Love lives
in the Moment

Inspired by everyday simplicities that could easily be overlooked, I'm in awe of the way we experience life; the way evening light falls on the road and on people's shoulders as they walk downtown hand in hand, and the soft way that the cool Russian River waters wrap around my ankles near the shore. I'm inspired by the vibrant and reaching pink vintage roses that bloom in spring on my walkway, and the way a sparkler in hand will always ignite wide eyed playfulness.

Love lives in the big splashing celebratory kiss moments and it lives in the quiet pen-in-hand reflective moments; it lives in peace and it lives in each of us. And on your wedding day I want to document, for the ages, the deep well of love that you share with one another and those that you hold dear.
