In short….I had an absolute blast photographing Candice & Jason’s trash-the-dress session! It took place the day after the wedding at a location you only see in travel magazines…. Fakistra Beach. A small secluded beach surrounded by high cliffs and pristine ocean blue water, it made for the perfect backdrop.

To date, Candice & Jason’s destination wedding in Tasgarada, Greece is the most picturesque location I’ve photographed. This Mediterranean village is located on the eastern slopes of the Pelion Mountains. Known for steep cliffs that surround secluded beaches, the landscape is overwhelmingly lush, even in September.

Lately I’ve been reviewing photos from Candice & Jason’s wedding, and it’s making me miss international travel. Once we’re past the pandemic, I can’t wait to jump on a plane and go somewhere new.

I got to travel a few times in 2018, but this trip to Austin, Texas for Eileen & Lee’s wedding tops the list. Full of laughter, style and emotion. After having a few fun days in Austin, we headed to Montesino Ranch, about an hour outside the city.

How Courtney & Sean came to find and hire me is one of my favorite stories of 2017.  Initially they contacted me to photograph only their engagement session, since they were getting married out of town and were still deciding on the venue.  On the day of the shoot we had a fantastic time getting to know one another, and creating images around Lincoln Park.

I was excited when Jennifer & Chris decided to have a trash-the-dress session during their Majestic Colonial Punta Cana destination wedding.  They're an ambitious couple, so we scheduled it the very next morning after the big day.  Morning photo sessions are definitely where it's at.

Under normal circumstances, I truly prefer to meet in person with potential couples before officially booking their wedding.  I just feel developing a personal relationship with my clients lends to more dynamic, storytelling images.  Also things can get lost in translation when solely using email, phone or even Skype to communicate.
