I met recently with an acquaintance, and she marvelled that I had been married for 20 years. (I was a young bride.) We were talking about how wedding photography had changed in that time, and how we wished we could redo our wedding photos to match the current image style. I am very grateful to…
Last March I had the privilege of meeting and working with wedding planner Eva Yager, owner of Beauty Bride, at Shauna & Clayton’s wedding. She was friendly, organized and charmingly British.

Thanks Deanna, you’re too sweet! I’d love to take you up on that offer someday or if you ever need a helper I’d be head over heels happy to trade my time (and go getting skills) for the chance to learn a little.
WOW! Thanks, Tina! You are very kind. And what a small world! Melanie is amazing; I love her to bits. All the best on your photography journey. If there is anything I can do to help out, I’d love to connect.
I wondered upon your website a few days ago and instantly fell in LOVE with your work. I’ve always loved photography and have just started the long road of learning all I can. Someday I hope to be as good as you are! I was reading your blog and noticed this post about Melanie. She’s AMAZING and the picture you have of her applying makeup to the lady is blue is at my wedding – that’s Melanie and my sister 
A weird coincidence from a new fan!
