I am so excited to kick off my wedding photography journey with Andrea and Kevin! We met for the first time quite a long time ago, and we were all on the same page with their wedding vision. Fast forward to this summer – and we are off! We wanted to get both a natural […]

It’s hard to believe, but the graduation photo season is knocking on our door – and I know the preparations are getting started for each senior’s session! I’m excited to get started with this year’s group! I get a lot of questions on how seniors (and their parents) can make this the best experience possible. […]

Successful Wedding Day Photography

I recently had the great pleasure of spending an epic fall afternoon with Alexis and Justin. While it was fun getting to know these two even better before their nuptials next summer – Lew (their puppy) stole the show. He was such a good boy and dare I even say it, smiled for the camera. […]

Extravagant yet organic; Grand yet personal; Joyous yet intimate…. Magical. Before we get to all that, let’s start with the bride and groom.

Jenn (the inside gal) is the Wedding and Banquet Manager while Mark is the Assistant Mountain Manager (the outside guy).
