Suzanne and John

June 24, 2006

Gettting Ready: Historic Pfister Hotel

Ceremony: St John’s Cathedral

Reception: Miller Pavillion, O’Donell Park

One of my favorite part of the wedding day is the getting ready. It’s the part of the day that I really get a sense of what the wedding is going to be like. Is the bride nervous? Is there one of “those” bridesmaids? And it’s not always that I get to photograph the guys getting ready, but in this case I was able to see John get ready for his bride. I cannot imagine that anyone who has met John has not liked him immediately. For me, that moment came when he asked me how Suzanne was doing and I said she was doing great, and he responded “She’s really hot, isn’t she?” Which TOTALLY caught me off guard and cracked me up.

But it’s true, Suzanne looked like she walked off the pages of Bride’s magazine. And not just because of her natural beauty, but she just had a glow about her that everyone could see because she truly enjoyed her wedding day. Surrounded by the people who meant the most to her, you could see that happiness radiating everywhere. I love that. I love being able to photograph that. You can’t bottle that stuff. Even if you are hot.
