In my top 3 favorite moments from a wedding is groom seeing his bride for the first time. Nothing beats the emotion and beauty that overwhelms you at that moment. You don’t know if you want her to get closer to you immediately or just freeze that moment so you can admire your beauty at its utmost. Melissa had told me that the most important thing for her wedding was that Mike gets to see her for the first time as she made her way down the boardwalk and up the aisle towards him. As soon as Mike got a glimpse of his bride I could feel the joy, love, excitement and tenderness that hit his heart. He couldn’t help himself and tears just flowed. Beautiful. Moments like these are what makes it worth the cold, rain, threat of rain, snow, come what may, all worth while. It’s moments like these that I live for documenting and have an incredible honor to be in the presence of.
Melissa and Mike- you guys are just wonderful people. It was such an honor to be able to document your love. Thank you for letting me in and capture a glimpse of the abundant love you guys have for each other.
