Nontraditional, Offbeat and Alternative Wedding Photographers

Hi guys. Something’s been on my mind recently. It’s a little-known secret that I’ve decided to share.

I cry at weddings.

I’ve teared up at pretty much every one. And not necessarily in a sappy, “you may now kiss” kind of way. In a “wow, these two are in some serious love” kind of way. Getting to know my couples and then being there on their wedding day means so much to me. I didn’t even cry at my own wedding (though I had tissues stuck in my bouquet just in case), and honestly, I thought the tearing-up-at-weddings thing would go away as soon as I got married - I had blamed it on getting ready for my own.

But nope, it’s fo’ real. It’s because I love all of you guys. I’ve even been known to get a little teary during portraits after the ceremony’s over. Not huge tears; I’ve never had streams of tears flowing down my face at a wedding I was photographing (that’s a lie. But only once. And it was a friend’s) and I’ve certainly never had trouble taking a photo because of it. In fact, I think it augments my photos - when I’m “feeling it”, when your love is tangible and the excitement of the day is visible to everyone participating, it influences how everybody acts. I believe I take better pictures for it.

So now that my major wedding season’s over, I felt I could let you in on the secret. :)
