I wish there were enough time to blog more these days, but with weddings and albums and seniors and eSessions and dogs….the summer has flown by. But I had to get a few of my favorites up from Jenni and Josh’s wedding. This was a couple who had one of the most beautiful eSessions I have ever done, right in the middle of a spectacular fall. We put together a gorgeous signing book for their wedding and it was a huge hit and certainly something they will cherish forever. Their wedding day was a little warmer than that!! But, we toughed it out and shot some fantastic images.

I have to say that the flowers and dress were beautiful, as was this gorgeous bride. But, one of my favorite parts of the wedding was Jenni’s dad’s uniform. Of course it was colorful and shiny, which immediately attracts me and forces me to become embarrassingly observant and curious. But, it really was more than that. Weddings are all about tradition, family, and love. They are about several relationships that are really just beginning, and they are about the relationships that are so familiar. So to me, that uniform, while a beautiful accoutrement that any bride would envy, was really a comforting symbol of the strength of family that Jenni probably remembers throughout her Life. And, I think if one were to observe this new family as the day unfolded, it would become abundantly clear that this uniform, while intimidating in presence, was all about love and acceptance. Josh, I think the coast is clear ;)

Jenni and Josh, here’s to a very bright future.. Much love and happiness to you both and to your wonderful families and thanks so much for letting me be a part of your special day!
