we are often asked about our interaction with the infamous ‘bridezillas’ and we feel so blessed to not be able to speak to that phenomenon. we’ve worked with some seriously incredible couples over the years and i can easily say that we’ve yet to work with a bridezilla. in fact, we’ve worked with several brides who’ve been the calming and soothing voice when friends or relatives started to show their nerves. because we do find ourselves in the middle of one of the most emotional, life changing days of a person’s life, it is always interesting to me to capture the bride as the ceremony draws near and this reality begins to really sink in. one of the most special moments i’ve ever been a part of was the moment sheri realized that all she wanted before walking down the aile was a quiet moment with the love of her life. she had the presence of mind, amidst the emotions of the day, to put down her schedule (gasp!), clear out her room (except for us!) and spend some intentional, quiet time enjoying her excitement, love and joy with brad. it was so sweet to witness their deep connection and realize how perfect these calming moments were for sheri & brad. they took a few deep breaths and spoke quietly and when the time came to leave for their ceremony, they were both refreshed and energized and excited to begin the rest of their day together! just beautiful!
we were so excited when sheri & brad told us about their wedding venue, the temple. not only is it beautiful but the history is so rich and layered with love and unity- what a perfect place to begin their new life together!
after the ceremony, sheri & brad snuck away with us for a few couple portraits in and around their reception venue, the georgian terrace. i especially loved this first location that matt scouted earlier on their wedding day- stairs fading into nothingness might be my new favorite thing! :)
oops! nevermind. maybe this location is my favorite. did they rock this or what??
sheri & brad’s reception was such a sweet time- they rarely left each other’s sides and these smiles never left their faces- what a joyful evening!
