Oh, goodness. Let’s be honest… every wedding photographer has mixed feelings when the busy season kicks off again. Nervousness. Excited. A bit dreading it, but mostly looking forward to get back to it. Â But sad to leave behind my son and husband…fearing the exhaustion, the day-after hangover from a non-stop day of sweating, bending in weird positions and carrying heavy equipment. Yet I’m pumped to be creative. And how it all ends up depends greatly on the couple…the wedding itself…and those who worked together to make the day special.
This year, I got to kick it off with Rachel & Gordan’s wedding…and I’m so THANKFUL that eVERYTHING about the wedding was amazing. Â The wedding party, the family, the fact that R & G were positively magnetic in front of the camera. I was giddy all day long!!! Ali and I came away feeling more than satisfied that the commencement of our 2016 season together began with a wedding and a couple that will secure a spot in our list of favorite weddings.
