Leah & Pat + a great way to end the summer

  Hands down,  this was the largest number of bridal party members I have ever witnessed. 25 to be exact. It just comes with the territory when Pat played baseball in college, as well as Leah playing volleyball in college. You’d think would have been hectic, but they were all so much fun and surprisingly […]

Marissa & Brad | Longview Mansion Engagement

So one of my favorite things when I shoot with couples, is when one (or even both) of them “giggles” the whole time. It’s either A-out of nervousness.. or B-because they are straight up adorable and are completely enjoying their shoot with me. I think B for sure. Heck, I can tell that when I’m […]
