Feel free to cozy up with your favorite beverage (if you're like me, then maybe it's an espresso over ice with a splash of cream, or a warm matcha latte if it's cold outside!) and stay awhile. This is my place to share not just beautiful weddings or sessions, but to share my life. My hope is through this, you'll get to know a bit more about me and all the beautiful people that make it worth living!

Morgan and Ashleigh | Beecher Hill House Wedding

I thought 1 Corinthians 13  did a pretty good job defining love and its act, that was, up until I witnessed Morgan and Ashleigh’s relationship.
