I recently sat with an engaged couple and we talked over coffee about what they wanted for their big wedding day. They talked about how she wants him to cry when he sees her for the first time and how much they are looking forward to the moment she walked down the aise.
I found myself getting excited for them as I sipped on my caramel brûlée latte and, okay I can't lie, I may have teared up a bit too! I gave them suggestions on how to make their day run smooth, how to plan out the schedule, we looked up their wedding venue online, flipped through photos and talked about awesome shots we could capture of them.
At one point the groom stopped me; "You are so excited.... don't you ever get tired of it since you've been to so many weddings?"
"Not at all!" Quickly popped out of my mouth.
I didn't have to think twice, and I stand behind it now.
I. love. weddings.
I really don't get tired of them. Each couple brings a fresh take to a wedding day. Every day is different. The dress, the bridal party, the first dance, the things that don't go perfect that you look back and laugh about.
Each one is unique to that specific couple. No day is ever the same, so really, each couple that I sit with is new, its like a whole new story I get to witness them write.
Thank you for letting me capture you stories!

Great story & great photos, Jenn. I can't imagine any photographer getting tired of photographing weddings. As you said, each one is unique in its own way & each wedding presents a "new" challenge. Each of these couples are very fortunate to have you capturing their one time "very special" moment in their lives...that of becoming husband & wife. Keep up the excellent work. Love you, Joanne
