Kristen’s After Glow

January 11, 2010

Describe your wedding day in one word.

Fabulous!

What was your favorite moment of the day?

The brief moment after the ceremony when I got a private moment to kiss my new husband for the first time. Also, getting to be first through the buffet line as the “bride” privilege.

Favorite wedding photo?

I liked the close-up shots of our sneakers...the cake smashing series...the ones of me on the steps with my gown flowing out behind me...and the ones of my husband and I kissing. I used to like the one at the ceremony of my husband with a big grin on his face, but I now know that’s not from the excitement of seeing me walk down the aisle, but his amusement at watching me trip up the stairs. Dee took so many amazing pictures, and made me look so good, that it’s really hard to pick just one.

Any advice for future brides?

Keep the traditional parts you like and toss the rest. Don’t let anyone else direct you on what to do with your BIG day. Also, have a photo booth at your reception! The guests dig it, and you get lots of funny pictures.

Nick and Kristen’s Wedding at Beaver Meadow Audubon Center

November 21, 2009

When I create a slideshow for a bride and groom, I try to use their first dance song because I know it’s a special melody. I’ll be honest when I say that I would have never picked this song for Nick and Kristen’s photos and that’s why I love it. I’d never even heard this song before, but it reminds me of how beautiful and unique each relationship is that I’m so lucky to be able to experience and photograph. Thank you.
