My aunt Nancy got engaged on Christmas and asked me to photograph her May 1st wedding, my first of the season. After photographing both of her daughter’s weddings, in 2006<\/a> and 2008<\/a>, I couldn’t wait to photograph hers as well. It’s always a bit of a challenge to be a guest and the photographer, but it’s a nice way to start off the wedding season. <\/p>\n

I was excited to photograph the getting ready, as it was just me, my aunt, and my cousins Rebeccah and Jessica.<\/p>\n

Married! I love the happiness on Nancy and Brian’s faces!<\/p>\n

There is a moment at nearly every wedding that I am honored to be a part of, and normally I am the only person to witness it. The bride and groom have said their vows in front of all their friends and family, and have walked back down the aisle as a married couple. Before everyone comes out of their pews, the couple embrace and share a moment together to let it all sink in. I try to back off (shoot with a telephoto lens) and be respectful of this sacred moment, but take great pride in recording it forever. This is Nancy and Brian’s moment:<\/p>\n

We head outside for pictures on a beautiful day in May!<\/p>\n
