I had the priviledge of shooting my very first wedding a little over a week ago..it was everything I could have never prepared for! I didn't think it was possible to feel such emotions behind the camera as I did..there is something magical about capturing moments that are going to be remembered for a lifetime such as a Mother's hug, a Bride kissing her Father before walking down the aisle to her Husband to be, and the way a Groom looks as he is awaiting his Bride and spots her for the first time. I felt honored to have the Bride choose a song we listened to on the way to the ceremony (yep that's right..I even got the honor of toting the Bride with me in my car!!) for their first dance..talk about tearing up! I have realized that weddings can be alot of work but they are something I have fell in love with <3 The way the couple looked at each other had such a purity and depth that it could echo through silence if it had to. And I have to give honorable mention to the wedding party as well, I was forewarned that the guys would be a handful and they stood true to that..there was never a silent moment and they kept us laughing the whole time we worked! The girls were sweet and saucy all at the same time..for a first wedding this was definitely one of the best groups of a Wedding Party I could have the pleasure of working with! I chose the picture above as I have quickly realized I love to capture raw and true emotions and just be in the moment with the subject on the other side of the camera. Seeing the Bride get emotional made me realize how special it was to be a part of something so amazing as her wedding day!
