BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT adara

Capturing love and timeless moments is a true passion of mine - I'm enamored with the idea that we can take the best moments in our life and freeze them to remember forever!

I'm a big believer that wedding mornings are best when you start with an iced brown sugar oat milk latte & end with an epic dance party at the reception!! In my free time (which is minimal with two sweet kiddos!) you can find me serving in my church, sneaking in a date night with my husband, or enjoying the outdoors!! I love the sunshine and being by the water is my happy place! 

LET'S mAKE

TOGETHER

Something Beautiful

Your wedding day will be full of joy, love and FUN! I want nothing more but to be a third wheel and document every special moment of your big day! Let's be friends!!
