I loooove my clients soooo sooo much! By the end of a wedding day, I feel like im more of a guest than a vendor. Mostly because of the sentimental feeling I get when I watch each of my couples say, “I do.”
I didn’t think that I would be like that, but I get so invested in their story, what they have gone through, and how happy they make each other. I can’t help but get at least a little choked up! (With happy tears of course🥰)
That is why I love creating their ALBUMS. Part of the story is in the photographs, but the other half is in the placement, crops, design flow, and how each image compliments one another. I love making it as easy as possible for them to enjoy their wedding day images. Plus we can incorporate your newlywed names, quotes, or Bible Verses like I did for this client!
So im feeling all the feelings when I design your wedding albums because I just love you guys so much! What will your album say? Let me know in the comments below 👇

One of the best parts about being a photographer is having the opportunity to sit down with you and listen to your story. Who you are, where you started, what you have acheived, who you love, and what your goals are, these are all the things I need to know to create a collection of images that will showcase your personality. I want you to LOVE your images and feel confident and excited about them. So tell me, what story will your collection tell?
