I’ve been excited to photograph Amanda Stanton’s Engagement Photos ever since the moment Michael proposed. I’ve hoped she would find her husband ever since we became friends in 2019.

I’ve been a bit antsy to start shooting weddings again after a weird 2020, so this couldn’t have come soon enough. Capturing emotion is my calling. What I loved most about MaKayle and Kyrei’s wedding was that…
