Amanda & Shaw May 24, 2008

It was towards the end of the reception and everyone was getting ready to send Amanda & Shaw off to their honeymoon and I was sitting at a table going through some of my pictures when Shaw's mother came up to me. She was commenting on their engagement pictures and how beautiful they were. I was telling her thank you and listening to her comments and she just looked at me and said, "You must really love what you do." I replied with a huge grin, "Yeah, I do. I absolutely love what I do." She gave me a hug and said she couldn't wait to see the wedding pictures. I just sat there a moment and looked around. Here I am at someone's wedding being paid to photograph the most important day and intimate moments of their life. Every weekend I find myself falling more and more in love with my job. I get to meet some amazing people and I get to capture things that no one else gets a chance to see. Something that only the bride and groom know the significance of. Something that they will have for the rest of their lives.

I love what I do.







Amanda & Shaw decided to keep things traditional and not see each other before the wedding so they requested this picture. She wanted to lean on the same door as her soon to be husband and hold his hand before the wedding. This was just moments before she walked down the isle.











The wedding was at St. Peter St. Paul Episcopal Church and it was beautiful with so much natural light!

Amanda's Aunt from Bay Flowers did the amazing bouquets!
