"Your small voice has a way of spilling into rooms where you thought there would be no place for you.

Even when it is only a word or two, your small voice has a way of pushing through.

And if you happen to be a little quieter, and you sound differently from others, the words you choose resound with truth all the same."

-Morgan Harper Nichols

Oui did a thing!

When Amy and Dave asked me if I would photograph their elopement in Paris in December, I immediately answered, “OUI!” 

This photoshoot was a whirlwind weekend trip and the opportunity of a lifetime! Along with a close friend who officiated the ceremony, I flew to the city of lights to photograph this special day for this amazing couple.

The first day we spent scoping out the area near the Seine River and the grounds around the Louvre Museum and taking in the breathtaking city. We were up bright and early the next morning to capture the beautiful bride getting all dolled up. The special moments of the couple getting ready, especially Amy helping Dave with his tie, were completely unscripted and so beautifully intimate. 

I knew the Louvre would be an amazing setting for this photoshoot, but I could never have imagined just how incredible these photos would be. The bride and groom’s effortless, classic style and love overflowing for each other was taken to another level against the backdrop of the exquisite Parisian scenery and gorgeous buildings around them. 

The ceremony down by the Seine River on a little peninsula next to a single willow tree was the quintessential romantic moment. I found myself tearing up as the couple read vows they wrote to each other and my heart was filled with joy as they sealed them with a kiss.

Scroll down to see more of these très jolie images of this incredible couple. Congrats Amy & Dave! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

And I was even able to capture some film shots too! I am drooling over these colors!

Merci Beaucoup!

✨ I know I could basically copy and paste a well worded caption from ChatGPT about how incorporating video content with your session is super beneficial and it allows your audience to connect with you on a more personal level. But the caption felt so heavily worded and not at all like I sound so instead, here is a video behind the scenes of @ovohomes and then an image to go along with it. Don't you feel like you got a sneak peek behind the curtain of how we captured these stunning images? How about the fact that this photoshoot not only elevated her brand but allowed her to use special content to make some announcements within her own brand? 

Many people worry that adding video to their sessions might be overwhelming or complicated, but it doesn't have to be! Start small. We can simply set up a camera to capture candid moments or use a smartphone to record snippets of the shoot like we did during Olivia's session. This way, your audience gets a sneak peek into how you work, the fun interactions, and the little quirks that make your style unique. 

So, why not give it a try? Add it to your next brand session with me and see where it takes your business!

As the dust settles, I find myself navigating a whirlwind of emotions. It’s a time of reflection, uncertainty, and hope all rolled into one. I believe it’s important to pause and take a moment to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, even amid chaos. So here's a cute photo of me and my family. 🌿✨
