Many things I’ll remember from our day with Liz & Steven.  Here’s a brief list:

  • Our first experiences with the Jewish Tish, Kabbalat Panim, & Bedecken ceremonies.  The laughter! The smiles! The songs & stories!
  • The wind! It was so windy, I think it was blowing all the love around from family member to bridal party to Liz & Steven
  • The Hava Nagila (one of my favorite parts from any Jewish wedding)
  • The way Liz looked at Steven during their ceremony
  • All the happy tears flowing throughout the day…Steven, Liz’s father and brother, Liz, me…I could go on and on
  • The longest Jenga game ever…39 turns and 45 minutes
  • The wonderful stories I heard about Steven from the groomsmen while getting ready
  • Hearing the recording of Liz’s dad singing Daughters to Liz
  • The nervousness in Steven’s eyes before he saw Liz for the first time. You could FEEL how much they loved each other in those moments.  I had chills.
  • The way they held hands during their ceremony
  • The game of Red Rover played during portraits
  • The thing that I’ll remember most from Liz & Steven’s day is leaving with the feeling that there is NO DOUBT in my head that they LOVE one another, would do anything for one another and are surrounded by a wonderful support group of family & friends that will constantly push them to continue on in their journey together.  Liz & Steven will be constant reminders for me of why Jenny & I take wedding pictures in the first place.

What a wonderful wedding and what a perfect couple. You both look so so happy and I was glad that Bob and I were there to share your special day. I love these pictures. I have seen a lot of photos in my day but your photographer knows hows to do it. A pure artist. You will have to give me her/his number so I can hold onto it for when Bob's daughters get married - hopefully not anytime soon. Years from now you will look at these pictures and they will take you back to that special day - enjoy and best wishes to you both.
