I love taking pictures. Love it. I also happen to love looking at great photography. Stuff that moves me and makes me look twice. But whether I’m looking at beautiful light, a couple in love, or incredible scenery, I’m not marveling at the picture, I’m marveling at God’s glory. This is the attraction to photography for me. This is really what gives me a greater appreciation for it all, when I know it’s all just a whisper of how awesome He is.

I went to Vegas this past week for WPPI but got the chance to shoot Shelly & JJ’s engagement. Looking forward to sharing the rest of this.

It’s kinda crazy how much I love this job and the people I get to take pictures of.

Some really great people right here.

Spent a few days in Texas with James and Jillian. Laughter and thoughtful conversation is what I’ll remember.

It was only while I was putting together these images, that it hit me just how quickly this year has gone by. How difficult it is to describe. While thinking about 2011, and all that year had, I couldn’t have had envisioned how incredible 2012 would’ve been. From Mexico, to Wyoming, to Canada, to weddings all across Orange County, LA County, San Francisco, and even Oregon. I’ve had some insane opportunities to be trusted with peoples wedding days and personal lives.

I can’t thank every client enough.

Honestly. Sincerely.

Your trust in me means more than you know. You enable me to do what I have grown to love and I am so very thankful for that.

I know that my words do fall short when it comes to describing your wedding, and a day that defines the both of you. They fall short for how thankful I am. But I hope the images that I pour my heart into will speak much louder than my words ever could.

Thank you Jesus for once again being faithful. You are good.
