The intimacy of a first dance is something I will never get over. These two were a dream to work with and we adored them but then add in the element of smoky glow and it’s just chefs kiss.

Who needs a man to drive you to your wedding day? Not this gal! Hopping into the classic car before her valet could, this bride was feeling herself on the big day.

Hidden gardens, magical places. From the Tuscan inspired trees to the barely blooming lilacs this moment was absolutely priceless.

Eloping in Utah in winter is always a good idea :)

The cold had nothing on these two lovebirds and I'm so glad they entrusted me with their day

I met Amy and Andrew by chance. We both ended up at a Cirque D' Soleil show and they looked so lovely in their outfits that I approached them on a whim and asked if they would model for me the next evening. We met outside of their hotel and had the best time just playing around on the strip. From strangers to friends!

I had learned a new lighting technique and so for this shoot I was able to practice with my friends. Focusing on the details of the dress on a sunny day was something that mattered to Melinda so I really wanted to show up for them. I'm so happy with the results.
