From the Bride: Parker and I met in New York City. He was living in Seattle at the time and visiting his friend for the weekend (and I was living in NYC). We met randomly at a dive bar when he and his friends sent over champagne. After a whirlwind weekend of fun, touristy dates, Parker went back to Seattle and I thought I would never hear from him again! He asked permission to call me a few days later, and we spent the next year and a half flying back and forth across the country, getting to know each other through text, phone calls, and weekend trips.

Married in my hometown of Modesto, California, Dominick and Tyra filled the room with so much happiness. These two have been literally counting down the days until saying I do on October 1st. I arrived early to document both individually getting ready. What I noticed was both had such a huge support of people who truly care about them.

The brides mom handmade the cutest clutch from her original wedding dress and engraved the inside with Kate and Andrews wedding date. The dad choose to have his own little first look reveal with his daughter and tears were displayed everywhere.

The room was filled with a great group of long time friends and family. The night ended with a few more photos on the rooftop. As I was leaving, I saw the beautiful venue from a far, I quickly ran back up and asked if they would just stand in the middle of it. That last photo became their favorite and the one they told me they would be printing largely

Candi and Prabir contacted me after Candi admitted to looking for a photographer for over 2 years. You could image how excited and honored I felt that she picked me out of all the photographers she had been researching. She came to me after explaining that her dream wedding in Nepal didn’t produce the dream images she had imagine. She wanted a do-over including details, getting ready images and even getting the chance to wear the wedding dress she bought for her actual wedding that she never wore.
