Finding a good place to hang the bride's dress can be a challenge. Usually, we are limited to a hotel room, maybe the lobby. It is truly anything but hanging from the clost or bathroom door.
Many times, we can't go outside the hotel room or the floor the bride is located due to the chances that the groom could see the dress.
I love to take the dress outside if possible, but the final answer to that question always lies with the bride. And I usually try to have someone help me, so there is another set of hands to protect the dress.
With this wedding, we knew the reception stage was up, and when we walked into the room, it was perfect for their wedding outfits. I am sure I squealed with delight 😊
In this case, we asked permission to hang the clothes, and luckily, that paid off for us. The pillows were an added bonus.
Perfect setting. Serendipitous. Thankful.

Peaceful moments before the bride puts on her wedding dress.
I am always feeling honored that I can capture these brief and highly memorable moments that can be passed down to another generation to have and to hold forever.

This photo looks so effortlessly relaxed, filled with love. Almost like I came across them in the field, stopped and photographed them.
That was the absolute goal of this image. Truth be told, they were given direction such as where to place their hands, where to sit, and such.
Lastly, I told them to get in close, kiss, and cuddle. This was their vibe as a couple. Mission accomplished.
My goal for engagement photos is to have us get to know each other and have fun. Most couples have had no experience having their photo taken together, and feel awkward and don't know what to do with their bodies.
Absolutely normal. Once they learn that they will be kissing, cuddling, and having fun with the one they love most in the world, they relax, and their personalities come out individually and as a couple.
And of course, the final goal is to create incredible images that show who they are as a couple.

Loved this couple's vintage vibe. They nailed it all throughout the entire wedding day.

This is a prime example of a willing bride saying yes to my 'Hey, I have an idea. It involves you getting up on this table. Are you game?'
I love this image, and it fits this bride perfectly! The stars aligned, and we created this image together.

Behind the scenes, I was racing behind the bride to capture this moment. I had on my camera backpack, my messenger style camera bag, and one camera with my long lens hanging on my shoulder, and my other camera was up to my eye as I was fast walking, setting the camera and hoping the other camera on my shoulder wouldn't fall down to my elbow.
Things were so hectic behind the bride, though I doubt she knew I took the photo until she saw the photo gallery.
However, the serenity and peacefulness in the image were exactly what I wanted to capture.

Maid of Honor (or MOH, as those is the wedding biz call them) is giving her speech to her best friend on her wedding day.
Even though you weren't at the wedding, you can see/feel the love between the two besties
Photos like this are the main reason I love photographing weddings. This moment in time is now a visual memory of that moment. One that will be remembered and passed down through generations.

This was a very fun wedding, and the photo was not set up in any way. These long-time friends were smoking cigars and hanging outside after hours of dancing.
By now, everyone was used to the 6 foot tall, long-haired redhead with a camera. No souls were taken. They all looked good, and they forgot I was even sitting down across from them while I took this image.
My all-time favorite compliment is when I am asked if I was there because they don't remember seeing me. This warms the cockles of my heart. Of course, I let know I was there and even said goodnight to them.
Not talking about an alcohol induced forgetfulness, but a day and night filled with love and so many conversations, and good times with the people they love, that my saying goodnight was a small blip on their radar. Which is it should be as the event is not about me or any vendor, but about the couple celebrating their new union.

The first time the couple will see each other on their wedding day is a very special moment.
Not only will they see each other, but they will also see their beloved partner in their wedding clothes.
Such an anticipated moment in time, as it signifies the end of an old life and the beginning of their new life together.
This photo shows them seeing each other during a private time to take in the moment, just with each other before the ceremony.
Or, this can be done at the beginning of the ceremony, when they see each other for the first time on their wedding day.
Photo content B&W photo of a white trimmed long hallway, with many windows letting in natural light. The groom is standing in front, overcome with emotion as his soon to be wife walks down the hallway behind him. She is wearing a white wedding dress with a cathedral length veil. He is wearing a gray tuxedo.
