Wedding Season is Upon Us

Ahhh, weddings. To tell you the truth, I had never been interested in shooting weddings... until now.

My mom used to coordinate them and from the stories I heard, the thought of capturing a moment "they'll remember forever" within a four hour time limit at 15 second intervals, running here, rushing there- was not one that I particularly fancied.

But as I grow older, the air of love seems to be surrounding me wherever I go, and the more I learn it and feel it, the more I want to capture it.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to assist and shadow a good friend of mine- an amazing photographer by the name of Elise Capener. Her photos exude a level of intimacy and comfort that only a pro could achieve.

I was able to bring out my camera for the reception and take a few shots (the photo kind) and

out of 447 photos, I did my best to choose a few favorites to share with you . . . enjoy!

And Into the Night....

And as the night fades, nothing but grins can be seen through the crowded driveway as we send off the newly weds with bubbles and waves goodbye. Feeling overwhelmed with love and joy, we feel personally grateful to have been witness to the unity of true soulmates.

I think I've fallen in love. . . with photographing weddings .

Thanks again Elise!
