The rain came down. The sky turned gold. And Katie and Naya didn’t care about any of it, only each other.
This is what happens when you stop fighting the weather and just feel the moment. That glowing umbrella, that fiery sunset bleeding through the clouds, the rain visible in the air around them. None of it was planned. All of it was perfect❤️
This is exactly why choosing the RIGHT photographer matters more than any detail on your wedding day. When you feel comfortable and confident, you are truly at ease and you stop thinking about how you look and you start living it! That’s when I get to make images like this. 👊
My job isn’t to pose you into something pretty. It’s to walk beside you all day, earn your trust, keep things relaxed and natural, and then recognize the exact second the sky breaks open over a glowing pool at dusk and say: don’t move, this is it!!!
Rain on your wedding day isn’t bad luck. It’s drama. It’s atmosphere. It’s the universe handing you something a sunny afternoon never could.

Before Asher started Kindergarten we got to do a father son backpacking trip with some friends. It’s always super hard and rewarding at the same time. My hope is these will be a lasting memory for him and me. :
