The Best Day.


 This is the "Best Day". When I heard the words come out I had to glimpse at myself in the mirror behind her to make sure she was talking to me.. and to fight a tear that was coming. Since I already had a moment with this special bride hours before that had resulted in tears.. Don't worry they were good ones.. I was so happy for her, and so happy she chose me to be her photographer. In a sense I sort of felt like both our dreams were coming true. I know I'm goofy but that's really how I felt. Shooting their wedding choked me up several times. The brides maids were equally wonderful seeing to all of her needs, and at the some time seeing to their own. It was allot of work from start to finish,but she made it. Her fear of looking like a fool in front of the people attending the wedding was short lived. she marched down that Isle with her dad and her son,her dad's kiss on her cheek,and said "I Do".  then at the reception I captured some amazing UN-posed moments of two people who love each other so much. the first dance as "husband and wife" was very magical, after a very emotional father daughter dance.Everyone cried as the bride danced with her dad to the song Butterfly Kisses. I had a hard time capturing these precious moments behind tearful eye's . I was so happy for her to have that moment with her father, and didn't start crying till she did.
 

 It was truly a magical moment. Not a dry eye in the house. It all retrospect It really was the "Best Day"   and when she thanked me I felt so good inside. For those of you who don't know. This was my first wedding there were allot of firsts for me this weekend, First pedicure, yes folks its true. I have never had a pedi before this weekend, nor have I ever taken pictures during a ceremony at church, and watched my niece get married,or cried while I was photographing anything before, and it was completely wonderful. I pray that I will get more wedding's, they're allot of planning, and I love them. that's all there is to say. this was a wonderful day for Jessica and Jaime and I hope to record many more.  enjoy ...

  1. WOW! That is all I can say. You truly are one of the best photographers I have ever seen. I am so glad I choose you because you did such a great job and also because I got to share my special day with you, someone I love so, so, so very much. Me and you have a special bond I think and you doing this for me and Jaime has just made that bond even stronger. Thank you for all you have done and what you continue to do. I love you!
