Getting to be part of a wedding is a great honor and privilege for me in and of itself. I get to capture a couple’s love story as it unfolds before me. This one was filled, literally stuffed, with moments worth capturing and remembering. Like this quote from a journal entry that Sarah had framed sitting on a table at her wedding reception. It was just one of many special details that marked their beautiful wedding day.
“He(Mike) is nice, caring, funny, smart, very cool, and he treats me like a person not some gross girl. I am planning on telling him that I’ve liked him since November-95′, soon. I really hope he likes, loves me too.” – Sarah B.
As you can see, Mike and Sarah’s love isn’t a new development, but one long in the works and on September 28th Sarah got her wish. She married the one that loves her like no other in the wedding of her dreams.
Mike and Sarah,
We wish you the best as you begin the journey of marriage. We are grateful to have been part of your AMAZING day. We hope in some small way these images will remind you and your family of what we and others will always remember about your day. Mike’s first glimpse of you walking down the aisle, Pa-Bud performing the ceremony, your Dad’s gentle kiss on your cheek before the ceremony, the laughter and deep friendship of your amazing bridal party, the unbelievable toasts and Dad’s speech at the reception, Dad leading some rousing dancing with the Bozick clan, the lovingly crafted reception, the sincerity and simple love you have for each other and your family. These are just a few things that will always mark your day for us.
Thank you for trusting us to capture your story and the beauty of your wedding. I’ve been struggling all day to write this post, and I feel anything more will come up short to adequately explain you as a couple or the experience of photographing your wedding. So, I will cease with the words and let the images tell their story. Enjoy the sneak peeks.
Sincerely-James and Amanda
