Dating Anniversary and Paris | Personal 8 years ago today was a defining moment that showed me that Natraj was the best man in the world and someone I should love. I remember it like it was yesterday, and we’ve been together ever since. We’ve been dating for 8 years, married for 3ish, and I […]

I cannot believe I have already been chasing my dream full-time for FOUR years! It feels like yesterday that I was in another profession and saving, practicing, and dreaming of the day that I would be full-time. I am so thankful to the wonderful people who hire me to document their lives and make my […]

I have written about our wedding that we celebrated on January 28th, 2017, and it was the most wonderful day of our lives! I wore my white gown, said “I do” in a beautiful church, my dad officiated our ceremony, and just about all our friends and family were with us. It was perfect. However […]

January 28th, 2017 was and is my favorite day of all time! Today marks two years since Natraj and I said “I do” all dressed up in front of all our friends and family. So much has happened in the past two years and I am so glad that I have the gift of doing […]

I know my post is a little confusing. You might be thinking, “isn’t she already married?” Yes, you would be correct. My sweet husband and I were married on January 28th of 2017 in Clemson SC. Unfortunately; most of Natraj’s family was unable to come to the U.S. for the wedding. My in-laws asked that […]

Today Is My 3rd Business Anniversary!!!! 3 years ago today, I walked out of the high school classroom to pursue my dream as a photographer. Going from a steady paycheck to the unknown was and is scary.  Most businesses fold within three years, so this is a BIG deal! I am really proud of this milestone.

Today Natraj and I are celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary!

Our wedding day was the best day of my life. I had been planning my wedding since Pinterest started. I put in hundreds of hours planning and absolutely loved it. Other than being limited on our guest list because of our location and struggling to find my wedding dress for a bit, the planning process is the most fun I have ever had. Our wedding day was perfect in every way.  A year later and I am still in awe over how well our wedding day turned out!

Some of my favorite things about our wedding day:

– I had a white fur coat!

– We were married in a church that was over 200 years old!

– Bollywood dancing happened!

– Natraj dropped jokes in his vows!

-We were able to have a wedding that normally would have cost $20,000 for less than $10,000

– All our favorite people were present

I almost called off my wedding. Seriously, I was very ready to just not have the big wedding and let signing the marriage license be it.  It wasn’t because I hadn’t dreamed of my wedding day since I was four…because I had. It wasn’t because I had not had time to look through every bridal magazine or create multiple inspiration boards on Pinterest…because I had.  It wasn’t because I wasn’t in love with my fiancé…because I sure as heck was not letting him get away.  I almost called off my wedding because I could not find a wedding dress.

This weekend my sweet husband Natraj and I celebrated 6 years of being together!

I met Natraj May 2011 at Clemson University. I was finishing my undergrad degree at Clemson University and he was working on his masters (and eventually his PhD).  We became friends quickly but I just thought of him as a friend. It took him three months to tell me he liked me. Eventually he wore me down and I fell for him…and I fell hard.

So, I have big news! Like really big news!  Making a difference and loving those in need are incredibly important to who I am and why I do what I do. I have found that sharing my heart with clients is essential to my brides and grooms! So I’ve combined my passion for helping those […]
