Afterwards they went to a picturesque spot overlooking the ocean, Selma and Pete’s family and bridal party captured timeless memories against the stunning backdrop of rolling waves and endless sky. The first dance was a heartwarming highlight, and the […]

Beauty in the Chaos

When you think about seasons changing, Post Malone’s song “Circles” might pop in your head, or maybe you’ll think about your new wedding date, now possibly in another season. Rescheduling a wedding is nerve-wracking because of all the uncertainty that comes with it. Namely, the weather. Maybe you were originally banking on a warm summer night, and now you are gambling with the unknowns of an October evening. One thing to remember is that even in the summer, perfect weather […]

Your Special Day, Another Day

Around this time, you thought you would be hearing wedding bells. But instead, you keep hearing the word “unprecedented.” All plans feel ruined. And a part of you might feel guilty. Your wedding tears feel wrong when you know how overwhelmed hospitals are, how sick people are getting, how loved ones are separated. But your tears aren’t wrong. You have every right to be devastated. Your first thought might be: My wedding is cancelled. Because now you have to contact […]

Enough to Love Us

When you think of bridesmaids, you might picture this: Four girls lined up on each side of the bride, making eight total. Personally, I picture them all wearing maroon dresses, the sleeves slightly off the shoulder. Everything is balanced, the girls’ dresses pop against the white gown, and you think, wow—so many beautiful, perfect friends. But for me, I feel like I barely know eight people. Big wedding parties are great for many reasons. For one, there are so many […]

Are Two (Photographers) Really Better Than One?

When you’re looking for a wedding photographer, it’s easy to focus on the singular word: photographer. As in just one. Isn’t that what everyone has? Just one wedding photographer? That’s what I thought when planning my wedding. I didn’t realize how important it was for a photographer to have a second shooter. In fact, I didn’t even know what that meant or how much that would change the way everything played out on my big day. Luckily, my second shooter, […]

One Look at You

The Earth grinds to a halt when a groom sees his bride in her dress for the first time. His jaw drops, his eyes fill, and the room is full of gasping and honking nose-blowers. At least this is what happens in Hallmark movies, slumber party fantasies, and in pictures tucked away in yellowing scrapbooks. But in reality, rows and rows of watching eyes can stick to you and weigh down your every step, every word. It might be difficult […]

Through a Different Lens

I thought I would never get married. Someone I used to be with for a long time believed that marriage was just a label, something that people think they need in order to be happy. He said it enough that I started to believe him. And if we did get married, we said we wouldn’t hire a professional wedding photographer, or have much of a wedding at all. It would be quiet and simple, something that could fit in a […]
