There was no better way to end our visit with my Aunt Debi and Uncle Jerry then to capture the two of them playing and laughing together. 20 years later and they still act like newly weds. They are such role models to us and we were so happy to capture a few sweet memories […]

Forest Couples Session | Bryant Pond, Maine | Debi + Jerry

This is session was a dream. Josh and I met with Coral and Spencer and immediately hit off. We danced around, sang High School Musical, and practically froze to death! It was well worth it though. This was my first ever beach session and I’m oh so in love! When we got close to the […]

Beach Couples Session | Lincoln City, Oregon Coast | Coral + Spencer

The first thing to know about having a beautiful wedding is that it begins not with gorgeous decorations, a stunning dress, or the perfect color scheme. It begins with two people, so in love, and both committed to spending the rest of their lives serving each other as one – no need for credit card […]

How to Have your Dream Wedding on a Budget

Caitlin and Zack are some of my all time favorite clients. I’ve had the amazing opportunity to capture so many milestones in their relationship and I was so excited to be able to take these anniversary photos for them.

Lost Dutchman State Park | Arizona Anniversary Session | Caitlin + Zack

I’m honestly just blown away by the BEAUTY of this couple. We had an amazing time taking photos and recording some educational content (hint hint!) and just laughed all evening.

What We’ve Been Reading

I am aware that many women struggle with pornography addiction as well as men. It just so happens I have only lived life as a man and therefore only feel able to speak from that perspective. I use strong descriptions and harsh language throughout to address the seriousness of the issue. I do want to […]

Porn & Dating: Should we break up?

Without a doubt marriage is one of the most important decisions that could ever be made. Just because we can get married young doesn’t mean we have to. But I certainly can attest to experiencing tremendous benefits and growth in the last two years as a young married man. Don’t get married to someone just because you don’t think it’ll get better. Set your standards high enough because you are valuable, and then wait. The rest of your life is too long to commit to “good enough”. Just don’t wait for the sake of waiting. Find someone that shares your values, isn’t wrongfully jealous, is kind to your friends and family, and maybe even shares your sense of humor. Then find some wedding bands and make it work.
