Gaining the trust of my clients is probably the most important part of the process for me. It’s really the only way to create photos that feel effortless. This wedding day with Edie & Gavin was a bit of a roller coaster, with unexpected illness, pop up thunderstorms, and a couple of other wild cards, but you’d really never know any of that from these photos. They worked through all of it with grace and trusted my lead. The overwhelming feeling at day’s end was unbridled joy. Their reception will be one I won’t ever forget. So much love, pride, and happiness in the room, and I felt so lucky to be the outsider getting to witness it all.
