Rehearsal dinners are a great event to have photographed. Casual events surrounding the wedding hold opportunity for some of my favorite moments! It also gives me an opportunity to get to know the bride & groom’s friends and family before the actual wedding day. It makes a huge difference, and I love it. ![]()
Julie & Rich are laid back, FUN, and their rehearsal dinner reflected just that.

Rich planned the party. As guests began to arrive, Rich said, “Hey, I have a surprise for everyone.” He walked down the driveway, looked down the street, and waved his hands as to gesture ‘come on over.’ Shortly after, the Kogi Food Truck pulled up and parked in front of their house!




The food was sooooooooooooooo good. Rich’s mom practically force fed me and even made me take a bunch to go. I love you Thelma! ![]()

Laid back. Fun.




Julie is so photogenic it makes me sick! What a beauty.







I love high-fives. Personally, I can’t through the day without them.





Brotherly love.


I love little love notes. I saw this taped to the door to Rich’s office. Tooooo sweet! ![]()
