Jenni and Kyley's wedding was 100% awesome. From the incredible energy of the couple, to the lovely little details, their August 28th wedding was picture perfect. Liam and I had a blast with everyone while we photographed their first glance in the Pearl with it's industrial and urban landscape. The beautiful wedding at Lakeside Garden was ideal with great weather, picturesque landscape and a very happy bride and groom! J&K- Thank you so much for inviting me to document your wedding. It was just as fun and darling as it looks. xo Hope you both heart the sneak peek!

Callie and Sean make a great team. With a passion for life, love, the city and nature, this incredible couple said their I Do's in late August. The juxtaposition between the urban landscape and the natural elements made for some great pics and I absolutely love photographing the Historic Union Station, which is also where my studio and office is located! Hope you love the sneak peek C+S and I wish you both lifetimes of happiness!

Mei Mei and Lou's magical and beautiful wedding beneath the stars was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. M+L are so fun, relaxed and in love and they truly infect people with their radiant love and energy. Hawaii is a sacred land that m+l truly respected during their wedding planning. Guests were invited to sleep in outfitted tents and live with little electricity and have an adventure of a weekend, during one of the largest meteor showers this century. Travis and I loved living off of the land and photographing m+l's surreal wedding with 100% photojournalism. I loved documenting this wedding, this couple and this entire experience. thank you so much for everything and hope you love the preview pics.

This wedding was incredible. Kim and Brian planned for a relaxed, yet elegant wedding with plenty of scenic vistas, delicious food, live music and beautiful stars. With a variety of local wildflowers and a nature-inspired palette of blues and orange, this was just as fun to photograph as it looks. Kim and Brian have a fun blog where they document and write about their adventures together, it can be found here and it's cute, (and so are they!)

Travis and I documented this wedding together and it was dreamy. I hope you love the sneak peek K&B!
