When this bride-to-be contacted me to capture portraits of her and her new husband on the day of their wedding, as soon as she told me they didn’t mind getting their clothes dirty or rolling around on the ground, I knew from the start that we shared the same artistic vision, and that this would be a wonderful session! She told me the story about how she had to go through such a long process and waiting for her husband-to-be to arrive from Albania, where he is originally from, to come to the United States to be with her. Sometimes I ponder the power of love that can hold a couple together though miles and seas and cultures apart, and the joy they must be feeling now to finally be together. It is such an honor for me to be able to capture such a special moment, knowing these photographs will be in their family for years to come… another moving story that the bride just told me is that she has always carried around a old photo of her own grandfather kneeling down, when he was younger, in hopes that she would find a husband just like that… little did she know she would later find a photo of her future husband in that same exact position…. which we attempted to recreate in our photosession as well…. stories like that make my heart melt… I hope someday my photos might be referenced just like that…. to the bride and groom, congrats on your marriage, and enjoy your little sneak peek!
