Meant to be...





Jeremy and Katherine will soon make a serious wedding night party out of Cinco de Mayo this year and I am the lucky girl who gets to be there to capture every moment of their ceremony.  It is surely a dream for them to finally have this day together and this pic surely exposes just how perfectly at home with each other they already are.  This is why I love photography, because a photo can tell you what 1,000 words could never tell.  


Their wedding is also a dream come true for me.  I have always wanted an excuse to take my eye for photography and design more seriously.  Shortly after shooting pictures for a close mutual friend of ours (you will see his pictures very shortly), Katherine approached me and all but insisted that I photograph her wedding.  I almost forced her to accept "no" for an answer.  However, as I've gotten to know her I've come to learn that that probably never would have happened.  :)  And this is why I think I am so glad I didn't say no.  Because of Katherine, I have already expanded my portfolio in ways I never thought possible.  Sometimes, we just need someone to pull us out of our comfort zone and force us into the spotlight (or, in my case, the shadows of her spotlight on the big day, of course!)


So, here goes my new digital era (I'm really not that old, but old enough to have learned about photography in a dark room...) journey as a photographer and I am overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement that I get to kick it off with such a wonderful couple!  Thanks for coming along...


More pictures will be coming, of course, but I thought it important to start with this one.
