me - on location - shooting a wedding. my wedding photographer assistant, doris, took this shot of me while we were waiting on the bride to get dressed.it's pretty amazing that i get paid to do something i enjoy so much. i love being a part of the big day and capturing those romantic moments as they unfold from morning to night. i've deduced in my discussions with other photographers that it causes many to become anxious - after all, you only have one chance to digitally document those once in a lifetime moments. but i truly am energized by the challenge of combining good photography with the ability to quickly think on my feet - to continually be in the mode of seeking, finding and documenting those special moments. and those moments happen all around me - the window light casting a warm glow on the flower girls' face, the gleam from the silver pin in the bride's up do, the emotion on a grandmother's face as the couple says their vows.....it's a lot of work! i have to be at the top of my game - ready - alert...because you never know when something tender or hilarious may happen!
i absolutely love being a part of the joyous and spiritual celebration of a wedding -
lucky me.

I photographed my first wedding last spring. It was both exciting and scary at the same time. I loved every minute of it.
Beautiful posting. There is a book I think you would enjoy - Nora Roberts - Vision in White.
You have some beautiful pics on your blog.
