erin and gary's bridal album
what i have noticed throughout my career is the attention to detail that a bride and groom share quietly to those who celebrate with them on their wedding day.


it is these stories that bring to life two peoples lives that mean the world to them and carry significant meaning to them and their family.
from a jeweled humming bird in a hand made bridal bouquet that was crafted by the brides mothers childhood bestfriend,

to an anchor pin honoring the bride and grooms family serving in the United States Navy,

to a red delicate butterfly hidden within the blooming alter and adorning the guests seating area,

to a pair of red foe croc skin boots that the brides brother wore that "fai-red" so nicely with his suit.

these simple, subtle but poignant accents highlighted the bride and grooms passion of life, love and laughter.

to date, erin's laugh has to be the most contagious laugh ever. you can't help but to smile when she laughs cause you know that it is the kind of laugh that comes from the heart and deep within her belly.


and, gary is right up there with her. the two of them compliment each other without question.




as a surprise,

i set up a portrait location for erin and gary to give back to them the "2mins." that i promise all our couples. (if you are our bride or groom, you know what this is. if not, you'll know after this story) anyway, i snuck the bride and groom away towards the end of the night so they could reconnect for 2 minutes. i set the camera up, just outside the picture window of the restaurant, and gave them a piece of their cake to share. the rest was purely what called for the moment... a kiss to say 'i love you' and a sigh to say 'we made it'. "sweet".
the end of the night came soooooooooo quickly and it didn't go without saying...we had a very nice and pleasant time with erin, gary, their family and all their friends.
salute.
