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.
When I met my fiance he brought me along to my first beer release. A beer release is usually done at a brewery that is putting out a special beer with limited quantity. You go early and stand in a long line for the opportunity to buy this beer. This explains how I met Anthony. I started talking to the friendly guy behind me and it turned out he was a photographer too! We became friends on Facebook and it was long before I started seeing him at other beer events. I finally got to meet his other half, Lindsey and we hit it off immediately! Over the years we got closer over the love of beer and it blossomed in to a lovely friendship. I was so excited they thought of me for their wedding. Of course we had to include craft beer – Anthony got us special access to the new Alesmith facility to do photos!
Also check out Lindsey’s custom made gown done by Anthony’s cousin Paul! So gorgeous!
