A gentle breeze made the eucalyptus leaves shimmer in the warm spring sun…
It was truly a beautiful day for two beautiful people. Under a grapevine adorned with peonies and garden roses, Heather and Gabriel reached for each other. It was here, standing next to their best friends (also D&D group members) that they would promise to always love one another. They would promise to always be loyal, to always love and support each other, to achieve their dreams, and always strive to be the best version of themselves.
Later, at their reception, Gabriel’s Abuela (married for 68 years!) was asked about her advise for the couple. When she answered, I couldn’t hold back the tears. Her words were simple. She said that though they will struggle, they should never stop lifting each other up and up. For me, that’s truly the most beautiful and pure version of what a marriage is about. Lifting each other up, rising to challenges together, and helping one another become the best version of yourself. What a gift it was to hear her words and for that reminder.
As a couple, Heather and Gabe are caring and considerate. They really go the extra mile when it comes to loving their family and friends. I’ve honestly never encountered a more considerate bride – every guest and staff member was cared for and prepared for in advance. From thoughtful details to kind gestures… all on a day when WE were there to care for THEM… it was a beautiful thing and moving to witness! Together these two deserve a world of happiness and a lifetime of living their best lives together.
Heather and Gabe,
Thank you for letting us be a small part of your incredible wedding day. It was an incredible honor to watch you make those promises to one another and I know great things are in store for you both! I cant wait to see where life takes you and I hope our paths cross again soon.

Today i’m writing about my favorite cheap lens for photography. I’ve had it since the beginning and I still take it with me as a back-up on wedding days and use it every time I travel. I recently challenged myself to use only this one cheap, affordable, and small lens for documenting a dreamy styled shoot in sunny southern California.Read More

During the summer of 2016 I was lucky enough to photograph Mary and Chris’ wedding at the gorgeous Fairyland Club in Lookout Mountain, GA. We met Mary and Chris while they were living near us in Laramie, Wyoming and became quick friends. Mary is one of my favorite bride’s and was such a sweetheart to answer a few questions to help all you brides currently planning your wedding!
I wont lie. I was completely broke. Like, nothing but lint in my pockets, spiderwebs in the wallet, broke.
Hi there! I’m Megan. Thanks so much for stopping by!
