When I haven’t actually met a bride & groom face to face, I always get a little nervous when I travel to shoot their wedding. Why? Because during a meeting, I get a feel for their personalities and an idea of what to expect the day of. This is why engagement sessions are important to me. It not only allows me to see how they interact with each other and get to know them better but it allows the bride and groom to get comfortable with me and my shooting style. When I don’t have a first meeting or engagement session, I’m not quite sure who I’m meeting the day of….
So, when I traveled to NJ last weekend to shoot Shawn and Erin’s wedding, I admit I was a tad nervous but upon my arrival to Shawn’s parent’s house where Erin was getting ready, my fears were immediately put to rest. Erin, Sue (groom’s Mom), Karen (bride’s aunt), Alyssa (little sister) and the rest of the ladies who were there were so welcoming and warm. I felt like part of the family by the time I drove to the ceremony location. When I met Shawn, I felt the same. Just down to earth, beautiful people. My, oh my, how I love my job. I get to meet amazing people from all over the world. Erin and Shawn are some of the finest. It was blessing and a privilege to shoot your wedding! I wish you nothing short of the most amazing life a husband and wife can have. Enjoy your sneak peeks!
