mr. & mrs.

i haven't shot a wedding in a few years so when presented with the opportunity i immediately said no.
after thinking about why, i really couldn't come up with a reason. i loved shooting weddings before i met my husband but it always consumed my weekends which meant time away from him. i would not sleep the night before with the looming responsibility of capturing one of the most memorable events of a couples life, i would check, recheck and triple check my equipment the night before and day of to make sure there wouldn't be any surprises and then there was always the fear of meeting bridezilla which i am fortunate i have never met in the countless weddings i have shot. in this case, the mother of the groom saw an engagement portrait i shot featured in the NY Times, she looked up my site and was delighted to see we were both from boston. after turning her down, i decided i was up for the challenge and became really excited by the opportunity and called her back. after mtg my bride and groom, i was so relieved that they were the most normal, sweet, funny, smartest couple i had met in a while.  their casual wedding was sophisticated, fun and elegant. congratulations to the newly married mr. & mrs!!! best of luck to you and may you continue to have a ball!
