Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Pala Mesa Wedding – {Michael + Sara}
Sarah + Mike are both extremely busy Doctors, I didn’t get much time to get to know them prior to the wedding! Plus they live in Chicago so there was that whole geography issue. Regardless. they were so fun to be around and I’m not sure I’ve ever met a couple more suited for each other. Pretty big statement but you (probably) weren’t there so you have to take my word for it. 😉 They had a beautiful Fall themed wedding last October in Sarah’s hometown and I am so glad I was there to witness and photograph it!
