the two busiest times of year for us with weddings are fall and spring.  these also happen to be the busiest times of year for portraits, and sometimes, we get to having so much fun with our clients, and getting images on their walls, that we don’t always get their stories told for our blog readers!  case in point with a whole slew of sessions and weddings from this last year (boy, do i sound like my grandma now)… and i’m going to try my best to get those posted!

we’ll start with tim and paige.  we loved them from our first conversation, and paige’s heart for her man, and for their families, and for their place in the world and their calling to great things was evident.  i loved tim’s “tech geek” side, and how gentle he is with paige.  he’s a gentlemen all around, and between them, they’re a picture of grace.

isn’t her smile contagious?

paige and tim chose to do a “first sight.”  if you haven’t met us yet, you may not have heard how in love we are with “first sight” moments.  why?  well, i’m glad you asked. 

first of all, most of the time, wedding days are pretty darn busy.  between hair appointments and makeup sessions, to family you don’t get to see often enough, to huge amounts of tiny details that are big to you because you’ve invested in them and want your day to be just perfect, there’s a lot for a bride (and groom) to think about.

and sometimes, that means that the person the whole day is for, gets the last of the attention.  before you know it, the whole crazy-fast-and-wonderful day is over, and you realize you never looked each other in the eye.  (except maybe for a second, nervously, as you said, “i do,” or sweet-and-wonderfully-quick as you spun through your first dance.)

but taking a few moments just for the two of you, right at the start of the day, to exchange a few
I love you’s”, maybe give gifts or a letter or a prayer (oh, yes, those are awesome…), puts everything back into order.  it calms excited brides and settles nervous grooms and reminds you that all is right in the world.  and magically, it seems to make the rest of the day so much more relaxed!

see? 

i think paige and tim would’ve been just fine either way, but man, those few moments together were amazing.  and they set the tone for an awesome day!

thank you so much, tim and paige, for letting us share in your whimsical, warm, and romantic day.  your details were stunning, your friends and family were wonderful, and your love is beautiful to behold.

xoxo!!  -brian and angela.
