Niki and Andrew

    |    Posted by Becca on September 3rd, 2009    |    wedding life

There is something special about getting out of town to shoot a wedding- everything is new to my eyes, and I have this kind of sense of solitude- being away from places and people that I know.  That combined with the total trust and excitement that I received from Niki and Andrew really lent itself to a strong day.  When people trust me, I am free to play, and that’s when I see best.

I was also given darn good material.  You will see there is no shortage of authentic emotion from these families.  Jewel and I looked at each other after the ceremony and agreed that it was one of the most personal and meaning-filled ceremonies we had covered.  Niki and Andrew love each other so much.  I hope you see it in these pictures.

Becca, you’re so dang sweet to include a “snapshot” (pun certainly intended) of a few of my photos. : ) You are wonderful. . . and I miss you. I’ll be dang excited to get back to work. P.S. How many people actually get to say that about their jobs? Not many, my friend.
