Getting back to sort of normal...


2021 was a good year! I suppose not everyone would agree with that statement, but for lots of couples who had to put off getting married in 2020, it was a really good year. It was really fun to photograph these celebrations because you could really feel and see the relief that these couples felt to finally get married and celebrate. It was cathartic and that made for some really nice moments (IRL and in photos!)


It was a fun year for me personally because I made the switch to Canon mirrorless cameras, which are incredibly fast, accurate and quiet. No single piece of technology has ever changed the way I work as much as these cameras. They can focus and track people's faces, shoot as fast as 20 fames per-second and do it so quietly! The other really nice thing is they write to two separate memory cards simultaneously so I have an instant back-up of every image that I make.
