We are introduced through friends or we have been good friends for along time or we went to high school together. However the introduction, we hit it off & in the name of photography, we meet for coffee or dinner and we catch-up on life. We chat and laugh and I fall a little more in love. We set a date. It’s on that date where we visit a local winery, go 4-wheeling, take a walk in the country, or hang-out downtown. I’m introduced to new hobbies, new places. I fall a little more in love.
And then it’s the wedding day & it’s the ultimate date: meet-the-parents, first dance, all rolled into one day…oh, and I get to have my cake & eat it too! & I fall a little more in love. For me, shooting weddings is a total love affair. I fall a little more in love with each bride & groom who invite me to their wedding to capture their love story.
It was the same with Becky & Carl. Their wedding day was like the ultimate date for me to get to know them. I hung-out with Becky & her girls at the salon. I got to laugh along with Becky’s mom all morning & now I totally understand from whom Becky gets her energy & witty tongue. I watched the adorable bond that Becky has with Carl’s little sister. Becky scheduled her next trip back to the salon, this one will be to give her hair to Locks of Love. It was easy to see what Carl has to love in Becky.
At the church Carl had roses & a letter waiting for Becky. It had the most important message of the day: I love you. He was all anticipation up to the ceremony, all smiles during the ceremony & all full of care and consideration for Becky the rest of the day. Carl held her veil for her in the crazy wind, picked-up her long dress when she was walking, held her close when he had the chance, made her giggle most of the day & well, had his eyes and concern on the only girl that mattered the whole day. It was easy to see what Becky has to love in Carl.
Thank you Becky & Carl for the ultimate date! Can’t wait for our next when you’ll get to see your entire wedding story!
Last, I just had to share this one! There is just something I love about the near anonymity of the act.
