GRAND ADVENTURES, A PORTFOLIO OF REAL LOVE STORIES

Some of My favorite moments from the last sixteen years of weddings

I've photographed hundred of love stories both big and small since starting in 2009. There’s been a lot of laughs, muddy dresses, scuffed shoes, forgotten bouquets, cute doggos, and life changing moments. Most of these couples pictured below started their big day off telling me just how awkward they would be. And as you witness their love stories I think you’ll agree, making awkward couples look unawkward must be my speciality. I can’t wait to do the same for you. So I'm delighted to present this collection of couples I have been so lucky to have had the pleasure of working with. Grab a seat, a cup of coffee, and take your time browsing through these intimate moments from their love stories.
