      Finally got to explore some slot canyons! I'm cons Finally got to explore some slot canyons! I'm constantly in awe of this beautiful planet that we live on, and all the amazing places I've been lucky enough to experience with this job of mine ✨
      I had such a blast with Samantha and Derrick explo I had such a blast with Samantha and Derrick exploring the Valley of Fire State Park. We chose this spot because we wanted to shoot somewhere unique and a bit off the beaten path, and it did not disappoint. As we were driving into the park, we reached the top of a huge hill overlooking the entire valley below us, and everyone in the car said "whoa" at the exact same time 😂 The entire evening felt like we were exploring a different planet, not to mention we basically had the entire place to ourselves. This place, and these two definitely made the 10 hours of driving worth it 👍🏻
      After a crazy busy past few days, 4 shoots in 4 am After a crazy busy past few days, 4 shoots in 4 amazing locations, 3 sunrise wake up calls, over 30 hours in the car, and over 2,000 miles of driving, I'm finally back home with my boys. I'm exhausted, but my heart is so full from this past weekend of adventures. I can't wait to share more magic from this weekend, but for now enjoy this photo from Zion that I'm absolutely obsessed with. And to all the brides out there, if you are looking for a flowy, magical work of art to wear on your wedding day, @nordeenbridal is the designer for you. I was lucky enough to photograph one of her gorgeous dresses, and I can't recommend them enough. The perfect dress for an adventure elopement ✨

      I love when my couples become more than just coupl I love when my couples become more than just couples to me. Over the past year my friendship with these two has grown so much, and I feel like I know them, and their relationship so well at this point. Megan and Sam also have the sweetest little pup and we have bonded so much over our being dog parents 🐾 Our text messages are basically just photos of dogs back and forth 😂 I can't freaking wait for their wedding next month. I'm always so grateful for the connections I get to make, and the stories I get to document. The most beautiful dress: @dacigowns
