Lorenzo and Armie’s first time to Alaska and it was one of the craziest weather days I’ve ever seen. But their souls are intrinsically adventurous and nothing would stop them. They came to celebrate their elopement among the mountains and even if that meant celebrating in the middle of a hailstorm, they were down.
Geliah and Brian are two self-proclaimed indoor dwellers. They are obsessed with their dogs and can put away a season of Orphan Black on Netflix like nobodies business. Outside the walls of their home, they are lovers of the city and connoisseurs of culture and science. They know what they like and they know who […]

It’s not hard for me to fall in love with the people who ask me into their lives to document their wedding day. From first dinner to engagement session, to chats on the phone and more, we spend a a lot of time together and my heart steadily grows for them.
