I don’t believe in pursuing a styled shoot concept without working with real people in love. Real couples. Real relationships. Real hearts beating in tandem behind cages of bone. Behind curtains of lived memories and experiences and tears and fights discovered through hardship and bound forever to each other. Amanda and Tylor represent resilience. They’re two of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and I was grateful to capture the truth of their bond for a styled elopement concept with several other talented photographers.
