Shooting photographer’s weddings have a special place in my heart because they know
exactly what I need to thrive and they give it to me: TIME! lots of it.
Ashlyn, Travis, and I started shooting the portraits HOURS AND HOURS before the ceremony, because she wanted a few different locations, and that requires even more time to travel! But starting very early is honestly the key to creative, amazing portraits! (OR a day-after session!) We weren’t rushed! This is an atypical scenario for me (normally I have to RUSH through pictures) so I was grateful and cherished it immensely!
I am so proud of the work I created this day: ) It also helps when I know the bride trusts me 100000000x and chose her wedding date around my schedule!!!!! Its an amazing feeling!!! I want to make her so happy: )

I even had time to drive the dress down the road 5 miles specifically for this shot haha! Usually I spend about two hours during the “getting ready” portion of the day!

Ashlyn is my cousin so I was photographing a photo of my own grandparents James and Margaret Markham and a fish hanky in remembrance of our cousin Thatcher :

I remember Ashlyn texting me getting ready outfit ideas because she understands its another way of showcasing your style and another chance to wear and be photographed in something cute!!! I LOVE what she chose!!! Madewell shorts!

My brother Dylan was with the guys: ) Mr Maev eating breakfast:

My uncle’s famous Bisquick pancakes

Travis, thank you for being emotional: ) Far too many guys suck all their emotions in, and keep it that way all day! I wonder if they know that all their women want is to see them cry hahaha

They read Love Letters to each other… right next to each other. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
