Meet B & T. I first met B back in Dallas when I hired his his company to assist me in redesigning my wedding website. I love how our collaboration came full circle after he met T. Capturing gay weddings in small, conservative towns such as Driftwood, TX holds profound significance for me.

I was talking to a friend and we were acknowledging the fact that we were both thankful for our queerness.

I flew into Los Angeles a few hours before the wedding festivities began. I was greeted by a house full of friends, family and a lot of laughter. It was going to be an exciting day. Beautiful Indian culture, stunning brides & style for miles! Couldn’t ask for more. There was so much love that consumed the SmogShoppe that evening. Congrats Shannon & Seema.

Representation in the media ultimately saves lives and it has been lacking for too long. Every single day we have an opportunity to change that. Through curating real life interactions and experiences during our photo and video productions, our team features the brand's products but more importantly tells the stories of the individuals who are using them.

I have heavily defined myself by my work and by what I’ve built over the past 10+ years. When a good amount of that was shaken early 2020, it forced me to sit still and take inventory of what I want my experience to be and where I want to invest my time & energy. All we have is right now. Everything else is uncertain & fleeting.
