Best piece of advice you’ve received? If you maintain a true principal, you will never be alone.

One piece of advice you’d give to your younger self? Be selective with whom you surround yourself.

What got you into wedding photography? I photographed my first wedding for a family friend when I was only 18 years old as a favor.

Where’s your favorite destination you’ve traveled for a wedding? San Francisco

What’s a dream destination you hope to go to for a wedding? Montana …. Or Hawaii

Favorite part of a wedding? At every wedding, there is a moment when the bride and groom look at each other and have this “OMG!! We’re married!! This is the best day ever!!” private moment, even if it’s in the middle of a packed dance floor.

Film or digital? Digital

Dallas or destination? This isn’t a fair choice. Destination if I had to choose, but it’s not about the location as much as the people and celebration itself.

Favorite Dallas venue? Also not a fair choice. Arlington Hall, today. It may change next week.

Favorite memory as a wedding photographer? There was one church ceremony where immediately following the couple’s first kiss there was a huge peal of thunder, as if God Himself were applauding and approving the union. It was breathtaking!

What are you most excited about these days? Honestly, my next wedding. I love the couples and families I’ve been able to work with, and each celebration is new and exciting.
