Washington DC Wedding Photographer / Maria + James

It sounds silly I’m sure.

That some clients and I were meant to find each other. That somehow in a sea of wedding vendors their paths cross mine just at the right time and they reach out to me. It sounds like a pie-in-the-sky notion. The romantic in me who is more wishful than wise.

But I can’t help believe it sometimes. The loveliest people you can imagine find me. The up for anything, I wished they lived closer so we could hang out kind of clients. Working with them has little to do with money or a simple exchange of services. Its much more about our shared love for family, food and all things creative. Its the reason I love what I do.

It goes without saying, but Maria and James, I heart you. I can’t wait for you wedding next month.
