Love Notes From Our Clients

From the moment my wife told me she was considering Light + Chapel, and showed me some of their work, I knew instantly they were the one for us! Then we contacted them and just off the good vibes, and the genuineness of the conversation about the vision we wanted for our wedding, we knew we had to work with them! So glad we did... very professional, creative, flexible, just all around someone who truly has a passion for what they do!


We approach every wedding with a keen eye and an open heart, always ready to seize those raw, unposed moments that make each wedding unique.


Whether it's the tender look exchanged during the vows, the joyous tears shed by loved ones, or the spontaneous bursts of laughter on the dance floor, I strive to freeze these emotions in time through my lens.


These candid shots are the ones that will transport you back to that very moment, allowing you to relive the feelings and the energy of your wedding day.
