Here’s a set of my favorite images from Judy and Alex’s wedding at The DeBruce in New York.

I’m so grateful for the referral because I immediately connected with Judy and Alex….
I had such a wonderful time with my family in New York City in June. We took a road trip and made a few stops along the way before heading up to shoot a wedding a few hours northwest of NYC. I’m sure those who are familiar with my photography know that my favorite type…

I had the privilege of attending Virginia and Fischer’s beautiful wedding ceremony, which took place at their cozy home in Georgetown, South Carolina.

We had such a blast at The Retreat at Balcones Springs with Mia, Brett, and their fantastic family and friends! It was a long weekend filled with so many memorable moments, or what I like to call in-between moments. I loved hearing how Mia and Brett met at a hat shop on South Congress in…

A pithi ceremony is a joyous, lively, and lighthearted occasion in which family members and friends bless the couple with good wishes. In modern times, the “dirty pithi” is a fun spin where the groom’s…
Sarah and Derek’s wedding was at the historic and ornate San Fernando Cathedral, and the wedding reception followed at The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas. Yes, it did rain. Hard. But not until the evening. And it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day! I know it’s true as I read it…
