The Landscape of Love
With so many unique individuals, attracted to even MORE unique individuals, one has to admit that love looks a little different for everyone. But it is always beautiful. Jon is a landscape artist, so when he and Kristin hired me to shoot their wedding, which included a ceremony in their front lawn, I knew it would be a unique visual treat! Coordinator: Robyn →
