I love beach weddings. The feel of the warm sand wrapping around my feet is like a little treat for myself as I document the wedding. I hold back the smile that is secretly trying to get out...as if I can't be totally happy while working. I really should let that smile show. How can I explain it.......It's like doing the thing I love most (photography) while being at my favorite place (the beach.) It's the best.

I packed specific clothes for Michelle and Paul's weddings. Since it was a beach wedding I brought my sparkly sandles...so I could feel the sand slip between my toes. A very strategic choice. And I brought my bonfire clothes. Just in case the guests were willing to brave the mist.
Michelle and Paul's wedding was everything I could want in a beach wedding. I sat in the bridal suite shooting Michelle's gown as I looked out at the water, the beach and then toward Eddie shooting the groomsmen on the rocks. I realized that I was really happy. I really love what I do. I feel blessed everyday that this is my life. I have a husband who is amazing to me. And I can share my creative world with him. He embraces my hair brain ideas and runs with them....that's a first!!! And then I look at Michelle and Paul and see how in love they are. It's really great to be able to share in their day. A day where they vow to be by each others sides forever. They are a beautiful couple who know how to laugh together and cry together as life comes at them.

To Michelle and Paul, thank you for blessing us with an incredible day! I had so many moments where you guys reminded me of Eddie and I. Congratulations and thank you!



This bible has been passed through the family and held in the hands of every bride. It was so precious.

I love tan suits. It looks so classy.
