I have often joked that it would not be good for my negative outlook on love to be doing 15 weddings this year. That it may be depressing. Well, I had my first wedding of the year yesterday. And I must say... I really do enjoy taking wedding pictures. It is so neat to be an outsider standing so close on such a special day. I just think it is neat to get to share and capture a couple's special day. This wedding was neat because it was extremely laid back. If I get married and if I do a formal wedding then I hope that my reception has a similar feel to it. Not rushed and everyone simply enjoying spending time with one another..as the dj said almost like a big family dinner. And you know, I do tear up at moments, but not in a depressing way..but in a how great it was to capture that moment on the bride's face. Typically the couples are so happy..and it is so precious to witness that happiness. It provides balance to my other job..where people are seeing me at their worst.
