That first look feeling…

The moment the groom sees his bride all done up and in her dress. It’s one of the best moments of the day and I highly recommend having a first look too.

It’s private, it helps steady your nerves, and it’s almost always filled with beautiful emotions.

Here is a collection of some of my favorite “first looks” over the last several years.

To say that this was a dream come true is an understatement!

Amanda and Chris are just the most amazing clients and couple! They are classy, sweet, hilarious, and Chris has some sick dance moves! 😂

The whole time we had together was better than I had planned. The weather a few days before was in the high 80’s and WINDY! The day of, mid 70’s and calm and it was going back up the day after!

The shuttle’s were not jam packed and were a fun experience to have. Literally my first elopement that involved riding on a shuttle/bus.

I tested out the new funky trend of doing the pantyhose over the camera for a few shots and it really did make the photos dreamy!

But I think my favorite part of this whole experience was just seeing how happy Chris and Amanda made each other. They are the perfect combo of both nerdy and attractive. Smart and serious while still being utterly silly. In short, my fav kind of couple! I do sincerely hope that we get to hang again this side of heaven!

But until then, enjoy these heavenly and beautiful photos of their elopement in Zion!

Doing what I WANT to do, algorithm be damned! It’s just after midnight and I’m posting some beachy shots from my elopement in Seabrook! Kookai and Tom are legit performers and do acrobatics with ropes! So you’ll understand just how freaking excited I was when I saw them do that right in front of my camera. In her wedding dress no less too!!

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams.” —Pablo Neruda

Progress Project Pt2

I wanted to share just a little bit more wedding photos from the last decade that I just absolutely adore so much. So many good memories, some crazy ones.

Like how one of my grooms was hung over and puked after the ceremony right before their portraits and I didn’t know and felt so bad for making her kiss him!

Or how I had a cannabis wedding and the only photo I was allowed to share from that day was their wedding brings on a blunt.

I had the most amazing Hawaii wedding where the following day I spent in bed at my airbnb puking my guts out from a migraine.

I loved the wedding I had in Port Townsend that partially was on the couple’s boat!

So many couples…so many laughs, hugs, photos taken, and stories. This job is a dream, even when it has the occasional nightmare moments. I am so thankful I have been apart of your lives.
