Sarah and Dave

I love working with people who know what they want, and who aren’t afraid to express their ideas. Sarah wanted me as her photographer, and made sure I understood that she didn’t want to have to select posing and tell me what to do and when. That makes my job a lot easier, because I can look around and see what works best.

My coverage for this wedding was short, but we managed quite a bit in that time. The picture below is of the groom just moments before he was to enter the church. A few well-placed jokes by his groomsmen was why he had the smirk.
The ceremony was practically seamless. There usually ends up being something that comes up, but not here. Both were a bit nervous, but everything went off well.

We took a few more portraits after the wedding, and they seemed so much more relieved to have the ceremony part of their day done. The bright sunshine gave us plenty of warmth, but also a little challenge here and there.

Once at the reception, I was only there for an hour. Their first dance was a particular favorite of mine because they laughed, teased and danced throughout. They enjoyed it so much, they came back a few songs later. Here, Sarah is probably telling Dave that the salad had red onions and she specifically asked for yellow ones.

Or maybe not.

I was very happy when I got a note from Sarah just a few days after the wedding:

“I was blown away by the photographs! I wasn’t expecting to get many pictures from the ceremony, because you were so discreet. But, there were so many good shots. As a journalist, I can really respect that. Thank you for your professional demeanor and wonderful photography!”

Well, Sarah you are quite welcome. It was my honor and pleasure to capture your wedding memories.
