So excited for this!! 🤗✨

A reel felt too cliche for this moment 🥹

Real people.
Real emotions.
Real love.

That’s one of the fuels to my creative fire…I feel like old me was a people pleaser; healing me is finding out what sparks my ✨TRUE JOY✨w/ this craft.

➡️ The kind of joy that sustains you through seasons where you’re tempted to burn out.

➡️ The kind of joy that when you leave a session on a hot summer day you’re still able to feel more refreshed by the experience captured & people you connected with.

*the woman was too stunned to speak*

^ME ALL YESTERDAY MORNING SHOOTING THIS STUNNING WDNG!!!

No but truly, it was my first time to document a traditional Parsi Wedding Ceremony and I feel so honored!

As much as I loveee untraditional” there’s something SO beautiful & sacred about preserving certain cultural traditions for sure!!

BUT don’t let this fool you, they’re a perfect fusion of both — stay tuned for their OUT OF THIS WORLD reception sneaks (happening tonight)!!

Name something cuter than a FRENCHIE in a FLORAL ROMPER…I’ll wait 🐾🌸🐾

Y’all I met Cheeky and her sweet family at the first First Friday!!

We bonded because our dogs are like twins (except Peppa is a big ole girl lol) and instantly clicked.

Who thinks Cheeky needs a TikTok?! 😂💁🏼‍♀️

Yesterday’s wedding was everything.

All weddings are special, duh. But there’s something SO moving about multi-cultural weddings.

I guess coming from experience and marrying into the sweetest Dominican family, I have such respect for them!

Fusing two identities, cultures, belief systems, mannerisms, everythinggg is the most beautiful experience.

🌺🌺🌺

So celebrating Joanna & Ethan yesterday was a JOY. We all cried, laughed, sweated, & ate the best Indian food I’ve ever had lol!

Blessings to you both!
