The Bride’s Sister Was My First Wedding I EVER Photographed

I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wedding in Oklahoma that was extra special to me. The bride's sister was actually my very first wedding client years ago, so it meant a lot to me that the bride chose me to capture her special day as well.

The wedding took place in December, and despite the month, it was a surprisingly warm day. The atmosphere was loud and fun, with lots of laughter and excitement in the air.

The winter colors of the wedding were stunning, with deep reds, greens, and golds creating a beautiful backdrop for the photos. The energy of the day was contagious, and I couldn't help but get swept up in the joy of the occasion.

Being able to capture such a meaningful day for this family was truly an honor, and I am grateful to have been a part of it. It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do as a photographer.

January wedding? In the freezing cold? Yes, it can be done beautifully!

Imagine a simple winter wedding in January. The cold air, the cozy atmosphere, and the charm of the season all coming together for a special day.

Capturing these moments on camera is an art. The photographer must work quickly in the cold, but the results are worth it. The stark backdrop of winter creates a unique and classy atmosphere for the photos.

From the sweet moments between the happy couple to the quiet beauty of the snowy landscape, a winter wedding in January is a truly special occasion. It may be cold, but it is full of warmth and love.

My favorite photos from 2023

After six years of being a photographer things get old. This year was about circling back to the basics. It’s been about realizing that my photos looked orange, not everything needs to be shot at a low aperture, and I need to stop and rethink everything I think makes a good photograph. For many reasons the photos I picked as my favorite weren’t something I would have naturally created. But that’s the point. It was time to hop off autopilot and start capturing people’s real moments.
