Photos don't belong on your phone.
They belong on your walls, in your hands, and taped to your mirror forever.

I fell in love with weddings when I was a young girl. The first time I laid my eyes on my parents wedding album I instantly knew its power.

 I continued to look at it every single day and over time it has only grown in importance and meaning. When I look at each photo I see a moment forever caught in time, I can really feel the love my parents felt for one another.

 I feel truly honored to be able to provide the same feeling to my couples and their future families.
