It is such an honor having so many of the moments I captured awarded by the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). I love to see moments from weddings being honored in an industry that is so ‘stuff’ focused. These are the images that will have a lasting impact. This is what it is all about for me. Thank you to all of my couples for trusting me to capture their moments.
