Faith & Henry's wedding was stunning although what made it unforgettable was how seamlessly every vendor worked together!
Here's what couples don't realize when booking vendors: You're not just hiring people to do a job. You're building a team that either protects your wedding day or slowly chips away at it.

The best weddings that I've photographed? Every vendor was in sync and the timeline had extra room to breathe.

The most stressful ones? Pulling weight for an inexperienced vendor (the one that you got because they were $200 less) and an overloaded timeline. These can take professional vendors away from creating the perfect wedding day for you.

Choose experienced vendors who collaborate and understand a timeline. It really changes everything about your wedding day! And CHEERS to this amazing team:

Some details aren’t decoration, they carry history!! 87 years of history to be exact! Carlouel’s annual Sasparilla is one of those traditions generations look forward to year after year, layered with ritual, humor, celebration, and legacy. From the crowning of the king and queen to the thoughtful touches that set the stage, every detail felt both playful & traditional!

Since the celebration itself is intentionally private for their members, I'm sharing only the details that helped create such a beautiful event! Also a little mention...Wildhearts Photo Booth and Howdy Hunny Events who created some truly memorable experiences for the guests!

Elopements feel different, and there is something incredibly special about a wedding that allows you to fully be present with each other… to slow down, breathe it all in, and focus on what truly matters, the two of you and the commitment you’re making to each other. 🩷

There’s something special about getting ready at home for your wedding.

No rushing…just a calm, steady kind of excitement as everything begins to unfold.

Familiar spaces.
The people who know you best.
A moment to actually take it all in.

And how gorgeous is Nikki?! She’s just as beautiful inside too 🩷. I have many more images from this amazing wedding coming soon!

This wonderful couple said “I do” at our hidden gem in Dunedin…the historic Andrews Memorial Chapel in Dunedin! They were surrounded by just 8 of their closest friends and family — and their beloved pup Lexi, who proudly took part in the ceremony by walking down the aisle with her mom 🐾

Their wedding was proof that love doesn’t follow a timeline. Joy can come at any time of your life — with just the right person by your side and feel absolutely perfect when it does. 🤍

Sunset, soft skies, and a whole lot of love 🌿✨

We wandered around Honeymoon Island with this beautiful couple (and their sweet pup Risotto 🐶) to celebrate the upcoming arrival of their baby this June. The light was golden, the breeze was gentle, and the moments we captured were full of joy, anticipation, and that unmistakable glow of a growing family.

From a green dress to sandy snuggles and golden hour kisses, this session had it all — including a very proud soon-to-be big sibling on four legs 🐾💛

She thought they were celebrating his birthday… but he had something a little more magical in mind. ✨💍
With help from the incredible team at Fenway Hotel, Autograph Collection, he planned every detail—champagne and charcuterie waiting on the lawn, a golden rooftop view, and a sunset walk by the water where he dropped to one knee and asked her to spend forever with him.

She said yes. 🥂 And the surprise, the emotion, the joy—it was unforgettable.

Capturing moments like this is such an honor. If you’re planning a proposal, surprise event, or just want to make sure your big moment is remembered forever, I’d love to help you tell your story.
