When we first arrived at Burritt on the morning of Jennifer and Anthony’s wedding, it was a sight to behold. The fog had engulfed the mountaintop park and created a magical wonderland.

Commercial Photography: Conversant Bio
It’s one thing to capture the merging of two love birds, or the growth of a family…but it’s an entirely different world beyond the laboratory doors. I had the privilege of shadowing the scientists of Conversant Bio at work. Instead of an exchange of rings, I focused on the “feeding” of cells. It was surreal to witness first hand such ...
