Don’t mind me if we get a little freakayyy on your wedding day 🤪.

I had such a blast with this crew of ladies, always grateful to have wedding parties who like to joke around and have fun! I’m plugging away on this wedding behind the scenes over here and I can’t wait to share some others from this day!

Happy Monday friends!

A little backstory behind this moment🏔

We were supposed to shoot at 6:30 that morning but the forecast had other plans so we pushed our shoot a bit later. Of course when I arrived it was cloudy and no rain in sight (thanks forecast 🙄), but there was this moment when the sun peaked out over the clouds and shined down on Kaylin and Alpesh, it was such an incredible moment I’ll never forget.

Do you guys ever feel like there are times in life where the big guy (or whoever is up there) is telling you that you’re in the right place at the right time? Almost like a check mark along the way. Well, this felt exactly like that.

So grateful to feel at times like I’m on the right path. I hope you all feel the same way too, because it sure is serendipitous ✨

Oh hey, oh hi! Just a little tribute to @that.pup.winry and Jordan’s big day 🤍🏔

Make sure you scroll to check out their reaction to seeing each other for the first time that day 😍

Thanks to these cuties for having me along on their intimate wedding day. It was magical to say the least! We shared all the snacks and we belted out Disney singalongs during the formals.

Hands up if you agree Rach looks like a Disney princess 👸🙋‍♀️

This was my first “non-restricted” wedding sin

This was my first “non-restricted” wedding since the reopening and I must say it did NOT disappoint.

Notice how every single image Devon is smiling ear to ear? Well I think that’s very telling of the day these two had together FINALLY surrounded by all their friends and family.

It was definitely worth the wait. Congrats to Devon and Miggy! You guys are incredible, thanks for having me.

A couple post lock-down firsts for me in since July 1st - get togethers with friends, hot yoga and spin class, and my first ever piercing (I don’t feel earrings count 😜).

How about you guys, how are you embracing life right about now? 🥂

Super happy these babes love their photos. We had such a blast! @s.leighk @curtisficko

Sending off this gallery today to the lovely @sarah.pankiw - it's kind of crazy to think that I shot her 5 year wedding anniversary/pregnancy reveal 5 years back, and here we are at her 10 year wedding anniversary photo shoot.

Congrats to the Pankiw's on such a massive accomplishment. May your love continue to grow stronger and better with age, much like that fine wine we love so much! 🍷 @cpankiw

Kayla may have the worst luck in the world, but she really lucked out in the love department.

Their original wedding plans were to have a destination wedding in Mexico, and when plan C of their wedding day came to fruition, they ended up getting hitched on the @boxeryeg rooftop and getting through Mexican heat after all. ☀️ 🍀

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these two for many years, I’ve loved witnessing their love grow and create a family together. Scroll to the last photo to see a getting ready image of Kayla and her adorable son Emmett💙

Thank you both for having me along on your intimate day together. Congrats to the most badass bride and friend of mine @bombshell_stylistk and her amazing hubs @curtis.webster.ndt who I also love to death 💀

PSA. These two smokeshows tie the knot today I couldn’t be more jazzed! It’s been a longggggg time coming, and today is plan C but it’s going to be amazing. Cheers to these lovers and the rest of you out there enjoying the heat 🔥

Find someone who will race you on a scooter 🛴 🤷‍♀️

Can you tell how much fun we had shooting these? 🤪

My social media game has been a little weak lately but don’t worry pals - I am alive over here! Tired and overwhelmed, but thriving in the hustle and bustle of the busy season. I’ve been super busy this month shooting almost every single day, which I’m super grateful for!

You guys keep me on my toes, that’s for damn sure! Thank you thank you thank you loveerrrsss!! Have a fantastic weekend, and don’t forget that sunscreen and the coronas of course! ☀️

Babes: @s.leighk @curtisficko

This little beauty right here just happens to be my little cousin.. and it just happens to be her stagette weekend! Do you see any resemblance?

Now, let's be honest - I'm definitely passed my prime in terms of partying, and also I'm a bit rusty due to good old Covid! Soooo wish me luck as I try to keep up to those young whippersnappers this weekend.

Kayla and Lew have been through hell and back trying to plan their dream wedding during Covid, and they actually ended up pushing it to the end of July which thankfully due to the announcement today that's going to work well for them and all my other couples whose weddings are coming up fast here!

Cheers to the fricken weekend, and cheers to KAYLA! LOVE YOU! @kayla_karabonik @kaylakarabonikartistrys @lewis_warnock95

Starting my day off right with a little snippet from my shoot the other night with the lovely @sarah.pankiw 💃 These photos are in celebration of their TEN year wedding anniversary. 💍

This girl is DAMN fine (okay, you tooooo Clayton @cpankiw 😜), and she truly is even more beautiful on the inside. To know her is to love her! Can I get a helllls ya?! AND happy belated birthday love.

Can’t wait to share more of these beautiful humans. 🤍🤍🤍 Happy almost anniversary lovers.

Math! You are my nemesis. And teachers you are sai

Math! You are my nemesis. And teachers you are saints!

I had the opportunity to look over my high school transcript the other day and it became very apparent that math was not my strong suit. In fact I remember in college I got not one, but TWO tutors and I was still managing to fail the course so I dropped it 😂 what can I say, I feel like most creatives might have this in common? Fill me in!
