Let's be honest; no one walks into wedding planning with the idea that they want a mediocre wedding. You've got ideas about how you envision your wedding unfolding and how it should look (and you know you two are going to look your best and will be enjoying all the feels).

So when the time comes to finding the right photographer, you want someone more than basic. Someone who will be able to bring your story to life. And preserve all the magic for you to relive long after the day has come and gone. 
 
They say 'a picture speaks a thousand words'....which is why having your wedding story told in a way that is authentic to you is important.  Having the ability to preserve your story, with all its nooks and crannies, is my promise to you. From the laughter, the tears, and all the moments in between, allow yourself the gift of being present on your best day as you get lost in your own magic. Let's preserve your love and legacy for you look back upon. And know you would do it all over again.

I'm Summer. My approach?

MORE OF YOU,
LESS OF Me.

I 'm a wife and mother. I like lazy Saturday mornings with a cup of coffee. I prefer nights on the couch with my family, but also enjoy craft beers and apps in a swanky bar. I love being outdoors and I'm eternally grateful I get to experience all four seasons! I dig personal touches & homemade items over commercial goods. Admittedly, I also love shopping on Amazon Prime.
