Working in nature can be tough with the dust, heat, and all the walking and climbing. But Derrick and Chelsea embraced these challenges, with their adventurous energy adding magic to the shoot, resulting in dynamic and beautiful photos. We started at Tutulari Gorge, a hidden gem with dramatic cliffs and moss-covered walls. It was our...
Keeping it cool and classy, we went with an all-white vibe that looked killer against the lush greenery. From the get-go, it was clear these two were made for each other—their laughter echoed through the woods, making the whole shoot feel like a breeze.

The pandemic has taught us a lot of things, and one of them is that love can flourish even in the midst of a crisis. The story of Manuel and Nicole is a perfect example of that. In fact, the situation may have even strengthened their bond because they had to communicate more deeply and...
I recently had the privilege of capturing one of the most stunning Tinghun ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed.
