julie & opie
Julie wanted to be at her childhood home on the morning of her wedding. She wanted her parents, sister and the girls she grew up with to be there with her too. And, she asked me to be there to document it. I’m glad she did. Judging by the comments from all the people I talked to, it is clear that Julie is well loved. She is a beautiful person in every way.
Jeff (also known as Opie) has a slightly larger than life persona. Everyone knows and loves him. He is fearless, funny, sincere and just an all-around great person.
The two of them make a really fun couple. It was a pleasure getting to know them and their family and friends.
jamilah & wissam
The first time I met Jamilah and her family, it was her brother Mahmoud who was the one getting married.I was thrilled to find out several months later that not only was Jamilah also getting married, but that she wanted me to shoot the event for her as well.
During the filming of these two events, What really struck me was the incredible and strong relationship Jamilah has with her parents and two brothers. There was no questioning the importance of family to them. They would do anything for each other...

megan & drew
Megan's stepfather came into her life and immediately found himself in unchartered territory. He was the new guy, trying to figure out how to be a husband and a father all at the same time.
To say Megan didn't like him at first may have been an understatement. How he went from the new guy to the only man Megan would let walk her down the aisle is the stuff family stories are made of.
From Megan and Drew’s wedding film, here is the story of the New Guy.
