Carrie + Steve [Wedding]

Posted on May 11, 2010

I have to admit being a little nervous prior to Steve and Carrie’s wedding. I’ve been shooting weddings for five years now, and I still get nervous before a wedding. I don’t even know why. Isn’t that weird? I guess it’s that realization of the fact that this is one of the greatest, most amazing days in a couple’s life, and they’ve trusted me to document it. That’s a lot of pressure! In a way I think that’s good though. I never want to get in the “routine” of weddings. I don’t want them to ever lose their specialness. So I guess in a way, I hope I’m always a little nervous. But I digress…

For some reason I was really having trouble shaking the nerves that day. But I’ve gotta tell ya… as soon as I arrived, I felt right at home. Carrie and her family were so laid back, sweet, and gracious, that I was instantly at ease. I love that. I immediately loved Carrie and her beautiful smile and the way that she carried herself. When we arrived at Pearl Stable and I met Steve, I could tell that these two were an amazing couple. They opted to see each other before the ceremony to do a “First Look” session, and it was so sweet. As Steve stood with his back to the door waiting for Carrie to enter, we talked, and I could see in his nervous smile just how much he adored her. Seeing both of their faces when they saw each other for the first time was magical. I loved being a part of their wedding and getting to see a glimpse of the deep love they have for each other. It’s so amazing to be a part of their family’s history and to know that no matter how much they loved each other on that day, as time goes on their love will grow deeper and wider and more all-encompassing than they could ever dream. That’s a great thing to be a part of. I love my job!

Thanks to Carrie and Steve for trusting me to document your wedding day. It was such a priviledge to work with you! Special thanks also to Sue of Wedding Planners, Inc. for making the whole event amazing and to Steve at Pizzini Designs for making the whole event breathtakingly beautiful!
