It’s the little moments that make the biggest impact.❤️

Some quiet, some loud, some private, some crowded. All these small moments are truly what make a wedding day special. ☺️

Congratulations Jenny & John!

And they called it, Puppy Love! ❤️ 🐶

Winston and Augie showed up in their finest tuxedos to watch their hoomans get married this past Saturday at the University of Notre Dame.

They are happy to report that the day was perfect! Great weather, good sniffs and plenty of delicious treats (and some for the hoomans as well). 😉

Congratulations Obert family of 4! 🤵🏻👰🏼🐶🐕‍🦺

HOT TAKE: Photos are just better in Black-N-White 📸

You know I’m right, lol! The moments are felt on a deeper level. The portraits are more intimate, the details are more impactful and the big moments become even that more EPIC!

No matter how beautiful the color, Black-N-White will always win for this girlie!

Do you agree? Comment 🖤🤍 if yes!

And of course, a BIG congratulations to Mr & Mrs Sheehan! Today is their reveal day! 🍾

I am here for the giggle vibes! 🙂

Olivia and Brendan brought the smiles for their gorgeous wedding day on Notre Dame’s beautiful campus.

There was no matter of cold (and snow for that matter) that could keep these two from beaming from ear to ear.

I even caught myself several times during the day just smiling as big as I could because their affection for one another was contagious.

Congrats Dr & Dr Navarro, I was honored to capture your story. ❤️

Comment which smile photo is your favorite?

When 2026 hits differently…

We are starting off a new wedding year with the Sheehan clan and couldn’t be more excited to share their story!

This year we are prioritizing storytelling and the movement of the day. More artful images that truly show how the day unfolds.

Classic moments, of course, but with more intention on how we got to each moment.

I’m super excited but also a little nervous but I think that’s crucial to giving each couple an authentic representation of their day.

So raise those paws and let’s get the 2026 party started! 🎉

P.s. Sending and all the love on their big day! I was honored to be apart of it! ❤️

Let’s hear it for the veil! 👰🏻‍♀️

If you know me, you know I LIVE for veil photos! The longer the veil, the closer to God. 😉

Some of my favorite photos incorporate the veil in some way. Sometimes it was for a big, dramatic swoop, others were during quiet moments between the couple, some were during bridal portraits, and one in particular happened when a flower girl decided to use the veil as a hiding place. 😍

So I decided to show off my TOP 20 veil moments of my career. Honestly there are so many more but instagram only lets me do 20, lol!

Which veil moment is your favorite?

Kick off those Jimmy Choo’s for your own private party!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brides - When you go upstairs to change into your party dress, grab your partner (and photographer too) for some hilarious photo shenanigans.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy a few minutes just the two of you, in your suite, where you can take off those heels, catch your breath and change into your killer party look.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For even more fun, grab some bubbly and a bite from the late night snack cart and enjoy 10, uninterrupted minutes with your partner and some really good food.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pro tip - Pre plan this getaway with your photographer so you’re only off the dance floor for 10 minutes and your photographer hasn’t left for the night.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll love these silly moments together and be so happy you got photos of it!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also checkout our new SENIOR page on our website! It covers everything you’ll need to know about the session and booking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Top 3 things to consider when hiring a wedding photographer 📷

1. Do you ❤️ the photos?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you need to LOVE the photos you’re seeing NOW instead of hoping they’ll get better in the future. Do you love their editing style? Their lighting choices? Overall quality? Did you look through a full wedding day gallery (not just an IG post) and feel comfortable that this photographer will be able to capture what you need.

2. Does the cost fall within a comfortable price range for you? 💰
You should never overspend on your wedding but you should also know that you’ll need to be okay with a range of costs vs a strict budget. Can you swing up slightly to get your dream photographer? Can they provide you everything you want and need within that range? Engagement session, rehearsal coverage, travel, etc… Whatever items are must-haves for you, is the price reasonable for you to have it all?

3. Lastly, it’s all about the vibes! 😎
Do you want to hang out with this person for 12 hours? Are you comfortable around them? Do you share the same vision on what those most important moments are for you? You don’t need to be best friends but you need to feel comfortable around them so you can lose yourself in the moments of your day.

So, how did I do? Did I miss any? Comment below what other crucial aspects to consider when hiring your wedding photographer.

Toasting the Taelmans 🥂

Their closest friends and family partied to the wee hours while rocked out. 🎸

Not a bad way to welcome 2026! 🍾

Congratulations Taelmans! It was an honor bringing in the new year with you! ❤️
