I’m not quite sure where to begin. When I met up with Stephanie and Michael a few weeks ago, I felt we hit it off instantly. You can always just tell when you’re in for an amazing experience and I looked forward to spending their wedding day with them. I always feel honored to be the one capturing such important moments, but this time around I felt so much more than that.
From Janet to Jim and Junius to Juanita (oooh, I love that both sets of parents’ names start with ‘J’!) I felt like I had become part of a family. From the first picture I snapped, I don’t think I stopped laughing and smiling all day! Normally when I come home from photographing a wedding, my body aches, but this time my cheeks ached from the nonstop smiling I did.
Two lovely families and their dearest friends came together to celebrate the love of two amazing individuals. I feel blessed to have been a part of Stephanie and Michael’s day and I wish everyone lots and lots of love and happiness.
I love the look on Stephanie’s face. She had just declared that she was “a bride”!
This was among my favorite moments. As I head upstairs to snap some shots of Michael, he’s casually sprawled out on the bed, watching TV. Sorry, Michael, for tattling about the whole ‘not having showered yet…” thing. We ladies need to stick together!
Ahh the tie-tying… Thank goodness for blackberries!

Smiles like these just can’t be faked.
