Throwback to one of the most wonderful weddings I've ever had the privilege of photographing. I've known this couple for a long time even before getting to capture their special day, as I had the enormous pleasure of working with Corey's beautiful Mama in the trenches of ACT Health as an Art Therapist at the Mental Health Unit there.
And what a time we had! I can honestly say it was one of the best jobs I've had in my life and I miss it frequently! The hour and 45 minute each way commute not so much, but our team was sooooo good! And getting to support people through their most challenging moments is a truly humbling privilege.
And then as luck would have it i got to know Jodi's family, transitioned into the photog world and was privileged to get to photograph two stunning souls sharing their love with some of the coolest people i know. Mahalia Stanley and Corey i don't know if you know this but you and your wedding was a bit of a tipping point for me. I was falling more and more in love with photography and contemplating the journey forward...and as you can see, all these years later here I am, still photographing souls and loving it!!
P.s. also how awesome was the casual upgrade on venue room on the day! What a wedding gift! Haha!
