“Wait, you’re all in a jazz band together?” Barry asks as he is photographing Nick and his groomsmen. They all whip out their phones and start showing him pictures of them playing together. As it turned out, they ended up playing quite a few (amazing) tunes during the reception!
The reception was just the icing on the cake for Megan and Nick’s wedding day. A beautiful day for a beautiful couple. This couple has it all; they are intelligent, elegant, completely out to have fun, have a deep love for their friends and family, and also have an amazing sense of humor. Megan and Nick’s vows to each other was a back and forth between having people hysterically laughing, as well as shedding a few sentimental tears.
When you finish photographing a wedding, feel sentimental, and think, “Wow, I hope to see them again!” you know that you have connected with the right people. Spending the beginning parts of the morning with Megan and her family (and throughout the remainder of the day), it was like being part of my own family’s celebration. Since the beginning, they have been so warm, welcoming and genuine. And I’m only the photographer! How lucky am I to meet and photograph such wonderful people?
