Traditional and Sophisticated Winter Wedding at Duke Chapel and Aria Events || Durham, NC

For me, there is absolutely no better way to begin a year than spending the day celebrating two incredibly kind and generous people who also happen to be in love. From start to finish, we had the most relaxed and joyful day with Min Jin and Robert - from the breakfast of delicious leftover Korean food at Min Jin’s house while I photographed everyone getting ready, to the packed dance floor as one of the couple’s friends played favorite after favorite. And don’t even get me started about how welcoming and helpful all of their family and friends were in making sure their (and my team’s) day went off without a single hitch!

Destination Engagement Session: Manhattan

Combining my own love of travel with a desire to capture my couple’s stories more personally, getting to photograph a couple’s engagement session in their neighborhood - where they’re spending this season of their lives together - is such an intimate part of the wedding process because they’re showing me a glimpse into their real personal lives, and it makes the photos that much more meaningful.

Dreaming Big: The Art of Discomfort

In dreaming big, I also believe in putting your goals and intentions out into the world in order to realize them. So, here are some of 13-year-old Adrian’s work related dreams that are still very much alive within 32-year-old Adrian.

All of these dreams lie on the other side of contentment, not hoping that the grass is greener, rather acknowledging that within privilege lies the ability to always absorb and reflect more of the joy and brilliance of life. It’s also not waiting for things to be better/easier so you can enjoy them, rather being able to see the romance within everyday life so that the simplest pleasures can be rewarding; that is, after all, the premise of my commercial photography.

Celebrating Your Journey

I have always loved the idea that the journey is just as - if not more - important than the destination. Your photography session & final imagery will be a celebration both of where you are now and how you got here. I would love to tell your family's story from engagement to wedding to maternity to newborn to family portraits, filling your home with photo albums that show each season of your lives together. And capturing how your love grows.

I want to capture your business's journey from your first start-up branding session to your celebratory corporate retreat, honoring all the hard work and enthusiasm you've poured into your craft.
