica, this year had one of the best weddings I’ve ever captured. This was their sparkler send-off on the beach and I can't wait to share more from this day! 🥰Nicole and Ryan's wedding in beautiful Negril, Jamaica, was a dream to capture! Every moment was pure magic, from the golden sunsets to the joy-filled celebrations. Here's to love, adventure, and unforgettable memories in paradise! More images to come, but here is just one of over 2000 photos from this fabulous wedding weekend!

Either in a church or climbing a mountain or venturing off into the woods - Let's make it an all day adventure session to tell the story of just you two! I'd love to hear all about it! Overseas elopement? No problem! I'm passport ready! I'll help you plan your day out!

Telling the story of these two wonderful souls has been a huge blessing to me. More to come but this is something I created to add more magic to their day. I truly feel a huge honor to have been given the gift to truly SEE and capture what happens on a wedding day (which is such a sacred day) and freeze those moments that fade in the blink of an eye.

I never take moments like this lightly and I’m so so excited to share this and all of the weddings I have to come with you.

Wishing you all a love that finds you, enters your heart and ignites your soul and stays with you for eternity to burn bright beside you in this world. 💕🙏🏻💕

T W I N F L A M E S 💫 When you get super lucky the day before your wedding and find not one but 3 starfish. Nicole and Ryan found these two starfish together the day before their wedding and this was so sweet because Nicole studied Marine Biology. Just a little blessing from the ocean sending these two lovely people their well wishes. ⭐️💫✨ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣One thing I love about destination weddings is that they are so different from a normal one day wedding. You get to do multiple shoots on multiple days with me and take home a ton of new memories! With Ryan and Nicole, we did a wonderful sunrise session in Negril and got to see a lot of marine life while doing so. Now come not so great - those pesky jellyfish that sting - but hey, no pain, no gain! Always take a chance with me and I promise you’ll get great photography and laughs! 🐙⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
