I love a good late night flat lay. So fun pulling

I love a good late night flat lay. So fun pulling together while we wait for the dance floor to fire up. 🪩 In this shot, most of the details were in place as seen here. I added the rings, invitation, and flipped the fork. I love how the bride’s phone was already sitting there with the date and time illuminated👌

This trend became a welcomed request this season. What do you think? Do you have a preference for more traditional detail shots pre ceremony, late night, or both?

Trust is the foundation of a great engagement sess

Trust is the foundation of a great engagement session. When couples trust their photographer, it creates a space where they can truly relax, be themselves, and connect authentically with each other. It allows the focus to shift away from the camera and onto the emotion, moments, and chemistry that make a relationship unique.

As your photographer, building trust means creating an experience where you feel valued, listened to, and cared for. The result is natural, heartfelt images that reflect who you are and the love you share.
Celina and Alex were up for anything, but most importantly they trusted me and the process. I love how their collection of images reflects this. C + A thanks for leaning to into your vulnerability allowing the space to create these photos. 🫶
