I decided to pull out some of my favorite wedding day photos to create a gallery for clients to see the variety of images that I personally love. I couldn't fit anywhere near the 150 of my all time favorite wedding photos on the main pages, so here we are. Sometimes I love the photo, but usually it's because I love the people in them, or the photo was one I worked really hard for, or the stars all aligned to make magic or there's a great story going on in that photo that brings me back to a really special wedding day, like the photo I added "June 26th" to a photo. Just happened to be the day gay marriage became legal while I was photographing an amazing same sex couple. It was such a fabulous and amazingly emotional wedding day for all of us and this is still one of my all time favorite couples. So all of these are photos that still touch my heart and bring me back to a wedding day I loved.
A lot of these photos are more subtle. Even my sweet hubby was wondering, "What's up with the bride getting ready in a horse stall?". See, things like that delight me. The venue is a horse racing stable and I love that the venue pulled out all the stops to write "Happy Wedding Day" on a white board for the bride, but she's still getting ready in a working horse stall. The "glamor" of the day versus the reality of it always crack me up.
I also love all the stories behind all of these photos. They are my darlings and sometimes it's hard to "kill your darlings". This could mean I found a fleeting moment or I set something up that was really challenging and still pulled it off or it basically appeals to my quirky sense of humor. Enjoy!
Thanks for your patience and hope you'll check out more galleries while you're here.
