Capturing Your: Bliss

IMG_0587-copyLast month, I was given another opportunity to second shoot with Paul from Paul Steinke Photography. This is only my second wedding and again am so grateful for Paul’s invitation to shoot with him by his side. I honestly never thought that I would enjoy shooting weddings because there are no second chances, but working with an amazing photographer, being in the moment, and having a beautiful bride and location…gives me all the motivation and drive to rise to the occasion. I feel that I have learned so much but also realize how much MORE I have to learn.

Part of the fun in shooting a wedding is seeing all the details, thought and love poured into making this day, a day that will forever stand in the hearts of the bride and groom. As a bride 7 years ago, I can appreciate all the hard months of preparation and thought that was put in to make this day truly special and unique. Sarah was no different. She had beautiful details..everything from her mother’s wedding veil, to the flowers, food, and party favors. Although the weather was forever changing and rain threatened the day…nothing could spoil the day. And it was their absolutely lucky day…..they had a double rainbow during their couple pictures. I am guessing they should have played the lotto that day….but then again, what is luckier than finding your best friend to do life with? Congratulations Sarah and Richard! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. I wish you all the best!
