I’ve always loved weddings.
There is something about being a part of the biggest day of someone’s
life that feels…monumental. Months, sometimes years of work; flowers,
linens, dresses, suits, venues—dozens of choices, all culminating in a day
that you’re going to remember for the rest of your life.
Sure, there is typically some drama involved. Goodness knows my
family would end up screaming at each other by the end of the day, but it’s
still worth it. My cousin Michael’s wedding alone was complete and utter
chaos. His mom ended up getting into a fight with the bride’s mom in the
middle of the first dance. Now that I think of it, I don’t know that they’ve
resolved it, and it’s been two years.
Family drama aside, my opinion stands.
I love weddings—that’s why I decided to get into wedding photography
in the first place. My catastrophic love life aside, weddings are everything
right in the world…pure, concentrated love.
“Can you scooch like six inches to the side?” I ask with a wave of
instruction as two tall, statuesque blonde women in champagne-colored
satin bridesmaid dresses step to the right.
While I understand why some couples prefer to do a first look, I still
think it makes it extra special for the couple to see each other for the first
time at the altar. Would a first look make photos a lot easier? Absolutely; I
would have been done and on the road hours ago. However, the photos I
captured of the groom seeing the bride for the first time were worth it.
“Okay, now, Richard, if you could give Annabeth a big ol’ smooch, and
everyone else smile at them.”
The bridal party follows my instruction with ease. Richard wraps his
arms around Annabeth’s waist and pulls her close. She tilts her head back,
eyes closed in anticipation as he leans down to kiss her. The bridesmaids
and groomsmen stand close together, smiling and watching as the couple
shares a passionate moment. I snap several quick shots, capturing the
tenderness of the embrace, before calling out “Perfect!” and lowering my
DSLR.
Sparkling white lights glimmer along the wooden beams and cast a
glow on the rows of seats lining the oversized pergola. Hanging lights
dangle like lanterns from the middle of each support, connected by long
strands of lights. A few raindrops gather on the outer edge and add shine to
the sides of the wood, making it look almost silver. The bride was freaking
out about impending rain, so I’m glad that it held off long enough for their
outdoor ceremony to occur and the guests to go into the hall.
I just hope that it holds off long enough for me to drive the two hours to
Cleveland.
“I believe we are good on the posed shots if you guys would like to start
heading inside,” I say, dismissing the bridal party so they can start lining up
for the reception entrance as I pull my long, sweat-dampened brown hair
away from my neck. I don’t care that it’s July and it rained yesterday—it
should never be this muggy outside.
