Tony & Stephanie Wedding
Some people ask me if I get nervous before a wedding or during a wedding. It's in our nature to be nervous creatures whenever we step into unknown situations. And every wedding is virtually an open ended day of infinite outcomes. I don't get butterflies before weddings anymore, but I do get excited about the many different images I have rolling around in my head before I shoot one.
For example, I knew going into this wedding that I wanted a tight crop of Tony on Stephanie's shoulder. Once a shot like that is in my camera, I can relax and start enjoying the day myself. I love it when my couples know that and are willing to do all kinds of silly things that they wouldn't ever do in front of a camera on any normal day. This trust starts from the engagement session, that's why I have an engagement session in all my packages. I remember this one shot where Tony was jumping over Stephanie when we shot their engagement session. Tony gave me this you're out of your mind kinda look, but afterwards he liked the image. I secretly think it was because it made him look cool.
Thanks guys for letting me have so much fun shooting you guys this weekend!

Jerry! Wow! I'm so impressed with how far you've come in really honing your craft! The pictures look great and I'm so proud that you're doing something that you really seem to LOVE doing. I wish I had that courage. Congratulations!
love the ring shot!
beautiful colors and shots. it was great getting to see you work and get to know you and ingrid throughout the day. I can really see why you love to do what you do. :D
Dianna - is it spelled with two n's? Didn't know that. But thanks for the nice comments. You have to jump into bed with your lover. Ok, that came out kinda weird, but yeah, once I knew I wanted to do wedding photography I jumped in head first and haven't looked back AND I'm still having fun!
Serena - I love that ring shot too! It was taken on a red leather stool. I have another shot of it with some spacing on the right for an album, so I'm stoked to be using that.
Robert - Dude, you are one of the most genuine guys I know. You can hold my bouquets for me anytime!
