Ceremony Moments



I don't know about you, but my favorite part of a Wedding is the Ceremony.  



Everyone is paying attention.  All is motionless.


The bride has walked up, what a moment.  Excitement, nerves, smiles, tears.




Walking in.  Walking out.  It takes courage.  Deliver Courage and you are FAMOUS :)

The children look fabulous, even surrounded by feet.  They pay attention every now and again, yet they remember a lot of this day.  






Stillness.  A Moment.  In Time.  As the years pass, can you remember this without the image? 



These Bridesmaids may have, but when we see the image, we remember more.  We feel the moment.   

 

"Who has the rings?  Face your beloved."  Sometimes, you just can't keep it together, Man or Woman.


Just ask this Groom.  Would he have remembered kissing her ring as they walked back down the aisle?  I'm not part of his family or his friend, yet I will not forget -not today, not ever.  Of course, I have a very visual mind. 
 


WHEW HEW!! When Laura and Dave walked out from their Ceremony, they had an amazingly warm welcome from their friends, their family, the staff, the Keys wildlife.  OMG !! Some moments in life just happen.  Spontaneous.  Treasured.  Captured.  Proud Photographer who loves her job right here.  Smile.  



All of this post describes my passion for my job through my eyes.  And the eyes of my team.  Yet this image.  Number 10.  Is one of my favorites, because I am a parent.  My son is 11 years old this year.  I pray that as a parent, I will feel the same love from my son and his lovely wife when they deliver hugs to me and to her parents.  On their Wedding Day.  As I see.  And feel.  Looking at this photograph.  


A Wedding is so much more than an event, it is a moment in a life. A families life.  A couples Life. A friends life.  It is life.
