2016 was seriously so good! I loved every client that I worked with, I photographed some amazing people and amazing weddings! I was also able to work with some incredibly talented florists and planners, it is so fun to connect with other creatives. I am so lucky that I can call this my job! I have lots of fun weddings scheduling for 2017, contact me to save your wedding date!
I can’t believe it will almost be two years since I went to Nepal for The Beyond Workshop by Nina and Wes Photography. I loved the experience that I had while there! Nepal was one of my bucket list items for about 9 years before I finally went, I never knew what my draw was to go, but as soon as I walked the streets of Kathmandu and hiked the Himalayas I knew I was suppose to be there! As I was wandered the hills and streets I kept thinking is this beautiful place for real?! It was so amazing and some of the photos that I took in Nepal are some of my best during my 12 year career as a Wedding Photographer and Travel Photographer. From the Fort Resort where this shoot took place we could see Mount Everest on the horizon and it was a humbling view to have for a few days. This beautiful shoot was styled and directed by Abany Bauer, she was a dream to work with and learn from, my business has become so much better because of her! Carrie Moe with Type A Society did the florals and she foraged them from the mountains in the area, they were stunning! I have been lucky enough to photograph several Carol Hannah Wedding Gowns and they never disappoint, they design is flawless and the draping of the fabrics is always perfect!

Back in March I was fortunate to go to The Beyond Workshop in Nepal, put on by Nina and Wes Photography. I had always wanted to go to Nepal, and one day I saw this workshop advertised on Wedding Sparrows Instagram. I knew that I had to go. I mainly wanted to go to the humanitarian part of it, but the styled shoots were icing on the cake. Abany Bauer with Brown Linen Designs was the stylist for these shoots, she put together perfect little vignettes to photograph. Stylists make a huge difference on your wedding day, she makes everything perfect before I photograph each part of your wedding. Carrie Moe with Type A Society is a floral genius, she was able to forage the flowers for the wedding centerpiece and the wedding bouquet from the hills of the Himalayan mountains. It was so fun to watch these two work, they were so inspiring with their talent in the wedding industry. I am so grateful for the both of them, they have helped me determine my goals with my wedding photography business. I have become a better wedding photographer because of them, and I hope to continue to grow. The Fort Resort in Nagarkot, Nepal was the perfect backdrop perched on top of the mountains in Nepal. I love destination weddings, and would love to photograph more around the globe.
The fabric on this wedding dress from Carol Hannah was divine, the layers were so playful to photograph, they draped with elegance on the rock steps.
This workshop was mainly for film photographers. I love both digital and film, it was so hard to step away from my digital camera, but I love my results with my Hasselblad 503cx. All of the square photos are shot with film.
