I've known the groom since he was about a year old. I've known his mother since we were about 10 to 12 years old. We met at summer church camp, but a glitch of time occurred somewhere along the way, and we lost touch until we were both older, married, and had families. By divine intervention, God renewed our friendship through church when we moved to Walnut Street.
I love weddings. Although I played the organ (officially) for this one, I grabbed the camera and made some posed, but mostly behind the scenes candid shots for the groom's mom, one of my dearest friends whom I dearly love.
This was a gift to the family which I hope they can enjoy. It gave me a great deal of pleasure to be able to share a talent and provide some pleasurable lasting memories of the day and the event. There are so many things that actually go on behind the scenes and the "real" photographer never gets those because he or she is so busy getting posed shots of the happy couple.
Mothers, family members, and dozens of friends are usually working behind the scenes to get decorations ready, corsages pinned, food on the buffet tables, ushers seating guests, and dozens of other details not to mention all the showers, parties, videos, and rehearsal dinners that came off before the big day. As you see just a few of the photos I've made, I hope your heart is lightened and romance becomes alive and anew. And that is what I love about weddings.
