 I love taking photos of brides.  They are truly the essence of beauty and joy.  Tiffanie was a pleasure to shoot because she is so beautiful inside and out.  I wish her all the best in her new marriage.

The essence of true love is marriage, and the most beautiful thing to watch is a virtuous bride.

jen made a gorgeous bride.  i felt extremely honored to shoot her bridals.   as i watched this beautiful bride beaming with the anticipation of her big day, i was overcome with the feeling that marriage is the essence, the culmination, of everything important for the virtuous woman.

This couple was the sweetest couple.  I was on a vacation in Hawaii and wanted to take a picture of something beautiful, and  I ran into these two.  They are both from Poland and have loved each other their whole lives.  They came to America to get an education, and saved just enough money to get back home, and stop in Hawaii and get married.    There was nobody there with them, and they had no money to pay a photographer.  They didn't even have money for rings so they made these rings for eachother.  They asked if I could take a picture of them with their camera, but of course, I couldn't just leave it at that.  It was such a special experience for me to photograph them.    Out of all the the things to photograph in Hawaii, the most beautiful thing I photographed on this trip was true love- the essence of happiness.
