I meet a lot of people from all kinds of backgrounds, cultures and walks of life.  I say this in all honestly, never in 10 years of photographing weddings  (and I have literally done hundreds of weddings) have I had the privileged of working with such wonderful people.

Their attention to detail, love of one another, and kind demeanor was very refreshing.  I hate to admit it, but I sometimes feel like I’m living in a reality television series.  Some of  the stories I could tell about the strange and sometimes frightening things I’ve observed would fill volumes, but I’d rather focus on the good times.

The wedding day started around noon for me, but the team of make up artists and hair stylists had been at work for several hours before I arrived.  Once boutonnieres were pinned in place and every last lock of hair curled, the entire bridal party, myself, and Terice (my assistant), went to the SAM Sculpture Gardens for some photos.

It took several trips to get us all there and back.

One shot of Megan was done in the parking garage while we were waiting for a ride. She exclaimed, “I love Cement!” Which is not something I’m used to hearing from a bride. Normally my clients don’t share my love for industrial design, but since Megan is an Architect we found out quickly that our tastes ran parallel.

Next came the ceremony. The vows were heartfelt and even printed lovingly on card-stock and bound. Steven is a Lawyer and obviously gifted when it comes to the written word. I normally tear up in weddings, but in addition to tears during this ceremony I applauded most approvingly with the crowd.

The reception was perfect. Friends and family shared laughs and tears during the toasting and the dancing that followed. I went home, feeling a renewed faith in love and the power it has to ennoble all of us. Thank you Megan and Steven and may God bless your union always.
