Pasadena City Hall Wedding Photographer - Kellie and Morgan July 26, 2025
This was going to be a short one our session so I know I had to be on the top of my game. Even with a short time to capture them, I focus on the details of what is happening and make sure I capture the feeling of the day.

It feels like home.
