Black lives matter. Black lives are beautiful. Black lives are loved. Black lives are inspiring and needed. I’ve long believed the wedding industry needs more inclusivity, more diversity, more love. I’ve actively worked to create a beautiful, diverse and inclusive portfolio but there’s still much to learn and we ALL can do better. As ever, I’m committed to continued and imperfect progress. I won’t always get it right and I may not always say the right thing, but my heart is always in the right place, open and willing to learn. What I do know for certain is that we are stronger TOGETHER and LOVE is always the answer. I believe real change starts at home and right now I’m focused on raising my brand-new new baby boy with a heart full of love. Today, I hope you’ll join me in: 🖊 Signing this petition to support Photographers of Color: https://tinyurl.com/PhotographersOfColor 💕Committing to inclusivity and taking the #inclusivitypledge (see hashtag for details) 🖤 Following and supporting some of my favorite Black Wedding Professionals: @joyproctor (who was actually my wedding planner) and is a beautiful force who sets trends and creates beauty literally everywhere she goes! @ericaestradadesign is stunning inside and out with an impeccable eye for style —she’s also a founding member of @ethoswestcollective a new organization supporting Black Wedding Professionals. @saunterweddings I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Ashley’s gorgeous editorial designs and they blow me away every time! @harold_james This Paris-based makeup did my makeup for my branding shoot in Paris and he’s a GENIUS.
