Little known fact: I shot the very first cover of Destination I Do Magazine published 14-some-odd-years ago. My friend Jennifer Stein started the magazine here in Phoenix right around the same time that I launched my wedding photography business, and I was thrilled to partner with her on some early shoots for the magazine.
Fast forward and guess whose wedding is featured in the Summer 2019 issue???
Mine!!
SOOOOO CRAZY!!!
Jennifer has become a dear friend -- in fact we've been in a small group together for years -- and she included a sweet note about our history in her letter from the editor in this issue as well. She reminded me of how much life we've lived together: I photographed her destination wedding in 2005 (pre-blogging days), her son's newborn photos in 2011, and her brother's wedding in 2017. So needless to say, this is a full-circle moment for me. And SUCH an honor to be one of the few real weddings featured in the pages of this stunning magazine each year!

I will never get enough of reliving my wedding day. If you'd like to see more of Daniel Kim's beautiful photography, click here. And you can watch a 6-minute highlight video from our wedding day here.
It was a complete dream.
