When we met in person for our engagement photoshoot, she was just an absolute JOY to work with! Collaborating with her on inspiration, props, and planning the photoshoot was so fun and easy with her, and our pictures came out AMAZING, to the point where they were published online by rockymtnbride! I had full confidence in her abilities to photograph our wedding, she ended up doing a perfect mix of documentary style and posed pictures. My jaw has not been off the floor since our wedding, and seeing her sneak peak where every single photo is STUNNING only kept me riding the high of the weekend!"
