Every wedding I shoot is a unique and special event. I think I'm almost as excited as the happy couple to witness their special day and I always feel honored to share in it. I think it is important to connect with each couple you work with so the photos have a more personal feel. And then the couple is more relaxed and happy to be having their picture taken.

The butterfly release at this wedding was so amazing, the butterflies landed on many of the guests and it was a really neat moment to see so many holding the delicate butterflies before they took flight.

The butterflies landed on the bride's bouquet, they do like flowers.

The dress is always such an important moment, this is when the woman truly feels like she has become the bride. You can always see the change on their face and in their posture once the dress goes on. This is their day.

Often some of my favorite photos are the ones that are captured when the couple isn't posing, like this one where she was fixing his tie. He was late for the ceremony because he couldn't tie the bow tie, and it was in a rather silly knot throughout the ceremony, you could see her giggle when she first approached him with that silly knot where the tie should be. There's often a funny story and that makes each event special and memorable.

Here they are talking about it afterward, at least she had a sense of humor about the tie. It's not the first wedding I've shot where the groom couldn't tie his tie. I think that I should learn to tie bow ties so I could add it to the services I provide.

Ah, the kiss...

Having a wedding in a really beautiful location doesn't hurt either.
