What a beautiful wedding - so many smiles, and so much laughter. As Patty and Chris joined their two small families together, amid their closest family and friends, I found myself smiling a lot too. It's clear to see that these two are heading toward a very happy life together.  

Photographing a wedding is a great honor - and a great responsibility. The night before I am shooting a wedding, I go through all of my equipment multiple times: I wipe lenses, charge batteries, double-check that all memory cards are clear and working, count batteries, and so on. Usually, once I get in the car, I pull over once more to check and make sure I've brought everything. I may sound neurotic, but there is no room for error. So, it's a responsibility that I take very seriously. 

I'd like to note, by the way, that every couple whose wedding I've photographed is still happily married. It might be a little whimsical to imagine that when times get rough, as they do for everyone, that these couples look at the photos and remember just how happy they were that day. But I'd like to imagine that when happily married couples look back at their wedding photos, they are taken back to that moment in time, so I want to capture it the way they experienced it. I hope Patty & Chris relive every smile, and all the laughter.
