CORE VALUES

As a photographer who's captured countless weddings, I've noticed something special: the most meaningful celebrations aren't about following trends or breaking the bank – they're about couples who dare to plan their big day around what truly matters to them. From intimate backyard gatherings to elaborate destination events, the magic happens when every choice reflects a couple's authentic values, priorities, and shared vision for their future. Let me show you how to create a celebration that's genuinely, wonderfully you.

When my husband and I started dating, we didn't just talk about fun stuff like movies and travel. We talked about what really mattered to us: family, faith, and how we wanted to raise our kids. It might not sound romantic, but figuring out our shared values early on was the best thing we ever did. Having the same core beliefs is like having a strong foundation for your house. It keeps everything steady when life gets shaky. If you want a happy, lasting marriage with real harmony, it's not about agreeing on pizza toppings, it's about agreeing on the big things in life. This is the secret to true relationship satisfaction and building a partnership that can go the distance.
