"in love he has predestined us" Ephesians 1:4-6
to capture the magnificence of life's stories itself as its been written. Between every breathtaking kiss, every genuine smile, every soulful moment, and every beautiful milestone - the click of the shutter allows us to freeze it into truly an eternity. Enjoyable for our eyes now and to hold as collectible for generations. This is our belief. This is our manifesto.
Predestined in Love, what does it mean? The name is inspired by Ephesians where it says "In love, He has predestined us." It's a play on words that romanticizes the idea that the stories of our destiny have been prewritten in love. Every love story deserves to be told, in its most unique, powerful, and heart compelling way. This idea has impacted a calling of photography,

friends for life?
Yes, & I very much mean it! I don't believe in just photographing your wedding simply as a business transaction. As a romantic shooter, I put a lot of my own soul into photographing so many sweet moments that I truly leave a place in my heart for every couple. What I love most is for the couples I've followed journeys of from their engagement shoot, to their wedding, following their maternity and newborn - growing along with your family and capturing these precious milestones is an honor and the sweetest thing in the world to me.
