1️⃣ Relax & Breathe: Take a moment to soak it all in. This is your day!
2️⃣ Light & Location: Choose a well-lit space for getting ready—it makes all the difference in your photos.
3️⃣ Details Matter: Have your dress, jewelry, and accessories ready for those beautiful close-up shots.
4️⃣ Stay Hydrated & Nourished: Don't skip breakfast and drink plenty of water will keep you glowing.
5️⃣ Moments with Loved Ones: Cherish the quiet moments with your closest family and friends. They make for the most heartfelt photos.

Remember, your joy will shine through in every shot! 📸💕

💍🤵🏽‍♂️ Attention all soon-to-be-married couples! 💍👰🏼‍♀️

Planning a wedding is an adventure, and attention to detail is key! Grooms, it’s your big day too, and I’m here to make sure you shine just as brightly as your partner. Here are some essential groom details to consider for your wedding day:

1️⃣ Suit Style: Whether it’s classic, modern, or a unique twist, choose a suit that reflects your personality and complements your partner’s attire.

2️⃣ Accessories: Don’t forget the little touches! From cufflinks to watches, pocket squares to ties, accessories add personality and flair to your ensemble.

3️⃣ Grooming: A well-groomed appearance is a must! Schedule a haircut, trim your beard, and pamper yourself with a professional shave for that extra confidence boost.

4️⃣ Personalized Details: Consider adding personal touches such as monogrammed items, custom socks, or a special message hidden inside your jacket pocket.

Remember, your wedding day is a celebration of your love story, so embrace these details to make it truly memorable.

Let’s make your groom style as unforgettable as your love!

Let’s talk veils! 👰🏼‍♀️

Veils can add so much romance to your wedding day photos! There is something timeless and romantic about putting on a veil on your wedding day!

🙅🏼‍♀️ While they aren’t for everyone, here are a few reasons I love them!

1️⃣ Magical Photos: From delicate veil shots caught in the breeze to intimate veil lifting reveals, they add a captivating element to your wedding day.

2️⃣ Personalized Touch: With a wide range of styles, lengths, and embellishments available, there’s a veil to complement every bridal vision. Customize your veil to reflect your personality and style, whether it’s adorned with delicate lace, intricate beading, or subtle embroidery, making it uniquely yours.

3️⃣ Symbolic Tradition: Some brides wear their mother or grandmothers veil, or even add to it for their special day!

4️⃣ Multiple looks: Choose to not wear a veil for your first look but add it in for walking down the aisle to add a surprise!

So, why not add a touch of bridal magic to your wedding day with a veil? Trust me, you’ll cherish the enchanting memories captured through the lens forever. Let’s create timeless moments together! ✨

I don’t do this often, but photo deserves a post all of its own! 😍

I had so much fun with Shelby & Jacob at their engagement session! They laughed, danced, hugged and showed off their love for each other! And my gosh does it shine in their photos!! 😍

I am already counting down the days until this June wedding because I know it’s going to be filled with so much joy and happiness!

A little cold and wind was not going to stop these two from having fun on the beach earlier this week!

Happy Wedding Day to Olivia and Tim! 💍

Why do I love engagement photos?

Let me count the reasons: ⤵️

1️⃣ Capturing the excitement and anticipation of your journey to ‘I do’. 💍
2️⃣ Creating cherished memories to look back on for years to come. 📸
3️⃣ It let’s us get to know each other a little more before your wedding day! 🥰
4️⃣ Your groom will be fully prepared with what to expect during photo time on your wedding day! So when I say ‘nuzzle in’ he will know exactly what to do! 👏🏼

I can’t wait to see you for your own engagement photos!

Happy 4th Birthday to Batch!!

Our first furr baby & best big brother to Bogey! 🐾

And let this be your sign to bring your pups to your wedding!! 🥰

Karen & Adam in Virgin Gorda, BVI 📸

A little fun fact…⤵️

We captured all these photos (and about 100 more) in less than 25 minutes!!

The best part?! We snuck it in before a full day of activities! Without sacrificing any fun on the trip, Karen and Adam now have pictures to hang in their house from their favorite place!

Taking photos doesn’t always need to be an hour event during dinner time! Just remember to document those special memories at your favorite places!!

And as always, I’m always ready for another flight or passport stamp so I’d love to chat about your vacation or honeymoon photos! 📸

Introducing Mr. And Mrs. Poulin (& Lucca)! 👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️🐩

Sunday was the perfect start to my 2024 wedding season! ⤵️

From a ring purchased when Amber was born to be given to her on her wedding day, to an Italian tradition of seven almonds, heartfelt vows, a special moment giving her bouquet to her mom, and an ending with Amber grabbing the microphone to sing to her husband!!

Amber and Kevin, your love for each other (and Lucca) is so evident and I can’t wait to watch you begin this new chapter as husband and wife!
