The Journal

I'm a romantic. I believe in true love and love being true. I believe in the power of Love and the choice of loving. I have always talked a lot about the L-word and thought about it even more. If I didn't, I wouldn't have found myself driving 16 hours home from Raleigh while in a long-distance relationship. Fortunately on that drive I had plenty of time to think about the question that was burning in my mind. I had already realized that I was going to make photography my full time business but I knew it needed the right name. How to find the perfect name for my business?

Cate and Jon met on the beach. He was a lifeguard and she was returning a book to someone else when they started talking. It was then that she took the gamble, but it was August 5th that they made it official. Destiny brought her from her home state of Minnesota to sunny Santa Cruz while Jon grew up in California. I was lucky enough to get to know them both at the beginning of their relationship and never questioned that they were meant for each other!

My heart is so full. I just got home from photographing the wedding of a dear friend Toby and his fiancee from Germany. This wedding ignited my passion for weddings even more. It was a simple and intimate ceremony but set in a gorgeous location surrounded by friends and family.

Gedney Farm is where wedding dreams come true. I know because this was my dream since I was six. I went to a ceremony at Gedney farms and bathed in the golden light of a berkshire evening while learning to dance at my very first wedding. I felt tears when the bride walked down the aisle to the famous hillside tree towards her fiance and it was then that I gained an understanding of how significant a union is.

Aurelie and James met in high school and have been together ever since! They both went to the same private school in the Berkshires and after 12 years of being together, they returned to the county where they met to get married. They were reminded of their long courtship throughout the wedding day and had many laughs about it.
