From a past bride to a current bride, I just want to be a friendly voice to remind you that timelines, details, flowers, etc. while stunningly beautiful and I love them too (like, a lot), are just things, and they don't last. At the end of the day, the most important things aren't really things at all. So, take a deep breath, and remember that being in the moment and investing in the people around you through relationships is always time well spent. Past brides, what are some words of wisdom you would give a current or soon-to-be bride?
I blame my husband for the fact that the first quote I thought of for this photo was "the sea was angry that day, my friends" (he's an unapologetic Seinfeld fanatic 🤦‍♀️). But on a mostly unrelated note, I've been working on some details for travel this fall which includes finding myself back in Maine and Colorado for a couple of sessions. And I can't wait. While I did spot a whale on my last trip to Maine, I think chances are slim for finding one beached with a golf ball in its blowhole...
Walking hand-in-hand with your best friend for the rest of your days is an undeserved gift. The genuine joy and intimate feelings surrounding a relationship are something I want to take the time to get to know specifically for every wedding. Early on, I used to fill my calendar to the brim with weddings, but I missed the connection and the time it took to really get to know who I was photographing. So, I took a step back and decided to limit the number of weddings I take in order to love and serve each couple as I thought they deserved to be. And it’s been one of the most rewarding decisions to date. Love all the kind souls that invite me into their story.
My sentimental heart loved that Mary Beth wore her nana's diamond necklace and that her bouquet was wrapped with pieces from her mom's and mother-in-law's wedding dresses. They aren't just accessories for their own sake, but sweet memories from loved ones to carry.
