Shinzen never disappoints. Cannot wait to capture their wedding this September!

Sometimes, I get emotional while shooting, especially when knowing the backstory. This was one of those moments. On Saturday, it rained and rained and rained but finally, the storm cleared and we got to capture this beautiful mama who’s gone through so much to be standing in this moment. But God.

Congratulations to the class of 2022! These last few year have tested you in ways many don’t realize and yet here you are. Celebrate this moment!

Some photographers will tell you they chase the light. Recently, after going through a huge loss in my own family, I’ve realized that it’s not light I’m chasing, it’s love. Love, passion, connection-shared between two people or a family, maybe it’s passion for a new career, excitement for a degree you’ve worked hard for, or love for a new baby you’re about to meet. It all comes back to love. There are times in life where it will be hard to find the light but if you have love, that will bring you through anything. Maybe that’s why the Bible says, love conquers all.
