There are few joys as great as getting to walk along side friends through decades of friendship. It's an experience I really would only say I have with that beauty above. Em has been one of my dearest longstanding friends and it was a privileged to capture a few photos of her and her love this past month. Teddy showed me around campus and we were able to snag a few photos in between watching the bell tower chimes and seeing where he conducts his research.

I cannot wait for June to come and celebrate this bride! Teddy and Emily, I'm so deeply happy that God's brought the two of you together. I absolutely cannot wait to capture your big day!

Luke + Alison || Couples

There are few couples as absolutely wonderful as Luke and Alison. Family friends, the best of the best, I had the opportunity to photograph them in this season. Transplants from the UK to Helsinki, they were a safe harbor for us when as we waded through culture shock and craving deep friendships.

Some of the best we've ever made (It helps they're such a fabulous looking couple.)

Jimmy + Amy || Couples

The beautiful Amy has graced the face of this website before. She was infact my first official client here in Helsinki! Since the day we’ve met, I’ve marveled at the gentle kindness and down to earth feel I get everytime I’m near her. Pair it with her impecable sense of style and grace and you have one breathtaking woman. Getting to see her with Jimmy and witness their love-a love that bloomed in their early years  of high school and has carried them through university and across oceans-was a sweet gift. It’s no wonder the images I’m left with are filled with a classic beauty and  tenderness that only is found from loving someone so thoroughly.

What a joy it was to photograph Jimmy and Amy. They wanted to capture this season they are in-living in Europe together in the early years of their marriage. I was so honored to get to be the one to collect snapshots of the two of them.

What a beautiful couple you are, Amy and Jimmy. You have a love that will most certainly leave a legacy. Thank you for the honor of photographing this season  you’re in!
