this was when the Bride’s little girl saw her Mommy first… she said, “Mommy, you look like a princess…” so sweet…
ahhhh wow, where do I begin… stunning comes to mind. sometimes you can be in a moment as it’s happening and tears are rolling down your cheeks and there is no stopping you because it doesn’t matter… I cry at every wedding I shoot… every wedding I go to… something when that bride comes down the aisle I feel so happy to be the one… the one to photograph her every step… she has dreamt of this day her whole life… and she chose me… to photograph it… I cannot even begin to describe how that really makes me feel… I have no nerves on a wedding day… just pure blissful joy!
this wedding was very special… we really got to know this amazing couple so well! they are now our friends! Stacey’s brother passed very young and not so long ago… they did so many amazingly sweet sentimental tributes to him… I was choking back tears as the Rabbi spoke about him and I watched the families remember… my heart still gets heavy as I write this… when you get so close to a couple as we try to… you do more than photograph their wedding… you photograph feelings… that to me is genuinely a gift and something I love to give…….
Stacey & Ashley are such a cute couple… soul mates! They laughed and smiled the day away and the love and passion was beautiful!
