There is a moment; it's right when the familiar march is cued before the bride appears - I hold my breath. It's habitual - perhaps even instinctive. I'm standing (crouching, kneeling, sitting, etc), camera aimed at the entrance, and I'm not breathing. It's as if my body knows how monumental the following 20 seconds are, and it is anxious not to do anything - even take in air - to disrupt it.
The bride emerges at the end of the aisle, beaming, and begins her procession. I can inhale again. The moment is perfect.

Rae and Jason were married at gorgeous Hollis Gardens. The day was nothing short of incredible, and Rae was absolutely...breathtaking. :)
I love the emotion in the following two:
A really, really good kiss. ;)
Are we in the rainforest? Beautiful.
A good contestant for my "favorite of the day" award.
Cute portrait of the Mr. and Mrs. :)
Just a taste of the reception insanity. This one will go down as one of my favorite crazy-dancing-drink-slinging-thrown-over-the-shoulder images of all time. :)

I love it! It was a great wedding and you and Ben captured it beautifully. :)
(07.13.09)The over the shoulder photo has to be my favorite picture from all the ones I have seen from you guys. The faces are awesome, the clarity of the spilling drink is awesome, and your choice of color usage is awesome.
