A Year Later

Hi Michelle,  

Wow, a year ago. We can't even believe a year ago we were so nervous and giddy and excited and hot. and HOT!

The images that you and Thomas captured and gave to us are the best gift we have EVER received and we hoard that gift like a treasure. It feels like we want to stretch it out and keep diving into the treasure chest you created for us month after month and year after year to discover and re-discover moments of that day and the way that we felt.

Sometimes we pick out just a part of the day to look at. Lots of times we pull them up to re-remember a moment.

We look at them after we have a fight.

We just stare and stare and can't believe that these are ours and we get to keep them forever.

Thank you a million and a million times over,

Sandra and Chris

Castle Hill Wedding // Kristen + Tuan

Anytime we get to capture a love story at our beloved Castle Hill Inn (who we also do the professional branding photography for), we are smitten.

The salty ocean air, the impeccable attention to detail, the breathtaking rocky Newport shores.

So much gratitude for this incredible day, this couple's magical love,  and the fantastic team who made it all come together so perfectly.

Also. Those. Donuts.

Grandma's Garage

I love clients who trust me, and don't flinch when I say things like, "Hey I'm kind of obsessed with your Grandma's basement. Let's go play!"

There are more with records, dusty heirloom rings, and lockets with yellow-cornered pictures wrinkled inside.

And I cannot wait to share them. But for now, this, because I'm in the middle of editing and I cannot wait.
