I’ve known Elysse since she was fourteen and I was seventeen. We met at “TheCall School” in Pasadena, CA. She has carried the most tender heart with such a grace about her for as long as I have known her. Her family is very, very dear to my heart… they’re some of my very favorite people. I’m so excited for her!

I met Michael at a coffee shop where I used to work.  I got to know him better when Elysse started dating him. They are such a perfect match!

Two weeks ago when I was in Kansas City, I took them out to the Longview area. It was a lovely, windy evening. Elysse and Michael are getting married at the Longview Mansion in October, and I’m so excited that I’m going to be shooting their wedding (with the help, of course, of my friend and mentor, Shelley Paulson.)

Aren’t they such beautiful people?
