I hope I do these moments and words justice. Parents think about these minutes with the microphone for years...at least I have, and our kiddo is seven. But I still wonder what it would be like to share perspective as a parent, looking back but also ahead. I've given toasts as a friend, and those are special as well. Cheers to all:).

Ah, the window between ceremony ending and newlyweds arriving at cocktail/social time. Generally speaking, this is likely the most 'everyone needs efficiency' segment of a wedding day as a photog; the reception timeline waits, and the couple is oftentimes very eager to get to their family and friends. Dory and Kevin brilliantly split up the group shots (some beforehand) because they had a first look, making this transition from ceremony to party very laid back and smooth. There is a method, my friends. Happy Wednesday, all.

Documentation via observation, essential and obvious with event photography, but one of my favorite windows of time during a wedding day. I think of these visuals as somewhat 'experiential,' for lack of a more dramatic term; beating my drum repeatedly, but the hope being that years and decades of viewing these photos will place the bride and groom (and others) back in these moments with friends and family. From a nerd standpoint, I have always appreciated layering - in a few of these the subjects are subtly tiered in between other guests, adding a little sprinkle of 'being there.' More to come. Happy Wednesday, friends.

My last post of a remarkable, genuine, heartfelt ceremony - I'd like to reiterate what a privilege it is to be asked to photograph such moments...on the timeline of your life, your wedding ceremony in and of itself is a blink, perhaps 20 minutes where such consequence takes place, with your family and friends present, and the beginning of life's next chapter. That is A LOT squeezed into a small time frame, and it really is an honor to be there observing and documenting. Most of us forget a lot of our wedding details, so many emotions and such significance...it's a treat to be asked to soak up those feelings and twinkles of time for lasting, lifelong preservation. Happy Friday, friends.

Cheers,
