“Have you ever been to Louisiana?” the father of the bride asked me with a grin. He then proceeded to scroll through his camera roll, and pop up a video from the dashboard of his truck as it slowly made its way down a snow covered road. To say that everything came together in the […]
I was so excited to meet our Bride Isabelle (and her sweet groom Charles too!).

Engagement photos are so much fun for me to shoot, especially because my schedule rarely allows […]
