I’m writing this as we are driving back home from Trevor and Alyssa’s wedding. Michael is driving and their images are backing up. I wanted to write this while the joy of today is fresh in my mind! We spent today with the sweetest people at one of the quaintest and most charming venues. Trevor is Tyler Herrinton’s brother and so in some ways, it kind of felt like a family wedding to us. It was such an honor to capture their special day…. especially after having to push it back by a year!
Finally getting to watch these two get married felt like such a victory. Because of the pandemic, they had to wait an additional year to have their wedding. It was worth the wait. They got married on a beautiful, sunny day and while it was chilly, it was absolutely perfect. We were obsessed with the florals, the kindness of the staff, the beauty of the venue, the amazing food, and the incredibly high amount of energy that came from such a small guest count. The Manor at Airmont is owned by an incredible family. The parents are the caterers, the planning and florals are done by their daughter, the venue is run by her husband, their kids were helping throughout the entire day in every way and they were doing all of this so well even after having a seven week old! How incredible!
What I loved about this day wasn’t just the amazing colors or the glowy light, it was getting to know more about Tyler’s family and meeting Alyssa’s. The joy and the excitement was overflowing and I think the pandemic and the fact that they had to wait an entire YEAR longer for their big day made it that much sweeter! They were FINALLY married!!!
It was such a fun celebration and we loved getting to see friends and their families all day long! Be sure to find Ty and Ash’s family pic and see their new little guy, Callan. He’s just the cutest. Also, don’t miss the sunset field portraits!!! They were timed perfectly and I cannot WAIT for photographers to get to watch that part of their day (and the rest of their day!) on KJ All Access when this episode airs!!!
Enjoy seeing a visual recap of Trevor and Alyssa’s day and the gorgeous Manor at Airmont!!!! …

Ever felt that wave of anxiety before a photoshoot—the kind that makes your mind race with thoughts like What if I freeze? What if I run out of ideas? What if my clients feel awkward?
When it comes to wedding photography, the right lens can make all the difference. But let’s be honest—gear can get expensive. So when Canon introduced the RF 85mm f/2.0—a lens with portrait, macro, and image stabilization capabilities for just $500—I knew I had to put it to the test.
Have you ever started a session, camera in hand, and suddenly felt stuck? Your couple is standing there, looking at you, waiting for direction… and your mind goes blank.
Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone. Vision casting in marriage is hard because it brings up deeper fears, beliefs, and unspoken dynamics that many couples don’t even realize are at play.
Success—it’s a word we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Is it about financial security? Status? Owning a dream home or taking extravagant vacations?
When you think about your business, do you see it as simply a job—or something more?
