There is an internal struggle when writing this part about a couples wedding day. No amount of words ever seam to make how big and beautiful the lives of people I'm blessed to photograph truly are. It's small and flat, simply never matching the previous thought. This is what I find most changeling, in a really really great way, on the wedding day. To make images that the couples can look back on and make tangents to the feelings of exhilaration, warmth, possibility, joy and crazy love they feel for the person they stand beside.
Mark and Gina's day it was simple to make these tangents for the bride and groom. Gina walking down State St. with her dad to get married in the cathedral she attended with her mother who passed too early. The bridal party made up with cousins and brothers. The cake knife passed on to the future brides of Gina's family.
Mark and Gina, here's to a big and beautiful marriage. Thank you for making Travis and I a part of the start!!
