“Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your amazing work during the last year! I am so glad Jake set us up & I couldn’t imagine having anyone else help us document our day & engagement. You made us feel so comfortable & I’m obsessed with the pictures! We will absolutely be calling you for any upcoming events or milestones. We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. Thank you for being a part of making our wedding day so special!”

I didn’t really know what to expect from the documentary style, but you have far exceeded any expectation! You’ve managed to capture the little quirks & moments that define us as a family. These photos are so meaningful, thank you!”

"I love how open you are to capturing life & letting it be. It's a tough barrier to break in my opinion & you do it so beautifully. You accept life in all of its glory. It's what I love about your photographs the most. There's a certain reverence for life that you're able to capture & it's so unique to your beautiful heart. Thanks for letting things be okay."

August⁠ ⁠ When the blackberries hang⁠ swolle August⁠ ⁠ When the blackberries hang⁠ swollen in the woods, in the brambles⁠ nobody owns, I spend⁠ ⁠ all day among the high⁠ branches, reaching⁠ my ripped arms, thinking⁠ ⁠ of nothing, cramming⁠ the black honey of summer⁠ into my mouth; all day my body⁠ ⁠ accepts what it is. In the dark⁠ creeks that run by there is⁠ this thick paw of my life darting among⁠ ⁠ the black bells, the leaves, there is⁠ this happy tongue.⁠ ⁠ By Mary Oliver⁠
This exuberant, love-filled, gorgeous celebration This exuberant, love-filled, gorgeous celebration is featured on @stylemepretty! To say it in the most open & real way I can, it feels amazing to have this wedding be recognized. After the delays, heaviness, even heartache of 2020 this celebration finally got to happen in the fall of 2021 & it felt BIG. Joyful. Energetic. Brimming with the feeling of people getting to finally be together. Hugging & toasting & dancing. Celebration is important. Love is truly worth celebrating. I’m so happy to have a role in that part of life & see these images reach people far & wide. Thank you @downeystreetevents for linking me up with this lively, loving couple. @tfengstah & @jamesjluo, I adore you two.
