I know winter is ending (thank God, right?) but now that Kelsey & Jackson’s save-the-dates are out in the universe I had to share their awesome engagement from December. I have known these two for over half of my life and I am SO excited to be IN their wedding in February, not shooting it. But of course, I had to photograph my best friend before her big day. I’ll never forget how much fun (and how cold) this day was.

Read MoreI cannot believe I am writing this on March 6, 2017 but there are SO many amazing images I made last year and so many awesome people I met along the way—I can't leave them behind without an awesome recap. 2016 proved to be the first big year of travel for SAP, including weddings and engagements in Chicago, New York, Asheville, Miami & Vermont. 2017 has even more destination weddings on the books.
Read MoreMeeting Erika & Michael at a small French brassiere in Manhattan for the first time was like meeting old friends I hadn't seen in years—but in winter wonderland. Erika and I were going back and forth weeks prior and I had been anticipating snow and was SO excited when I stepped out that morning.
Read MoreI had a blast in Chicago for a little over 36 hours and I couldn't have had better tour guides than Kimberly & Johan. I absolutely LOVE seeing where my destination couples live and will travel anywhere to shoot awesome engagement sessions. It pushes me creativity to be on the loose in a new city!
Read MoreHanging out with Farrah and Isaac was like meeting up with old friends. We immediately connected and I was SUPER excited to see the private beach behind Isaac's home in Burlington, Vermont. We hiked, scouted and eventually ended up next to a classic wooden boat and a beautiful sunset. I am so thankful to have met the two of them—their laughter is contagious and I cannot wait to see them married next summer. And thanks, Vermont, for being one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Read MoreThere is nothing more beautiful (and relaxing) than summer days spent on Lake Champlain. I grew up on Mallet's Bay, with the cool blue water and epic sunsets as my backdrop. When Corey and Danielle told me about their family friend who has a place on Coates Island—I was beyond excited. This is also where Corey proposed.
Read MoreStephanie & Steve met working at one of the most beautiful Inn's in the Southeast— The Omni Grove Park Inn, in the heart of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We shot on an overcast Sunday which cast some of my favorite light, especially with the awesome abandoned house on the hill as our backdrop. These two will be wed in August in the middle of the woods at a Boys Summer Camp—it's going to be amazing. <3
Read MoreWas super excited when Danielle reached out asking about shooting their engagement at the Ice Plant Bar. Not only is it one of my favorite spots (and has killer light falling from the high windows mid-morning) but Verne is co-owner of Bosscal Mezcal and they wanted to incorporate the awesome bottle as well. Danielle & Verne are getting married in 2 months and I am super psyched to be part of their intimate wedding at The Lightner Museum & Casa Monica Hotel.
Read MoreI am so excited to share a few photos from Cait & Matt's engagement session—they also chose two of my favorite places in St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra, Mission Nobre de Dios and Guana Reserve.
