Black and white images. I know there are photographers who deliver every photo they take in both color and black and white. There are also photographers who love that contrast so much they mostly deliver black and white.

But me? I want to hand pick what I think speaks to me in black and white... and two things tend to emerge. First is texture - I love images that have layers and stories and that make your eyes wander around the frame...not being able to take it all in at one glance. They're harder to achieve but so satisfying to my storytelling heart. The second is emotion. Black and white images strip away any distraction and just slam you right into how someone is feeling in that second. I never get tired of deciding which precious handful get my attention in black and white. I'm always tweaking and layering and pushing and pulling highlights and shadows.

So when you see one of my images in black and white? I'm trying to tell you something. 🖤

When I think about this day - I think about all the moments that were filled with love and not hate. That no matter what, no matter how hard things get - love is what matters. -photo credit unknown

When your day starts with a photo session on private property on a mountaintop you know it's not a typical day. I couldn't breathe it was so beautiful! 🗻

The best part of releasing your wedding video is getting to relive it with all your friends and family! ❤️❤️❤️ There's so many more responses and each and everyone is treasured. J and I spent yesterday reading each other the things everyone said to us!

One. Year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogsOLeQ0ZWY&feature=youtu.be

I didn't do a good job last year of really talking about our wedding. I was too overwhelmed by HOW AMAZING it was being surrounded and supported by our family and friends. I was emotional over marrying this man that was truly one of the human beings to really KNOW me. And I just…wanted to soak it all in. How much everyone helped us. How amazing everything went together. How kind and incredible our vendors were.

We will never be the same. Each person gave us a little piece of themselves (and sometimes big giant pieces) to help us celebrate how much we love each other. J and I, one full revolution around the sun, still find ourselves steeped in gratitude and awe. This happened. We found each other. We love each other.

Sullivan Slentz put together our wedding video — and this five minutes has become so precious to us. I have watched it and cried and watched it and cried. So amazing.

Thank you to ALL of you. From the bottom of our hearts. We really want to be the people known for kindness and generosity — and through planning our wedding — we learned SO many lessons about what being loved means — that we will be better, kinder, bigger hearted and snarkier (because come on. Swales. lol), If you watch the wedding video (link in profile)— you’ll see how I feel on the inside. Which is rare. I love this man so much. I love his family so much. And he loves me and mine. isn’t that CRAZY??

Here’s the list of people we cannot live without who helped us SO much. If you have a chance to interact with any of them — know we selected them with great thought and we cannot recommend each and every single one of them ENOUGH.

Some days. Are just like...ok. That happened. People never stop surprising me!

Give me stone steps. Give me siblings who love each other and fight madly. Give me a perfect afternoon after pouring rain. Give me a secret garden that’s green and deep and colorful. Give me families who think they probably should do photos but don’t know what they want. Give me spontaneity and Star Wars light sabers and hula hoops. @ Rochester, New York

Give me entrepreneurs. Risk takers. People who aren't afraid to talk about the hard stuff. Inspiring people. Life-Inspirerers. Game-Changers. Big-Thinkers. of has spent a decade helping people navigate tricky situations with fearlessness and gratitude. When it was time for her ten year celebration I was thrilled she reached out to me! She creates a monthly subscription magazine that just blows my mind every month! @ Rochester, New York

Give me the person you waited for and who showed up when you least expected them. Give me blended families. Give me love that starts with a card game. Give me cold sunsets and couples brave enough to shiver when the light is yummy. Give me families that glow when they look at you and cry when they SEE you. Give me room to play when there's pets and cool stuff laying around. Give me pretty locations and tiny spaces that ooze charm. Give me those moments when I disappear and only the two of you remain in the world. @ The Rabbit Room Honeoye Falls

There should be more glasshouses for events in the world. @ Glass House Winery
