Real Moments

Welcome to the Blog!

Here you’ll find posts about real weddings and portraits that I’ve taken over the years. From my experience, not every customer wants to have their wedding or portrait session shared on the blog or social media, so out of respect for their privacy, this blog doesn’t reflect all of my experience as a portrait and wedding photographer. There were also periods of time when I didn’t blog any weddings or portraits, so as time permits I intend to update the blog with older sessions to give the reader a better experience, so there may be some posts with little to no details about the wedding or portrait session. Thankfully, a picture’s worth a thousand words!
