    Amy in a Moment of Peace

    Amy in a Moment of Peace

    The pace of a wedding day is really quite surreal. There is so much going and so many details to attend to that these moments of quiet are so very powerful. Others in the room were attending to the details and Amy caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and saw herself in her veil. For that one moment everything in the world stopped for her and it took her breath away.

    I really love what I do. Being a part of these moments and saving them to share for generations is such a high calling for me as a photographer.

    Amy and Darren Wedding Rehearsal

    An old friend plays a very special song for Amy and Darren during the wedding rehearsal. Being a part of the rehearsal gives me access to moments and experiences missed by so many others.

    Lori's Final Preparations

    Lori and her maid of honor are making their final touches under her mother’s watchful eye just moments before walking down the aisle.

    I love the sense of surprise that can be created in images by finding a new angle or a different way of looking at things. Often times I will start creating an image in a traditional way and then begin looking for new ways to see and experience the moment in a new way that captures a different sense of the emotions at work.

    John and Jennifer

    Posted in: Weddings

    John and Jennifer are such an amazing couple. I am really to have been a part of their wedding. They had a fantastic blend between the depth of their faith and the celebration with friends and family. The day was filled with dancing and laughing and so many memories.

    The Florida Aquarium is the perfect backdrop for their reception. Not only is it a beautiful venue, but the staff is amazing. They make every detail shine. It is one of my favorite venues.

    Here are a few of my favorite images from the wedding and the rehearsal. Enjoy!

    I love this portrait of Katherine. She is such a beautiful bride and there is just a simple elegance with everything about her. Being a part of her wedding was such a blessing to me. As an artist I truly love the idea that Katherine will be telling the story of her wedding to her grandchildren using the images we created in her album.
