What's weird about Dom and Reagan is that they met in person. Yeah, you heard me right, in the flesh and blood. They met at work, and while their friendship started there, it grew into so much more. They both love hiking and of course, their amazing dog. They love helping others, and being in the outdoors. They are kind, easy to talk to, and quick to laugh at a good joke. It’s all these little things that caused each of them to fall for the other. First friends, soon forever
Read MoreI’ve really enjoyed talking with both Cody and Lauryn since I met them. Their engagement session was so much fun, and it became clear to me these two amazing people are easy to get along with, easy to talk to. This extended to their friends and family - one of my favorite parts of any wedding is getting to meet a couples friends and family - they were all kind, thoughtful and so much fun. I loved watching them dance, laugh, and care for those around them. This wedding, was a blast, and I think it shows in the photos. I hope you see it in the way that I experienced it.
Read MoreMost people don’t do sunrise hikes - or have ever done them. I’m telling you, you’re missing out. While I absolutely love sunset, and I love being at weddings, and getting to know people, and capturing the emotions of people in some of the best parts of their lives, I also love this. Nature. The warm glow of the sun just before it crests the horizon. There are moments up in the mountains that can feel surreal, and you can spend the whole time just looking out going “wow”. It’s not really something that can be put into words, just as emotion always seems to be lacking a word that truly fits it.
Read MoreMike and Kendra met like so many other people do. On Tinder. So these two amazing people swiped right on each other. I asked them what caused that swipe. Mike said not only did love the way she looked but also how she was active, outdoors, and seemed so genuine. Kendra told me that she thought Mike was sexy - well, not in those exact terms but you get the idea.
Read MoreGarrett and Alyssa, two people I have seen at more weddings than almost any other couple. I think Alyssa has either been in or attended five different weddings I’ve photographed. That’s amazing. I’ve taken their pictures at multiple weddings, so as Garrett put it at the end of our engagement session “it’s about time it’s our turn!” I couldn’t agree more. It’s so cool how they met as well, from going to school with each other - although not really ever talking, to finally meeting (although not in person).
Read MoreThey met on Tinder - as so many people do these days. They started talking via chat, but one of the things that really struck Rebecca was that Alex was asking real questions - and responding in a deeper, less surface level way. This already set him apart from the others she had tried to talk to on the app. This was two years ago though, so they were in the middle of the lockdown for COVID, and so instead of doing an official date to start, they decided to do a Zoom date. This helped with Rebecca's anxiety around meeting someone online, but also meant they didn't have to drive the hour and a half between each others homes.
