Grace & George /honeymoon beach session Maui/
As many couples this year, Grace & George had to adjust their wedding plans to the pandemic and got married in an intimate wedding back home in Philadelphia. When Maui finally opened several months later they were so excited to celebrate their honeymoon together in this beautiful place and last minute reached out to me to capture this special time for them on their last evening on the island.
We enjoyed a stunning sunset at the beach and since they never had their first dance I asked them to dance with their toes in the water as the sun set behind the mountains. It was magical.
Kristen & Juan /Upcountry Maui, Hawaii engagement/
Kristen and Juan came into our lives and immediately felt like friends we’ve known forever. They took pictures of our little family in our home and then I took their engagement photos in the pasture in front of our house. Their hearts are so beautiful and we have been incredibly blessed just to know them. They are such a beautiful reminder of God’s goodness and what life looks like when you choose Him above all else. And I’m just excited to see where He continues to take them and use them!
Simovi /countryside family session/
Whenever I come visit Czech now it’s a given that I take family pictures for my sisters and their families and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m honestly so thankful I get to capture all these different season for people I hold so very dear. This was such a sweet session too because it was captured in a place that we spent our childhoods at and last summer my nieces were getting to enjoy it for the first time too.
Miru & Otto /rainy day in-home session/
The rain poured outside but we stayed cozy in their beautiful home.
This session was one of the sweetest ones I have ever done and some of the loveliest people I got to meet through photography. I feel so, so honored when I get to capture stories like theirs. When I get invited into a home, into their lives.
Nela & Vitaliy /engagement session/
I took these two sweet souls to some of my favorite places around my parent’s house in Czech for their session. I can never fully express how thankful I am when I meet someone like Nela & Vitaliy who are just so full of kindness and gentleness towards one another and toward the world around them. Those kind of meetings are so precious and at the end of the session I feel like we’ve known each other for years.
Julie & Kyle / Maui Anniversary Session /
Meeting Julie & Kyle during their honeymoon they waited for patiently, and didn’t go on until their one year anniversary, was such a blast. It was their dream to go to Maui and I think this beautiful island was well worth the wait. I was so stoked to capture some memories from this special trip for them. And they blessed me more than they realize by inviting me into their story! It had been a while since I’ve done a shoot that was exactly what I love, and getting to shoot again with them was so much fun, and such a joy! It reminded me why this passion of mine is so worth the pursuit! And they made me extra happy by braving the pouring rain at one point, and enjoying it with me!
mom & dad /Maui beach session./
It was so special to have my parents visit us on this little island we now call home, and to experience its beauty with them. And I’m glad I managed to get them in front of my lens as well.
There is something unique and different about capturing love that has walked the mountains and valleys for over thirty years. It’s beautiful to photograph a young couple and their love that’s like trees blooming in springtime. But there is something sweet and deep about capturing a marriage that’s like an old oak tree that has stood strong through many winters.
Gretchen & Patrick /Montana de Oro sunset session/
Last evening of our short trip to California on the way of moving from Czech to Maui we got to go to one of my most favorite places in this world. Montana de Oro. I have always wanted to take pictures there, and getting to capture this precious couple, my dear friend Gretchen and her husband Patrick was such a gift! Thank you guys for being up for a spontaneous adventure!
