AND NOW A FEW WORDS FROM THE GROOM!!!

Okay, you didn't think we would ignore the groom, did you, really? Although the bride is the main course, without the groom, it would just be a very expensive night out with friends. At the beginning of each wedding day, we see all types of grooms; the nervous, the somber and the excited. By the end of the night when all of the pomp and circumstance is through, they are all very happy and excited men.  Is it the recognition of the start of their lives together, the upcoming wedding night or just the relaxed state of a man at peace with his world? I think a little of each but I do know one thing. Throughout the whole day, when we see the groom look at his new wife, we always see truest form of love in their eyes.

 How sweet it is to be loved by you 

                                                          How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were 

                                        I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were 
                                       With sweet love and devotion 
                                        Deeply touching my emotion 
                                        I want to stop and thank you baby 
                                        I just want to stop and thank you baby 

 How sweet it is to be loved by you 

                                                           How sweet it is to be loved by you 

                                                            
                                 This might not be a groom only image but I love it and it shows his             

personality.

 But you brighten up for me all of my days 

                                                     With a love so sweet in so many ways 
                                                     I want to stop and thank you baby 
                                                     I just want to stop and thank you baby 

                                            You were better for me than I was for myself 
                                            For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else 
                                            I want to stop and thank you baby 

                                            I just want to stop and thank you baby

THE FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE

The Father Daughter dance is a highlight of the reception. We always enjoy photographing the interplay between the father and his daughter. They are all different but they are always emotional. It could be tears of that bittersweet moment when the father knows this is the day he has been waiting for her entire life: the day she leaves him for her true love, her husband. It can also be filled with laughter as they share a memory together on the dance floor.  What we always see is the pride, gratitude and love in both faces. Whatever the moment, it is always an emotional one for all, including the photographers.

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away

I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her

It was only a matter of time.

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you

I loved her first

THE BRIDE

When we first meet with a couple to explain our services, I try to explain our style. I usually tell them  that we feel that the bride is the main course on the wedding day and the groom is a condiment. It is said in jest but there is some truth to it. In many ways it is the bride's day, I am not excluding the groom or relegating him to second status but it is the bride that usually captures the day. With that in mind, here are some of our brides on their wedding day.

I know your eyes in the morning sun. 
 I feel you touch me in the pouring rain. 
 And the moment that you wander far from me, 
 I wanna feel you in my arms again. 

And you come to me on a summer breeze, 

Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave.
 And it's me you need to show: How deep is your love?
 How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
 I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools 
 Breakin’ us down, when they all should let us be.

We belong to you and me. 

I believe in you. You know the door to my very soul.
 You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour. 
 You're my savior when I fall. 
 And you may not think I care for you,
 When you know down inside that I really do.
 And it's me you need to show: How deep is your love?
 How deep is your love? How deep is your love? 
 I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools 
 Breakin’ us down, when they all should let us be.
 We belong to you and me.

How deep is your love? How deep is your love? 
 I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools 
 Breakin’ us down, when they all should let us be.
 We belong to you and me.


How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
 I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools 
 Breakin’ us down, when they all should let us be.
 We belong to you and me.






I know your eyes in the morning sun. 
 I feel you touch me in the pouring rain. 
 And the moment that you wander far from me, 
 I wanna feel you in my arms again.
