This week kicks off the crazy: family time, holidays, and three weddings in four days starting with one on Maui this Saturday. In the very last stretch of wedding season and feeling so so thankful that I get to do what I do
I was still living in NYC when they reached out to me for engagement photos, and we ended up doing those as well as an in home session a couple of months later once I moved back. They had already booked their wedding photographer, but I was graciously brought on as an additional photographer for the ceremony, and pictures with just the two of them to follow. One thing led to another, everything ran longer than expected, and about an hour and a half after the ceremony we hadn’t even started the couple photos yet. We had about 15 minutes until sunset when we finally were able to get some pictures- That’s when I found out they were going to have a sparkler first dance, and thought “well I’ve stayed this long, there’s no way I’m not going to try to get this." Until this day, it is still one of my absolute favorites, and I’m so glad things worked out the way that they did. Weddings don’t always go according to schedule, but maybe that’s where the magic happens.
Just a couple of things: May & June of 2019 are officially booked for weddings, and there is only 1 more spot available for both July & August so please get in touch if you want more info! Also just sent off the gallery and blogged the elopement from Kauai a couple of weeks ago, that is honestly so dang beautiful-link in bio, or head to my stories to see more!
