Rhonda and Adam were married on 7/25/09

At first it looked liked we would have some rain. We were ready for anything – rain, sunshine and winds. As it turned out we had a little bit of all during the formals that we captured before the ceremony.  Many couples do not want to see each other before the ceremony because of preference of because of some old tale about bad luck. This couple wanted to have lots of pictures to choose from but did not want their guests to wait too long for them between the ceremony and their reception because they wanted a lot of pictures.

The way we approach this is to have a “private” meeting between the groom and the bride so that they can see each other for the first time. This is a perfect time for us to have our cameras ready to capture the expressions that come from this meeting. Having 2 professional photographers gives you the ability to see the expressions of the bride and the groom as they happen, having 1 photographer limits you on what can be captured.

Great formals, great ceremony (first time we photographed a Mennonite ceremony),  and great reception (first time we saw a “dash for the cash” instead of a dollar dance).  Before we left we noticed the moon above the reception hall, and suggested a few last pictures to the couple – they loved it.
