All about you

The moment’s that really matter…

Remember when you were little and went to Grandma’s house and she got the old photo albums out? Remember the smile on her face as she’d tell you who everyone was and how happy it made her to go through it time and time again.

Well, that’s pretty much all I want for you. When you reach that age and look back through your wedding photographs, I want them to take you back to your special day. That warm feeling inside, the pre-ceremony butterflies, the smell of the wedding cake, your flower girls face as she picks up the confetti, that feeling you got when you first made eye contact with each other at opposite ends of the aisle… and lets not forget that awkward shuffle on the dance floor.
