A funny little secret about our work is that we fall a little bit in love with our clients as we photograph their weddings. Think about it, we are right there for these wonderfully emotional and epic moments. The excitement, the anticipation, the weepy happiness…and because we have to stay observant, we see and feel nearly everything that happens. About a week later, I’m still in possession of my little crush on Mollie and Ryan. Mollie is the most together, organized and with-it bride we’ve ever met. And Ryan is this cool customer, taking it all in with a kind of calm self-possession. And the other thing is that they have these awesome families. Everyone lives far away, but you’d never know it, since they all seem as close as a box of kittens. And it goes on–aunts, uncles, friends from college. This couple is surely rich in love and affection.
This wedding unfolded like a perfect summer day. Rush and flutter at first, then everyone coming together in for a meaningful ceremony and finally settling in for a delightful evening’s celebration. Mollie’s father gave the sweetest toast, then Ryan’s brother, in the dual role of best man/poet, read a moving tribute to love that still has me smiling. Finish the whole thing with a romantic swirl on the dance floor….call it a perfect day.
Mollie and Ryan, thanks for having us along as your photogs. I’m so glad we could steal you away in the vineyard for 10 minutes–those pics are my most favorite of the day.
Here’s a little peek of what’s to come. And here’s the link to all the photos from the day.
