If you weren’t in the wedding industry, what would you be doing? I don’t see myself doing anything else but photographing people!
What three things are you most grateful for in life? Friends and family, especially my parents, my grandpa, my husband and my amazing daughter! For being able to work with what I love. I’m thankful for everything God is given to me. I just love my life!
If you were to plan your own wedding, or re-do your wedding, what element would be most important to you? Photography!!! The only thing is going to last. That and love!
What is the best advice you can give to brides and grooms getting married today? For the marriage: Love is everything, but respect is important too. For the wedding day: plan in advance, make sure you communicate well with your vendors. Hire experienced professionals and PLEASE, enjoy the wedding day. Don’t forget to have fun!!!!
Anything else you’d like to share with Real Weddings Magazine’s brides? It’s a cliché, but absolutely true: the photographs are the ones that will tell the story of your wedding day!!!

A wedding is truly the sustenance of life, adorned by the beauty of living nature.
If you weren’t in the wedding industry, what would you be doing? Painting nature and flowers.

Jan’s thoughts: Is there anything more exciting or joyous than a future bride planning her perfect wedding? That’s why I love my job, feeling confident that I will have a happy bride and groom who will have received more than imagined in flowers without worrying that it will all come together.
My relationship with the bride is personal, attentive, and open. I’m not satisfied until my mind’s eye matches the bride’s. No matter the vision, theme, budget or style, the flowers will be a work of art beyond what is expected. My bride’s are relaxed and can attend to other details, knowing that I will bring to life a perfect floral wedding event.
What is the best advice that you can give to brides and grooms getting married today? Planning your wedding is suppose to be fun; live it up. Fun is free!
