Pure Magic


Brita and Wenzel's (bride and groom) wedding day was not only beautiful, it was magical. This couple thought of every little detail. It made my job as their photographer so easy and fun. The day I met these two for their engagement session I knew we were going to get along. Their love for vintage, fantasy, their military background, and Wenzel and I's shared Filipino culture were just a few things that connected us. What makes a wedding day magical isn't just the look, it's the friendship and deep love that the couple has for each other and everyone around them.

Brita, A True Princess


I wouldn't be doing this day justice if I didn't write about Brita. Talk about a bride with a vision! Our beautiful bride is unique in many ways, and it was her love for fantasy and specifically the Lord of the Rings that her wedding day emulated. The dark-themed florals, the crown, the rings, the table decor, all of it screamed of another world. I love when couples aren't afraid to be themselves on their wedding day. Adding aspects of who you are and your personality is such a great way to make your wedding unique to you.

Wenzel, the Heart


If Brita brought the vision, Wenzel brought the heart. This couple chose to honor the groom's Filipino culture throughout the wedding day. The ceremony, the attire, and the reception all had special traditions involved. More than just his culture though, Wenzel's words were full of heart. I remember thinking after hearing his vows, this man should be a poet! His love for his bride was so evident all day long.

Their Story Goes On


Documenting this day was an absolute joy. Their kindness towards me and respect for my work made every hour spent worthwhile. I'm glad to have been part of their story and elated that my images will live on to tell it. I guess this is more of a love letter than a blog post, but who can blame me?! I'll forever be their biggest fan. Cheers!
