I hadn’t actually met Shelby or Max prior to their wedding – which I don’t do often – so I didn’t really know what to expect besides the little creeping I’d done on Shelby’s Insta. Right away, I was greeted with such kindness from Shelby and her mom and bridesmaids. I instantly felt at home honestly, like I’d known them for years. And in that instant, I knew in my heart how special this day would be. Words cannot describe how much love there was in this single day (like thank goodness there’s photos). Like all the friggin feels for these two who not only made me cry but also created one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever photographed.

It’s stories like this you guys that make me so damn thankful for this job and this life.
