I am living a dream. I never imagined that I would be doing my dream job and loving it so much!

I still get butterflies for every wedding that I shoot. I feel the emotion of every bride and mother of the bride in a way that I never thought possible. If you cry, I'm crying right along with you.

Personally and professionally I am constantly striving to do better and be better but I think it's my emotion and passion for what I do that makes me successful. I can create excitement in a pose or in a smile. I feel every photograph. The moments I capture are for my couples but I get to share in the magic of that moment.

My own life is truly a blessing with a wonderful husband a beautiful daughter and in 2007 I was blessed with a son. I have friends and family who inspire me everyday.

There's no dress rehearsal for life, we need to go out there and make it memorable.
There is beauty all around us. Even when we don't take the time to look it's always there.
Your wedding day will be filled with cherished moments. There is beauty in the simplest details from the pew bows and the rose petals to the laughter of a friend to the tear down dad's cheek.

Recording those memories is my passion.

I thank God for the friends who have encouraged me along this path, for the gift I have been given and for the passion of life.

Marilena is truly a gift. She is my second set of eyes and definitely my second set of hands. Marilena allows me to relax by taking care of the smallest details. She's also proved herself a great asset to the bride in times of need, sometimes being labelled as "maid of honor for hire".

Marilena has been with me since the beginning and it shows. We work together as an experienced team. When people ask me if she's my "second shooter" I laugh and tell them "Marilena opted for the golf lesson instead of the photography class!". She's experienced enough now to know exactly what I'm looking for and her enthusiasm for her job is apparent at every wedding we attend. 

I don't mind that people often mistake us for sisters....as long as she's always the older one!

I would not be able to do the job that I do without Marilena by my side.
