Newly engaged or planning a wedding? You need to hear this!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to take a minute to chat real quick about the upcoming surge of weddings that we are now beginning to see. We've started to see it with the nonstop inquiries and bookings since this past Valentine's day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are in a unique position with weddings because we have everyone who has rescheduled from 2020, couples who are now needing to reschedule their spring 2021 weddings (summer and fall should be fine right now), and couples who are just engaged and are planning a 2022 wedding as well as everyone who has held off planning to see how the pandemic has turned out. In short, we have about three times the amount of couples that are going to try to get married this upcoming spring that we usually would have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you are on the fence, if you have been holding off to see how things are going, if you are waiting for any reason I would suggest that you now consider putting together the team you want for your wedding because if you wait much longer they may not be available.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Headed to @great.marsh today with @swoonsoiree to plan out a beautiful spring editorial. I miss shooting, I really do, and I can't wait to get back to creating beautiful work for our couples. So, until that happens I'll just be over here planning loads of personal projects and editorials.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I don't often show this side of me, I've always considered myself a fairly private person, but so many of you have asked me to share more about who I am aside from my camera, and though that is a major part of my life there is always a whole lot more going on. Also, I wanted to give a special shout out to @aliciaann_daw @hazelduststudio @kberryphoto @swoonsoiree @rudneynovaes @yeattes_productions for helping to push me outside of my comfort zone just a little bit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am a father to two infinitely mischievous children, both of which LOVE to be tickled to the point of deep belly laughter the sounds of which I will treasure for my entire life. Most of my life revolves around our little ones at this point, their needs determine so much of our schedule and we want to make sure that we are there for them as much as possible. I always worry that I am not enough, but when my son says "guess what dad, I love ya" I think I must be doing something right.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am rarely ever in images, hazards of being the photographer of the family I guess, luckily I was able to teach @kristy_abel to take a good photo and she has gotten me some amazing family images like this one.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are inspired by art, culture, shared meals with friends, and really good wine. We spend a lot of time trying to bridge the gap between the life we are living and the life we want to live. Currently, we are putting time into our home projects and trying to fill our house with more art, love, and when the times allow meals with friends.
