Five years after photographing Austin and Deirdra’s intimate wedding, I’m looking back at a day filled with love, a little chaos, unexpected rain, and the people who made it special. A story about friendship, marriage, the moments we don’t always notice at first, and how photographs can take on entirely new meaning as the years pass.

You don’t need to know your angles, practice your poses, or become some magically more photogenic version of yourself. Come as you are. I’ll take it from there.

Three days, thousands of cosplayers, one new flash and absolutely no shortage of creative chaos. Come wander San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with me.
