No one has more respect for my clients than I do; their personalities and quirks, their inspiring stories of all kinds have truly changed my life. I get so involved with my couples’ journeys that it sometimes feels like I’ve been there with them the whole time! I think that’s a huge factor in what makes our images so raw, so authentic and so fun. They’re REAL and represent so much! So getting to meet new clients whom I’ve never crossed paths with is quite a journey, but so very different from getting to work with couples I’ve met already or have known for years. I’ve known John for over a decade…we’re both volunteer fire fighters and have bumped into each other at many parades and other events and emergency scenes; so I’ve been super blessed to have witnessed his beautiful love story with Olivia unfold over the years!! Social media is huge for me…it helps me stay in contact with my couples before and after their big days. So it’s safe to say that I’ve “liked” and “loved” literally everything this couple has posted right up until the big day!! Part of why I especially love these two is because they’re so fun and so free. They even incorporated their love of hiking into their wedding theme and it made me love them so much more!! (fellow hiking junkie over here). I’m so blessed to have such sweet and genuinely joyous couples-turned-friends. Olivia and John truly define this and getting to witness a love like this is the heart of all my inspiration. Congratulations, John and Olivia! xo
