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.
It’s rare when I get to meet my destination brides prior to their wedding. I was excited to hear Carolyn & Steve were from San Diego! We got to do their engagement session here which is always awesome to get to know one another. Thanks to the wonders of Facebook, we found out that Carolyn is actually high school buddies with my distant cousin. Such a small world! Their wedding was held at Merriman’s in Kapalua, which was the first time I had been there. What a great location! I am excited to be shooting there again this coming July. I had so much fun with Steve & Carolyn, they make each other laugh constantly and are so happy together.
