Deidre + Scott = Hitched

Saturday Evan and I had a great time photographing Deidre & Scott's wedding. Over 10 years together Deidre and Scott finally tied the knot.My sister had sent her over to me and mentioned that her friend was getting married and needed a photographer.. I remember the 1st time I spoke with D. Over the phone our conversation lasted at least an hour.. and from there we became facebook friends and chatted about the photography she wanted to capture on her day.. " just have fun with us.. get the fun poses". Deidre has become a great supporter and fan of my work. A few months ago she asked me to do some family picture's and after that day and speaking with her about her wedding I knew it was going to be a blast working for them.

They are a very cute couple.. so happy and so much in love. Their little guy well not so little is a spitting image of his daddy, and very well mannered for his age.Days leading up to the wedding d. wasn't very nervous.. I think all she had on her mind was some mess up's that do occur before the wedding, and her hot men New Kids concert that she was going to after the wedding.
When the day finally came, I got to Deidre's house and there she was.. hair all done up and in a t-shirt with less than an hour to get married.. Once she put on her beautiful dress she sparkled. Her and I went off and took some bridal shots as the other girls where getting ready, and in between shots, or moments of getting ready tears of joy would flow.
Moments with clients like this give me goose bumps! As I watch the brides wipe the tears away, i sit back and just think about how special their day is, and that I am the luckiest photographer to be apart of their day and to witness their love for each other. I also get these goose bumps during the vows. Speaking of vows.. Deidre was choking on hers.. but as everyone including herself laughed it off I took a moment and looked at Greg their son.. standing by his dad.. and holding back the tears. I know that he was so happy that his mommy and daddy where finally becoming one. Some people say that all marriage is just a piece of paper showing that they are married.. but I think when children are involved it's so much more than that, and you can surely see it in Greg! But by the middle of the night all Greg wanted was cake lol.
Once again Evan and I had a great time sharing your day with you and Scott. I know inside Evan is loving that picture you wanted of him wearing your tiara as well :)

Aww Thank you very much Ashley! It has been great working with you. You are an awesome photographer and a wonderful person. I hope you and I can remain in contact and form a friendship after all our sessions are complete. You and Evan made us laugh...specially Evan being the trooper and putting on my tiara. Oh he will never live that down!! LOL I'll make sure my mom brings that for the people at work to check out HAHA.
Thank you again for your kind and wonderful words. It has been such a pleasure and I'm kinda sad to see it end tomorrow. I'll have to come up with random reasons for you to photograph us hehe.
