We are often asked what makes one wedding stand out from another. The thing that really sets a wedding apart from the rest is the families involved. Jenny and Michael both have wonderful families. Everyone was brimming with joy and pride for Jenny and Michael, and you could feel it. It’s so affirming to be around such happiness and affection, it always rubs off on us and on the photos! Jenny is simply adored by her father and two brothers. When we were photographing Jenny’s portrait before the ceremony they each came to see her individually but each had the same reaction…. they were stunned by her loveliness, held her hand and told her they loved her…just like that, one after the other. When her father came in to see her he also threw in a “I’m so proud of you” for good measure. {Kleenex please…sniffle}. Jenny is already a favorite auntie to Michael’s sisters children, the two flowergirls and the ringbearer. Just when you thought the family cuteness factor couldn’t get any cuter enter Michael’s two sisters who were the two bridesmaids and gave an excellent toast, lightly teasing their brother of course. Proud parents, loving siblings, sweet neices and a nephew = a wedding that truly stands apart and photos full of happiness and joy.
Oh, and the final secret ingredient? Love at first sight. Michael told Trish when he laid eyes on Jenny he was instantly smitten. Smitten is a good word… and an even better emotion. Sprinkling in some smittenness is always a good idea.
