This is a sneak peek from the wedding Taryn and I shot last weekend in San Diego. Kristen and Joe booked me about a year and a half before their wedding date which isn’t that unusual, but what was unusual was how much fun I’ve had with them since the day we booked. The first image you’ll see below of Kristen is a perfect representation of her. Bubbling over with smiles, enthusiasm, and character. We just so happen to share a mutual friend named Jericho, who is nothing short of hilarious herself, so when it came time to book their engagement low and behold Jericho was our fourth partner in crime and I think we all ended up having more fun drinking beer and laughing at one another than we did shooting actual photographs. Since that day last summer every time Kristen and Joe came to town for wedding planning and fun with Jericho I was graciously invited along for the madness and more good times were had.
So when it came down to the day of needless to say I felt an overwhelming personal touch on this one. I’m always trying to tune into what my Brides and Grooms are feeling and thinking to capture it all, and sometimes you can’t help but get caught up in the day yourself to live a bit of the emotion and magic that’s floating around the air. I think that’s why I enjoy shooting weddings so much. You really get to first hand be a part of someones special day, and it can be very rewarding to hand them over those emotions a few weeks later when they see the photos for the first time.
