Heather and Connor met online playing games with friends, which is so cool considering he was all the way across the pond in Scotland. Their bond grew, bringing him all the way to Minnesota for True Love. Nearly everywhere along the North Shore is a stunning place for photo opportunities. Plus, it was a great opportunity to introduce Connor to some iconic and breathtaking sights in his new home state.

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. I first visited in 2020, and was ecstatic when I got to go back again for Danaye and Seth’s wedding and engagement photos. All the art, the beautiful succulents, that refreshing coastal air, the Dungeness crab chowder bowls at Boudin…but I digress. This was my first wedding where I had to travel across the country and I’m still really proud of it.

Nature has always been a great source of comfort throughout my life, it allows me to simply exist in the moment, to slow down. For some people, it can be really difficult to relax in front of the camera, which is why I favor longer sessions outdoors. I intentionally block out three hours for my couples sessions. Sure, it could be quicker, but I’ve learned through experience it’s best not to rush the magic that happens once flow state hits.
