This is one of my most favourite sessions I’ve ever photographed. Because I truly believe magic happens when you have a couple who trusts their photographer to create something breathtaking. Matt and Madi did just that. This is part 2 of our sunrise/sunset session we did for their 4 year anniversary. (You can see Part […]

My phone binged, and I saw Luke’s name appear on my screen. I immediately dropped my phone, my heart beating so fast. There could only be one reason why Luke was messaging me personally. I opened the conversation and started to read, squealing with glee because what I had hoped he was about to say was […]
