Hey, guess what? Summer starts this week! And you know what’s even better? The wedding season is finally taking a chill pill. Lately, I’ve been all about using medium-format film in my weddings and engagements. It gives the photos a classic aesthetic that goes perfectly with the digital images of my style. I’ll be officially including film in my 2025 weddings. With things slowing down a bit, I’ll have some breathing room to work on fun, creative projects once I’m done with all my editing. Can’t wait!

Nothing could dampen Sean and Jackie’s wedding day, not even the threat of rain. We were blessed with a sun-filled celebration that made their special day even more magical. Here’s to love, laughter, and sunshine! ⁠⠀
