This has been SO fun to learn and I have SOOOO many ideas of all the things I can make (I’ll also be taking requests if there is anything you’d like to see come to life). It took lots of help and welding is most definitely an art of it’s own. All my people sipping cocktails off my bar cart having the best time. It may sound dumb but every time I walk by my bar cart I get so happy.

A great wedding is great because of the people. A wedding is great because of two people who picked each other…above everyone else…forever. The band that kept that party going all night and the unbelievable sushi spread making it’s way around cocktail hour.

If I’m being honest…before I started this new little hobby of mine, the only knowledge I had on welding was what Channing Tatum taught me in Magic Mike (which can I just take a second to say…welding shirtless is very unrealistic – and frowned upon. So maybe welding isn’t the answer to a happy, fulfilled life. It was a step towards something that I wanted – which wasn’t just a piece of furniture – but a life spent moving and doing and learning and becoming better. So…here’s the beginning of my welding adventure.

There is nothing that fills me up more than getting to document my wedding couples as they start their families. but as you go through the wedding planning process (where I typically meet couples a year or so before their wedding day) you get attached. Luckily in the world of social media I get to keep up with their lives and then hopefully…continue to document them as they continue to grow. So getting to photograph their new family of 3 on the most beautiful night made me happier than I can put into words.
