first, a few lovely words from the bride...

"You are so dope and I love you for capturing these moments for me...I'm really big on memories and you do and did an amazing job...you will forever be my go-to"

"You've really outdone yourself for real...and was so easy to work with...you're stuck as our family photographer"

This wedding marked the culmination of a journey that began in high school, evolved through building a life together, and faced a temporary setback due to the pandemic. The shared joy was palpable as the couple finally exchanged their vows, overcoming the chaos that can accompany a large family and wedding party. Despite the challenges, my ability to adapt ensured that the couple experienced happiness at every turn, and I'm so excited to showcase the highlights of this enchanting celebration of love.
