This book by William Claxton ties my love for both photography and music together so well. Thanks to @eastonrichmond for letting me borrow it. Editing photos, catching up on emails, and practicing trumpet on a Monday is the life. The person on the cover of this book is Chet Baker. Listen to his version of "But Not For Me." You're welcome.

I love this photo from Ashley & Eric's wedding last week. The first look whether it's before the ceremony or as the bride is walking down the aisle is one of those most beautiful moments throughout the entire wedding day. Photo by my assistant, @_mintken_

Rowena Crest Viewpoint I had to reschedule an engagement shoot today due to bad weather. It's a bit of an inconvenience for everyone involved, but ultimately it's the right thing to do. When clients hire me as their wedding photographer, they want me to be at my best and to deliver them the best images possible. I take that responsibility very seriously and will do anything to make them happy, even if it means rescheduling to ensure the best possible photos. So excited for this year and thankful for the amazing clients that I have. Happy Sunday, everyone! (at Rowena Crest Viewpoint)

Tien & David. I've known these two beautiful people since my first days in college. Everyone had a feeling that these two would get married and that is all coming true this summer. So happy for my friends.

So excited for my 2016 weddings! Striving to always learn and improve my photography for myself and my clients. Thankful for @jordanvoth for the continued education and inspiration!
