When I showed up at the beautiful home that Marin and Sam were to be married at in Merrimac, I met Marin in the driveway. Never have met her before, she introduced herself and then whispered to me good humorously "This wedding stuff...it's INSANE... and those people in there (gestures to the house) they are NUTS" and I smiled at her and said "Welcome to every Saturday of my life"
It's pretty normal that when I show up during the getting ready that things are crazy. And it's by far my most favorite part of the day. It's when the culmination of a lot of months of planning all comes to a head and the emotions are highest. And as it always does, things turned out great.
Props to the awesome wedding coordinator Jayme Galanos from Beyond Elegant Events for putting together the event. This was the first time I had worked with Jayme and we had a blast together, our personalities definitely sync. I'm looking forward to working with her more and talking about our dogs on Facebook.
Also, I just must mention that I loved that Sam's mom was a crier during the Mother/Son dance. Having boys myself I just loved the way she looked at him during the dance. I've captured hundreds of weepy dads giving away their little girls, but it struck me while photographing Sam and his mom that I don't often have the chance to photograph the mother/son bond. It was kinda awesome.
Congratulations Marin and Sam! You can see the wedding slideshow with music here
