This was only my second time visiting the sunshine state. My first was many years ago and I was only able to see the Hollywood area. On this occasion I was able to explore Palm Springs and a little bit of Joshua Tree National Park, which encapsulated a completely different experience in comparison to my first visit.

This spring I was invited to fly down to Orlando, Florida to photograph some dear friends of mine for their 30th birthday. Looking back through our photos, I still feel like I stumbled into a fairytale!

During my consultation with Kyra + Erika, they shared with me that they enjoyed my moodier edits. When I began the drive towards the Red River Gorge for their elopement, I knew with all the mystical fog and rain that we wouldn’t have any problems capturing some wonderfully moody images that day.
