I remember sitting across from a sweet blonde girl in my office during her coaching session. Her hair was streaked with color and her voice was soft and quiet. She had the sweetest spirit and such a gentle humbleness about her. I remember thinking that she was so kind and after learning about her story, I just wanted the best for her new business. Little did I know that a few years after that meeting in my office, I would get to be the one capturing her colorful wedding day!!

Who doesn’t love the sparkler exit photo as the couple is sent off after their wedding?! It’s a classic! However, the traditional sparkler exit can often lead to challenges that can easily be avoided. This is where the concept of a controlled sparkler exit comes in!
It’s hard to believe that I upgraded to the Canon R6 four years ago! It’s the backbone of my photography, and while it’s been a loyal companion, I’m at a point where I have to ask: is it time for an upgrade? This question comes up a lot, especially from photographers who bought the R6 when it first launched, and many are wondering if the Canon R6MkII is worth the investment.
