What a day ! Having shot a few weddings in the past, I always go into the day wondering if it will go smooth or will it be full of stress and frazzled nerves for the wedding party. I am used to the process of "the wedding day", but this is usually the first time for most of the people I am about to photograph.I never know how they will react to the unexpected challenges that always occur on the big day. The day started well. I was able to get Echo outside between sprinkles and got some great shots of her on a vintage chair. I say great shots like I had anything to do with it.When I have a bride as beautiful as Echo to put in front of the lens, I just click away, smiling the whole time because I knew these were going to be great! The camera really likes Echo! And her lucky husband is no slouch either when it comes to having a picture or two taken. I sometimes have to coax the guys, but not Jeremy. He was a gem to shot and those blue eyes. WOW! I think I know how he swept Echo off her feet. After the individual shots were complete, it was time to start the ceremony. One problem. Half the guests had still not arrived due to traffic on the interstate. Here is were the plans of the wedding day were coming unraveled. I thought "OK, now people are going to start stressing out". But it never happened. There were a couple additional challenges that popped up but they were dealt with and every one soldiered on. It was so refreshing to see family and friends focus and treat this day for what it's true purpose was - the coming together to witness and celebrate the love of two people and the beginning of a new family. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The venue was intimate and wonderfully decorated. Now i have to say here that in most weddings, the bride is the main attraction. However, at this wedding, I think the ring bearer may have stolen the show! He is Jeremy and Echo's baby and all three just light up when they are together. He is the little guy swinging between Jeremy & Echo. Such a cutie!
Congratulations Jeremy & Echo! I had so much fun being a part of your special day and I pray you have a long and happy life together!
