In 2017 I was five years into photographing weddings. The work was becoming consistent and I finally had a portfolio of actual, real life clients (not just friends who were gracious enough to be my muse).

Let me just kick off this post by telling you that these two live off the coast of Spain – Marcus, a technical advisor for the Air Force, and Erika, a photographer herself – and I felt cooler just being around them.
