the happiest day

I thought about calling this post ” the happiest bride, ever.  Seriously.”

A wedding day is a great, beautiful thing- the joining of two people, the beginning of a new family…  We all know that.  Still, the flowers can be perfect, the music, the dresses, the food, cake… all that can be in impeccable taste and lovely as ever.  But I think, more than anything, it’s the bride that sets the mood of the day, the tone, the atmosphere with something as simple as her mood.  If she is thrilled and glowing, everyone will be.  I know that I feed off of that and find it so easy to be inspired.  In that sense, Brittney was inspiring.  Her wedding was simply joyful and she was radiant! If there were nerves involved, I never knew it!  This wedding was in Indiana.  I was so shocked that she wanted me to come up there to shoot her wedding!  Wow… really an honor to just be asked!  But being the pushover that I am, I accepted payment.  It really was terrible of me, because Stu, the baby and I flew up there together and had a great weekend.  Even though I had to work, it was really relaxing and we both had a great time. 

Another little sidenote about Brittney:  I know without hesitation that there are few truly gentle and special spirits living in this world and we are all better people for having met them…. I am blessed to know several people like that and now I know one more. 

Here’s Brittney and Ross’s wedding day…….

of my fav shots of the day…

I liked the those two pictures so much better than the posed one..

The light was beautiful streaming into the church when she walked in..

I’m not sure why, but I love the yummy light reflected in the glass-

so happy…

a quiet moment with her dad..
