Not every couple I meet is going to be a perfect match. I know that and I also know that while I would love to photograph everyone's wedding, if it isn't a perfect match then I need to help them find someone else to photograph their day. It sounds crazy, but it is true. On the wedding day, the bride will spend more time with me than she will spend with her new husband. This is why it is so important that we have a great relationship.

When I first met Lianna and Ethan at a little breakfast place called Stacks, I just knew they were my couple. We talked and talked. We didn't just talk about their wedding. We didn't just talk about pricing. We talked about life. Where they met, what they love to do. Their favorite places to visit together. Family. It was such a joy to spend time with them and it made me realize, yes, this is my couple. My couples turn into my friends. That is the only way that I can be sure to provide them with the best images on their wedding day. This is the only way that I can be sure to capture their memories through their eyes. The way they remember it.

Here is a little peak at Lianna and Ethan's engagement session at Santana Row in San Jose. Yes, they are dripping with awesomeness.
