i've been photographing people longer than some of you reading this have been on earth and the greatest takeaway--outside of the images that become somewhat immortal entities--have been the conversations and connections, enriching my life experience and keeping the creative spirit alive ,,,^..^...

Bridals are always a good idea.

A perfect trial run on hair, make up, your bouquet & any possible alterations to the dress so that the wedding day is oh so comfortable.

Added bonus: an amazing chance to pop some champagne with some intimate favorites and wear that fabulous gown more than just on the wedding day!
