After shooting so many weddings, I can say that today, weddings are all about how 'beautiful' it will look... they are all focused on how many details can be filtered throughout the day...or how many elements can be woven into the day. And as a photographer, I have to admit, I do love those things very much, but at the end of the day, what is remembered is really all about the feelings and the emotions.

So, when I walked into Saturday's wedding, and what met my camera was a multitude of tears, big hugs, even bigger smiles - it was so refreshing and real. The emotion and the closeness between the between the bride + groom and their family and friends was great to be a part of.

So thank you for letting us be a part for your day. I hope the images spark the same feeling you had when we took them.
