It's the biggest honor photographing a wedding. Each and every wedding I photograph makes me cherish what I do a little more and I walk away feeling blessed to have documented love on the first day of forever. However, when a wedding industry peer asks me to shoot her wedding, I'm floored. There's no greater honor than shooting a colleague's special day, and it's something that totally blows me away.

When Carissa of JL Designs and Events asked me to photograph her wedding in Malibu, I was over-the-moon thrilled. We connected early on in my career and she had a heart of gold…so it was easy for me to love everything about her. Carissa supported my growth and when her wedding planning started, I was honored to be a part of her team. Carissa is a florist and event designer, so she had a fabulous affair…and with the help of her publicist–Be Inspired PR–the wedding was published in Brides Magazine! What an honor!

Since the wedding, Carissa and I have collaborated on many projects together and I'm incredibly honored to call her a peer…and friend.
