The places this job has taken me, the people it has introduced me to? I could not possibly begin to express my gratitude in words. Not now. Not in a million lifetimes. But I hope that the art I’m creating is a tiny reflection of the affection I feel for this job and the people who wind up in front of my camera.

Covid changed the world and the way we do weddings. I’m hoping that some of the things that shifted never shift back. Marli and Aaron got married on a windy but gorgeous day at The Kennedy Center with just a handful of family and friends there to bear witness to their union and it was in a word - perfect. They looked chic, relaxed and ridiculously happy to be getting married.

I’m just going to write this for probably the 805th time on this site - but your wedding should be a reflection of you and your person. Nothing more. Nothing less. Do things the way that you want to so that you don’t look back with regret. If this means you get married in your pajamas at an Olive Garden? Cool. If it means 200 people in a barn? That’s amazing too.
