This is the day everyone remembers.

The flowers.
The dress.
The way he looked at her when she walked down the aisle.

It’s emotional. Beautiful. Electric.

But here’s what I know after 20+ years of photographing weddings…

The wedding day is only Chapter One.

The real magic is what happens after.

(Stay with me.)

Instagram holds attention for 3 seconds.

An album holds attention for 30 years.

This is where the wedding becomes permanent.

Printed.
Designed.
Intentional.

Not 800 files in a cloud.
Not a highlight reel that disappears in 24 hours.

A book you can sit with.
A book you can hand to someone.
A book that lives on your coffee table.

I don’t photograph weddings just for the day.
I design them for the decades after.

One day someone small will sit in your living room and turn these pages.

They’ll ask questions.

“Why are you crying?”
“Why does Dad look nervous?”
“Was that Grandpa?”

They won’t just see a wedding.

They’ll see the beginning of their own story.

This is why I believe in albums.

Because someday your children won’t scroll your wedding —
they’ll hold it.

I’m currently booking a limited number of weddings for this season and 2026.

If legacy matters to you —
let’s create something your future family can open together.

Link in bio.

I’m obsessed with Laura and Andrew’s Reed. I loved that they wished for him and now he’s a fun and smart boy who is so curious about the world. And I love that he sees his parents wedding album in the living room everyday. 💛

A lot of my photographer friends don’t like it when clients play with their images, but as an artist and a collaborator I think it’s super fun.
I hope you have so much fun with the images we create together.

I have no doubt that my mom image of me in the bathroom because she just sprayed my hair and I would soon to be turning cartwheels and the hair wouldn’t last.
I admire her knowing 😂💛.

I didn’t always know I would be a photographer but a part of me always understood hair, make up and wardrobe would be involved.

Let’s capture your story!

I love how @loptica333 signs cards and includes everyone, even Bronco the dog.
So these are the last official images of before they were 5.
It’s fun to choose new locations for different sessions over the years. This colorful urban vibe is definitely one for the books.
Hit me up for your milestones 💛

The questions we get asked the most—answered weekly 🤍 (Week 2)
But this one… is a little deeper.

I’ve been in the bridal industry a long time — long enough to see every kind of wedding morning.
The excitement, the nerves, the family dynamics… and the quiet pressure that can creep in right before a bride steps into the most photographed day of her life.

So here’s my most important bridal makeup tip — the one that will always matter more than trends:

💄 Bridal makeup isn’t about looking “perfect.”
It’s about feeling like YOU.

And here’s the part most brides don’t expect…

✨ The best wedding makeup happens when you stop choosing your look for everyone else.
Not for Pinterest.
Not for what’s “in.”
Not for what someone in the room thinks you should look like.

Because I’ve watched it happen so many times:
A bride comes in thinking she needs heavier, more dramatic makeup…
when what she really wants is to feel effortless, elevated, and confident.

Your makeup should reflect:
• your features
• your comfort level
• your style
• how you want to feel when you see yourself in photos 10 years from now

🤍 Pro tip: When choosing inspiration, pick photos that look like your face — not just your favorite trend.
And if you’re unsure, that’s what trials are for. We build the look together.

Featuring our bride Sarah 🤍 — who just celebrated one year of marriage with her husband, Jake 🥂✨
Their wedding day at Hotel Del Coronado was pure magic.

Bride: @sarah.shepherd6
Coordinator: @museluxuryweddings

• your comfort level
• your style
• how you want to feel when you see yourself in photos 10 years from now

🤍 Pro tip: When choosing inspiration, pick photos that look like your face — not just your favorite trend.
And if you’re unsure, that’s what trials are for. We build the look together.

The questions we get asked the most—answered weekly 🤍 (Week 2)
But this one… is a little deeper.

I’ve been in the bridal industry a long time — long enough to see every kind of wedding morning.
The excitement, the nerves, the family dynamics… and the quiet pressure that can creep in right before a bride steps into the most photographed day of her life.

So here’s my most important bridal makeup tip — the one that will always matter more than trends:

💄 Bridal makeup isn’t about looking “perfect.”
It’s about feeling like YOU.

And here’s the part most brides don’t expect…

✨ The best wedding makeup happens when you stop choosing your look for everyone else.
Not for Pinterest.
Not for what’s “in.”
Not for what someone in the room thinks you should look like.

Because I’ve watched it happen so many times:
A bride comes in thinking she needs heavier, more dramatic makeup…
when what she really wants is to feel effortless, elevated, and confident.

Your makeup should reflect:
• your features
• your comfort level
• your style
• how you want to feel when you see yourself in photos 10 years from now

Unscripted home sessions are where the magic lives.
Pajamas, books, jumping on the bed, and a little human who knows he’s entertaining his mom.
Max was pure personality—and absolutely perfect. 💛
