6 hour wedding last night (ending at 11:45pm) & pizza for breakfast. Life is good.

Yes, but...

"Can I get the raws?" Is a question I don't get often, and it's something I don't chat about a lot either.

I know how to manipulate my imagery to be what I want it to be and what my clients expect.

My fun little take on this trend. πŸ’•

She said yes to forever! πŸ’

Jordan's proposal to Kate was such a sweet process to see through until the end.

As always, I'm honored to be there to document your special days.

Part 1 - The First Look

Before they held hands and walked into the City of Norfolk Courthouse to say their I Do's, Christian and Adwoa took the time to do a first look. The look on Christian's face when he saw his soon-to-be wife was PRICELESS!

Listen... I'm all for an extravagant wedding.

The decor, the grand entrance, the playlists, dancing, cake, all the glitter.

But what I love equally are moments like these.

Mitch trusted me to capture their incredibly intimate beach elopement, where I was 1 of 5 people present.

Just us, my camera, and the waves.

30 minutes to declare never ending love and devotion to one another.

I hope each and every one of you know how much it truly means to be even considered as your photographer.

This is more than a job.

Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were before we realised
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
It was just like a movie, it was just like a song

When we were young.

Happy 25th birthday to my twin flame. πŸ”₯
