Devin + Melissa's Wedding / Temple Israel / McNamara Alumni Center

There's always something that sticks with you after returning home from a wedding. I will always remember the many times Melissa asked…"when do I get to see Devin?" And always with a beaming smile. Hearing her say this gave me that funny feeling in my stomach as I remembered what my heart felt on my own wedding day and how I longed to just see my bride. I'm so thankful for the first meeting I had with Devin and Melissa on our back patio and remember them both agreeing they really wanted a photographer who would document their wedding day and nothing more. Well, here is what I saw and how it felt. Thanks again for everyones support over the last few years. I am so appreciative and blown away. I love this job.

Chuck + Jessica / Philadelphia, PA Engagement

I remember one of my first conversations with these two and how I threw out the idea of coming out to Philly to take engagement photos. Time flies. Now, I'm back at home dealing with February blizzards and I'm still thinking about how sweet (and way to brief) my time was out east. I met up with Chuck and Jess at there place and we chatted and talked about various things then walked to a favorite nearby cafe. One Shot. This place is amazing. Great atmosphere and wonderful food and drink. If you are ever in Philly, I highly recommend a visit. Afterwards, we hung out a little more at there place and then drove to a spot along Wissahickon Creek and just took in the chilly, late winter morning. I'm so pumped for there wedding back in Minneapolis this Fall and very grateful for the time I spent in Philly. I moved around a lot as a kid (Wisconsin, Alaska, Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota) and always thought I'd love to travel when I got older, but I've put roots deep down in MN and havent traveled much. I think my desires are changing...
