WHERE DO I BEGIN? Most important is that I would not be where I am without God's love and guidance. My best friend in the whole world is my dear husband Adrian whose devotion inspires me to capture the moments of love I see others share. I am a recent law school graduate and could pretty much go to school for the rest of my life - you know, just for fun. Traveling is my middle name. Well, one of them. My favorite destination so far is the Amalfi Coast of Italy, but I have high hopes for Australia and the Maldives (hint, hint, Adrian!).

WHY PHOTOGRAPHY? It started after my second year of law school when Adrian bought me a fancy new camera. Feeling like the next Picasso after each snap, I knew that photography and I were meant to be. I find the most pleasure photographing couples in love, especially on their wedding day. Being a former bride myself, I still remember the smell of my cymbidium orchid bouquet, the way my heart leaped as I sang my vows to Adrian (that's right, I SANG my vows), the feel of Adrian's hand holding mine as we walked down the aisle as newlyweds, and the delicious taste of our chocolate raspberry wedding cake (which, by the way, was the BEST wedding cake ever!). Looking back at my own wedding photos, I am able to relive those feelings all over again. And that is exactly what I strive to preserve for my own clients.

HOW DO I VIEW MY BUSINESS? I've been inspired by the concept of a "boutique." What do you think of when you hear of a "boutique hotel" or a "boutique clothing store"? What comes to my mind is exclusive inventory, modern style, distinct clientele, and amazing customer service. Boutique service has influenced the way I maintain and perceive my own business in wedding photography. My goal is to provide clients with outstanding and timely service, unique and breathtaking images, and minute attention to every last detail of their wedding day. It also involves developing more than just a professional relationship with a client, but a personal connection as well.
